Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS7/TZ10 Review
Jul 25th
The super zoom compacts roll on: now with the Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS7 (also known as the TZ10) Panasonic offers a 12x Leica optical zoom that puts into your hands focal range that matches a 35 SLR camera’s 25-300mm lens. Some lens! Panasonic describes this camera as a Travel Zoom model: compact, pocketable, easy to use but offering a healthy range of exposure options that could handle most photographic challenges, viewed on a 7.6cm LCD screen. To my mind this camera would act as a superb, com Read More
Using the Panasonic Lumix DMC-GF1

Panasonic Lumix DMC-GF1 Reviews Record Mode Despite running its dust reduction sequence when you power it up, the DMC-GF1 is still ready to start taking pictures in a fraction of a second. Nice! In case you missed it: there’s a histogram available on the GH1 If you’ve used contrast detect autofocus on a digital SLR, then you know how slow it can be. Focus times in the seconds are common. Thanks to the Micro Four Thirds system and some clever engineering by Panasonic, the GF1 is a Read More
Panasonic Lumix DMC-GF1 Reviews
Nov 3rd
The Panasonic Lumix DMC-GF1 ($899, with lens) is a compact interchangeable lens camera that uses the Micro Four Thirds standard. When Panasonic introduced their first Micro Four Thirds camera, the DMC-G1, many folks (myself included) were disappointed that it was fairly large, and not the compact model we hoped the MFT format would deliver. Olympus upped the ante with their E-P1, which has a compact, retro-styled body that is a lot closer to what many people expected in the first place. Unfortun Read More

The Lumix DMC-FZ35 ($399) is the update to Panasonic’s popular FZ28 super zoom camera. While both cameras share the same basic design and 18X, 27 – 486 mm Leica lens, the differences are more than skin deep. The biggest changes are an improved image stabilizer, faster autofocus system, and an enhanced movie mode, though there’s plenty more. This chart compares the major features of the FZ28 and FZ35: And those are just the major changes! There are a few other differen Read More
Using the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX580
Sep 10th
Record Mode The Lumix DMC-FX580 has one of the slowest startup times I’ve seen on an ultra-compact camera in some time. It takes the camera nearly three seconds to extend its lens and prepare for shooting. Why, I do not know. A live histogram is available Focus speeds were good, though not quite as fast as some other Panasonic models. For the best performance you’ll want to turn on the 1-area high speed AF mode, and you can also turn on Quick (continuous) AF to reduce delays, as w Read More
