Title: Panasonic Lumix FZ50 Review

Verdict: The Panasonic FZ50 is a high-end camera with a large stabilized zoom lens. It handles and feels like a digital SLR. To complement that experience, there's a powerful flash with a hotshoe, full manual controls and shooting modes, accessories, good battery

Summary: The Lumix FZ50 is Panasonic's latest top-of-the-line fixed lens camera. It still has the 12X stabilized lens from the FZ30 but now it adds 10 megapixels of resolution and all these:

Title: Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ50 Review

Verdict: If you want a DSLR-like camera, without it actually being a true DSLR, then the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ50 is for you. It's one of a handful of compact digital cameras with a 12x zoom lens, offering a versatile focal range of 35-420mm that will more than sa

Pros: Excellent feature set. Zoom and focus ring. Includes a hot shoe. Has optical image stabilization. Supports RAW format.

Pros: Generous, 12x optical zoom lens, Very quiet, easy-to-adjust manual zoom ring, Effective fly-by-wire manual focus ring, Excellent MEGA O.I.S. feature steadies long-range and low-light shots, Serious, hefty design suggests professional digital SLR, Swivelin

Cons: Heavy chroma noise when shooting above ISO 400, Shots at ISO 400 look okay, but distinctly soft printed at 8x10; shots at ISO 800 are only good for 4x6 prints at best, Early shutter penalty jams up camera if you snap pictures too quickly, Shot-to-shot spe

Verdict: Panasonic's all-in-one superzoom cameras have garnered very positive reviews from critics and consumers alike over the years, and with good reason. The winning combination of the Lumix line's Leica-branded optical zoom lenses of up to 12x, and Panasonic's

Summary: Panasonic's Lumix FZ50 takes the company into new territory in terms of resolution, matching the resolution of many popular SLRs, and exceeding their zoom abilities with one very long 12x, 35-420mm Leica zoom. Though the Panasonic FZ50 is as big as an SLR

Title: Panasonic Lumix DMC FZ50 Review

Verdict: The Panasonic Lumix FZ50 camera is already Panasonic's fourth FZ10-series Megazoom camera, the FZ40 never existed. It has to be said the step from FZ20 to the FZ30 was quite a leap indeed. The step to the Lumix FZ50 isn't quite as large, yet every bit as

Pros: Great features, Speedy operation, Big zoom

Cons: Soft pictures, Noise canceling algorithm leads to loss of clarity, Big, Price

Verdict: While the FZ50 is a reasonably strong advanced camera, a combination of its size, price tag and issues at high sensitivities mean it is only suited to certain buyers.

Title: Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ50 full review

Pros: Great quality lens with massive 12x range, Optical Image Stabilisation, Flip-out and twistable screen, Great build quality and manual control,

Cons: Noise levels high even at low sensitivities, Smearing from noise reduction

Summary: At Cameralabs we were very fond of the earlier Panasonic Lumix FZ30. Sporting a great quality 12x optical zoom lens with effective stabilisation along with SLR-styling and a decent level of manual control, there really wasn't much to complain about.

Title: Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ50

Verdict: At $640, the Panasonic doesn't quite encroach on DSLR territory, but if you want a camera with SLR-like handling and control it's worth spending the extra on Canon's 400d or Nikon's D40x. Of course, the FZ50 wins out for its bigger zoom and ability to sho

Summary: Good quality and with a proper li-ion battery, but expensive and bulky compared to the Olympus.

Title: REVIEW-PANASONIC DMC-FZ50 camera

Pros: The external flash shoe is a useful feature and the swing-out rotating LCD screen is excellent. And that is just as well.

Cons: The electronic viewfinder is pretty dire. Fortunately the LCD viewer is manoeuvrable and of high enough resolution and brightness to serve as a viewfinder most of the time. It doesn't have as many swings and tilts as the Canon S3IS but it is still useful.

Verdict: The Panasonic is a difficult camera to rate. The lens and image processing are so good and the image stabilisation so effective that you want to love it. And for static images it is hard to beat. For a tourist this could be the ideal camera. But for takin

Summary: The Panasonic DMC-FZ50 is a 10 megapixel super-zoom camera with a 35-420mm (film equivalent) Leica lens.

Title: Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ50

Pros: Stunning lens, Good range of creative features, Gorgeous movie mode

Cons: Image quality not on SLR levels

Verdict: Another area where the FZ50 feels more like an SLR than a compact is in its displays. Two inches is positively Lilliputian for an LCD these days, although its fold-out action does at least give you the chance to frame candid shots - or even shoot round co

Summary: The FZ50 definitely has professional aspirations, with its tough, grippy, black plastic body, fronted by a hefty 12x zoom lens
