A great buy [Posted on 2008-06-21]
Got this camera in Dec last year. The FZ18 is my 3rd digi cam after the nikon 5400 and canon sd400 and it's the best! It takes great photos, is light, has a fantastic 18X zoom and good image stablisation. i just love it! If you're ok with a slightly larger camera, this is the one to buy.
Loved since I opened it [Posted on 2008-06-25]
I recently wanted to upgrade from a simple point & shoot to something with a little more manual control, without spending a whole lot of money on a DSLR and here's what I got.... I think I made a GREAT decision on buying this camera!!!
If you're thinking about buying a camera that's not as simple as a P&S, but not as expensive as a DSLR this a great option. I just got the camera, charged the battery and starting taking shots, and even using the IA (intelligent auto) mode the pictures are VERY VERY GOOD! Actually, according to some of the reviews I found here, I was expecting a little less quality on the pics but they were more than good.
The feel is pretty good, nice grip and it feels really comfortable in your hands (doesn't feel cheap at all!!!) The camera is not bulky, you probably wont want to put it in your pocket, unless you want everybody to stare at your leg like somethings coming out of it though....
Zooming is very smooth and focusing doesn't take long at all...
When I first fully charged the battery, it took like 10 minutes of video and like 200 pictures to drain it almost completely, which I think is very good.
The menu is very intuitive, and if you know what you're doing it'll be a lot easier to manually adjust the camera settings.
In conclusion, I would strongly recommend this camera for people who are not willing to pay for a DSLR or probably think it's too complicated (like myself LOL) and you won't be disappointed... BELIEVE ME!!!
Excellent camera [Posted on 2008-07-05]
It's an excellent camera, it have some details like the flashlight sometimes is covered by the lens when you use it close to the object, but in general review it's an excellent camera.
Very Good at this price [Posted on 2008-07-15]
