excellent camera

I am a photojournalist with 30+ year's experience, and have been searching for some time for a good point and shoot to carry on my off days. After much research, I narrowed the field down to the Panasonic. I have not been dissapointed. The picture quality is excellent, and the build of the camera is sturdy and substantial. I like to kayak, and really wanted a point and shoot with a substantial zoom to shoot nature while out on the water. This camera has proven a good choice. I wish it were a little wider on the short end of the zoom, but you can't have everything in one camera. The controls are friendly, and after a little handling, it becomes very intuitive. Highly recommended.

very ergonomic

This is the best camera I have ever owned, and I think this one is the perfect transition camera if you want to move onto a real SLR. The FZ-50 has a lot of functions you can control manually, which allow you to take some fantastic crisp pictures and the Mega OIS is a major plus.

Any one who wants a lot or little manual control but great pictures, this is the camera for you. The sensors are not at par with SLR's which are twice or thrice as much in cost, but the Leica lenses wont let you down.

All in all its a great buy, its very ergonomic as it is not as bulky as traditional SLR's fits nicely in the hand, and once you get to know all its intricacies its a fantastic toy.

The FZ50's Lens Is the Story

The FZ-50 is a Leica lens with a very simple body attached to it. The body has a very simple interface, especially if you have ever confronted the back side of a Nikon D200 with its many bells and whistles, menus, buttons, dials, etc. But the body is not the story, it only means a rank amateur can take sharp, beautiful pictures with this camera instead of spending hours studying a 200-page manual on focusing and metering. No, the story is the lens. The clarity and color that comes out of this camera is just wackily good. And there's image stabilization so you can take advantage of its 420 (digital equivalent) millimeters so that speck on the horizon can become your subject. I am a writer. I need to think about what I'm seeing and hearing, so taking pictures is an afterthought. Now the camera thinks for itself so I can concentrate on the right things. Just set the knob to "P" and forget it. Also, a swivel-out viewer means you can shoot from the waist or with the camera over your head if necessary -- or you just want a more interesting angle. If I needed something that would fit in a shirtpocket I would get the next Linux model down from this, also 10 megapixels, also with a Leica lens. Did I mention the price?

The Best of the Best

Being able to spend many hours on the internet, I did an extensive research to find this camera. Three month of comparing made me buying this camera. It fulfilled its promises and could not be any better. My objective was to have a product which is capable to provide 100% sharpness and top quality pictures under all circumstances - I got it!
I purchased the camera about one month ago, and used for high sensitive application in a clinic, but also privat for the family. No complaints.
Great pictures.
I was hesitating to purchase the FZ50 because of some evaluations regarding "noise" and "white" problems. I was not able to confirm these reports. These matters are really so minor that you have a hard time to find even these problems. The camera worked for me in a superior manner regardles of siruations and light conditions. I tried several other products of equal rank and the FZ50 outperformed every other camera even in higher price range.
The handling and simplicity is amazing. I started in the automatic range and then studied my way through the about 140 page instruction manual, implementing the offered technology step by step. I now developed trust in this camera and learned to use all features. Perfect construction - solid and very handy. I guess the bit larger size is just one advantage for speedy and easy handling. Already after a very short time the handling becomes automatically without searching for the bottons because everything is set up great and the handling becomes natural.
The only thing I was able to improve is the picture quality when using the flash. I added an additional flash which gives me a bit of a warmer tone compared to the build in flash.
Great camera which comes to unbelievable great price, outperforming fashionable brands like Canon and others...
The lens going practically to a zoom is the best and enables to go away from costly additional lenses.
I am happy and certainly would buy the FZ50 anytime again.

I have been reading about this camera for months now both pros and cons
I'll will soon be taking a trip to Cambodia and needed a better Digital camera then what I have now, I have been a Leica owner for years and wanted to by the DMC 1 but too expensive and too much stuff to buy this camera really dose cover a lot of ground like most reviews say Heavy Cumbersome
but takes great pictures is right on the money you would have to invest
thousands to get the same pictures and most people want pictures and thats it, this camera delivers order the HI Speed card for this one it is worth the extra 30 dollars, I live in Reno and the Distro center sent it to me in one day it was at my door a 10AM I bought the $12 dollar Batteries and they work just as well as the original so save your money
