highly recommended

So far...

I've had the camera for 5 days now.
It's worked perfectly. The zoom is something really impressive, the definition on the pictures with 10.1MP it's just outstanding.
it's a great camera and really easy to use.
So far the only thing i've disliked is the flash. Will review some more later.

FZ50 with Leica

If you know photography (not from the ads that support a magazine), you know what the word Leica means to quality. The camera is super and the focus is fast, very important so you don't miss the shots you are looking for. If you think any of the other lenses out there can compare to a Leica, than stick with the magazine ads you read and remain ignorant of true quality. The ads for most cameras are the same as the TV promos for the comedy shows. They all claim to be the hit of the season or VERY FUNNY or some such nonsense. Most are off the air 6 months later because words in an ad don't make a good show. Ths same with the camera and lense people who claim their stuff is so good. Most are very good, but they don't compare to a Leica.

Great Super Zoom Digital

My previous camera was a Canon S2is and I intended to get a S5is. After reading multiple professional reviews, I decided to go with the Panasonic DMC-FZ50 and I wasn't disappointed. I do a lot of wildlife photography, which requires quick zooming. This camera with it's manual zoom feature is better and faster than I ever imagined. It is super fast from power-on to clicking the shutter and the images are sharp. It has an easy to follow menu and the ability to establish your custom (most used) settings. If you intend to print larger than 8X10's, be sure to keep the ISO under 400 and preferably 200 and under. This is a large camera, not a pocket camera, but the closest thing to a DSLR without having to change lens. I've been using digitals ever since their inception and the is the best one yet!!

I did the research, so you don't have to

I researched cameras for weeks relentlessly until I finally bought this camera. I read probably 300 reviews and articles about different cameras. I was starting to lose my mind, literally. The problem is, for as many good things people have to say about different cameras, there are always plenty of negative comments that can scare you away. One person says the camera is too heavy, another says it is light...one says the pics look like crap, another says they are beautiful...Well, I finally pulled the trigger and bought the FZ50, and I can honestly say that it was a very wise decision.
I am a novice at best with cameras. I had no problem turning this camera on for the first time and immediately go right into taking great pictures. The auto mode allows me to do that. The pictures are crisp and clear even when blown up in to bigger sizes. The colors are wonderful. Yes, the pics are not quite up to the level of some dslr pics I've seen, but they are wonderful nontheless.
The camera looks awesome, and feels great in your hands. It is a good size and weight. All of the controls are easily accessed right at your fingertips.
One aspect of the camera that was impotant to me, but may seem silly, is that once it is focused, when I push the button down to take the picture, it clicks, and takes it right away.(unless you are using flash..(about a second delay)) this is very important to me because I cannot tell you how many great pics I've missed of my dogs or kids because my old camera didnt take the pic until 3 secs after I depressed the button. It was very frustrating.
The best part of the camera is, like I said, you can take great pics right out of the box with the auto mode, but the camera has so many other modes and features to learn, that I can see myself learning new and exciting things and growing as a photographer throughout years to come. The camera really begs to be learned and challenges you to go out and take cool pics.
The FZ50 is really a fun, easy (if you want it to be) camera and I suggest it to anyone who is looking for a camera in this price range. You will not regret your decision.
Here is a great website that I found where you can go to see TONS of pics taken with only the FZ50:

the FZ50 group hold contests from time to time for best pictures too..hopefully you see one of mine there someday!

Are You Kidding Me!!

Cheaper than any dSLR with just as good features and picture quality. Purchased in Aug 2007 and has traveled with me to Egypt, Thailand, Indonesia and Belize. Great companion to travel with. Pictures are exceptional. All the features have a bit of a learning curve, but after that it's all you and the viewfinder.
