Great camera and image quality. Big camera body for a point and shoot

I agree in full with what everyone says about the image quality and ability to take raw pictures. It is a remarkable camera. One complaint I had was its ability to autofocus in low-light levels. Even manual focusing, which appeared on the screen to be in focus later turned out to be out of focus. I would recommend to them to use a white light focusing mechanism instead of the red light that comes on in low light, near object situations. Cameras I have used with this white light have always autofocused better for me. What confused me(and this is more of an observation that a complaint) was the inclusion of this camera in a 'point and shoot' category. By definition, it is a point and shoot in that it doesn't have a mechanical shutter like the SLR cameras. However, the camera is rather large, and if one is expecting to take this camera in a carry-on on a plane, please refer to the pictures I uploaded using 2 other camera types against this camera.

One of my better purchases!

Great deal on this camera. It offers so much in control, and yet will still take a snapshot. It arrived on time, in good order, just as advertised. I was hesitant as it was a third party vendor (Adorama), but it was an excellent deal and completely as advertised.

Went from Canon XTi to FZ50 and never looked back!

I was a owner of Canon products for years, for the past 1.5yrs I have been using a Canon 400D DSLR, I got so tired of lugging around lens and gear that I quit photography all together for a few month's That is until I found the FZ50!

The FZ50 is a remarkable camera for its price, In order to have a DSLR witht he range and quality of the lecia lens you would be spending around $5,000 on lens alone, There is no other comparision for this camera,

It takes excellent Macro, the color range is dynamic, and it has the best EVF I have seen on a camera, The Mega OIS is a better system than Canons Image stabilzation

It came down to the FZ50 and the Canon S5IS, I am so glad I read revviews and picked this Camera

For anyone sitting on the fence about Panasonic Buy this camera now, you will never regret it

Pana Fz50

I think, this Pana. FZ50 is the best camera that you can get, if you do not want to own a SLR. I gave it a three stars, because it does not take AA battery.

The 10.1 megapixel Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ50 features a powerful f2.8 Leica DC lens with 12x optical zoom. The lens focal length is equivalent to 35-420mm on a 35mm film camera and is enhanced by Mega Optical Image Stabilizer (O.I.S.) system. The DMC-FZ50's 10.1-megapixel high resolution CCD for its image sensor and Venus Engine III for the image processing LSI makes it possible to record a image at maximum ISO 1600 high sensitivity setting at full resolution. Furthermore, by dramatically reducing the noise levels that challenged its predecessor, the DMC-FZ50 is able to capture 10.1-megapixel full resolution images even in high sensitivity recording. The DMC-FZ50 is equipped with a new Function Button which serves as a shortcut to quickly set frequently-used settings such as recording image size, light metering, AF area, white balance, and ISO sensitivity. The 2-inch LCD flips out to 180 degrees, making it easier to view even when shooting from high or low angles. Finally, the battery life is greatly extended by approximately 29% compared with its predecessor allowing the FZ50 to shoot approximately 360 images on one charge. In addition to standard VGA 640 x 480 at 30 frames per second (fps) motion image recording, the DMC-FZ50 also records full-size movies in wide-aspect VGA 848 x 480 at 30 fps. Self Timer - 10 seconds / 2 seconds Recording Format Still Image - JPEG, DPOF corresponding Still Image with Audio - JPEG + QuickTime Burst Shooting Mode - Standard Full-resolution image Mode Up to 5 images at 2 or 1 frames per seconds, Up to 3 images in Fine Mode LCD Monitor - Free-angle 2.0 inch Diagonal Polycrystalline TFT LCD Display (207k pixels) Direct Print PictBridge Power Supply - Lithium-ion Battery Pack (7.2V, 710 mAh) Battery Life - Up to 360 pictures Dimensions - Height 3.37 x Width 5.54 x Depth 5.59 inch Weight - 1.47 pounds
