Digital photography moves fast - there’s a constantly flowing stream of compacts and next-gen models revealed to the market every single month. Which makes it all the more baffling when you’re hunting down the right compact camera for your summer holiday snaps. Not to forget the credit crunch either; there’s not a huge amount of […]

The Panasonic Lumix DMC-FS20 is a 10 megapixel ultracompact digital camera and the top-level offering in Panasonic’s recently announced FS series of stylish, budget-conscious pocket cams. Equipped with an optically stabilized 4x zoom that begins at a wide 30mm, the FS20 also makes use of a large, bright, and crisp 3 inch LCD.

The Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX35 is a slim 10.1 Megapixel compact with a 4x optically stabilised lens. Announced in January 2008, it comes just six months after its predecessor the Lumix FX33, which itself came only seven months after the Lumix FX30.

The Panasonic Lumix DMC-LZ10 is a fairly compact camera offering a 10 Megapixel CCD, a wide 5X, 30 - 150 mm lens, a gorgeous 2.5″ LCD display, widescreen movie recording, and more. It, along with its little brother (the DMC-LZ8) are the replacements for the DMC-LZ6/LZ7, which were introduced a year earlier.

The Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ5 was announced in January 2008, exactly one year after its predecessor, the enormously successful Lumix DMC-TZ3.

Sitting about as close to the middle of this wide and […]

Back in March last year I reviewed the then-new Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ2. It was one of a pair of models being promoted by Panasonic as the ideal travel cameras, tough and versatile with 28-280mm-equivalent 10x zoom lenses.

If you can’t decide whether you want a digital camera that shoots wide landscapes or zoomed-in close-ups, Panasonic’s new Lumix DMC-FZ18 offers a stratospheric focal range that should help you cover all the angles. With a Leica-branded, 18X optical zoom lens, the FZ18 boasts the equivalent of a 28mm to 504mm range on a 35mm […]

Three CCDs used to be the hallmark of professional-grade camcorders. But in 2003 Panasonic started to bring the technology down to models well under a grand. Now, amazingly, you can pick up a Panasonic camcorder with a trio of sensors for under £250 - well into bargain basement territory. The NV-GS230 is a MiniDV model, […]
