Digital SLRs may be making all the headlines but rumours of the death of the compact camera have been greatly exaggerated. Panasonics latest super-zoom revitalises the category with a mighty 18x optical zoom, spanning a range from useful wide-angle (2...
Abstract: The Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ18 performs quite well for having such an extreme optical zoom. While it is normal that ultra-zooms compromise one image quality, this one compromise very little to pack an 18X zoom along an 8 megapixels sensor. The major d...
