Comments about Panasonic Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ50K Digital SLR Camera, 10.4 MP, 12x Optical, 4x Digital Zoom, MEGA Optical Image Stabilizer, Black:

I'm just getting started using the Lumix...spent one weekend taking pictures. Some blurring, but I attribute this to picture taker error and moving subjects. I'm so pleased with the super zoom! It's exactly what I wanted before I venture into the SLR area. Very happy with this camera.

This is the best high-end point & shoot camera that you'll ever want or need. I owned the FZ20 and it served well for several years until I got it wet too many times. I suggest getting a plastic housing if you work in poor weather conditions.

A wonderful camera - The zoom is first rate, the stabilisation works wonders, and for those looking more for fun than professional photos the auto focus works, as does the macro. For those looking to get to know the manual controls, it is very simple - One hand gets focus and zoom on the lens, the other gets the apature and shutter speed control wheels. There is a slight noise even at a low ISO, but a quick fix in a program such as Photoshop will have you producing professional quality prints and pictures in no time at all. An excellent buy, and well worth the money - To buy an SLR and lens with the same capability and quality would cost well over £1000.

Unless you have thousands to spend on a digital SLR with lenses and accessories. This is the camera for you. In program mode it's a PHD camera ( Push Here Dummy). If you are a pro, or learning to be one, you can take this camera as far as you want to learn to go. You're going to need at least a 1gig card, and an extra battery. The 32meg card that comes with it is a joke. Keep in mind that even a very expensive pen won't help you write a better novel. My advice: Zoom in and learn to compose, take thousands of pics and never let anyone see the bad ones.

I bought this camera because I wanted high resolution, big zoom and easy controls. Could not make a better choice: Panasonic is so easy to use, that is unbelievable! Focus is excellent even in low light conditions, the manual zoom is one of the best ideas of Panasonic. Compliments and thank you!

This is my 4th digital camera. I've owned a Olympus D-510, Panasonic FZ20, Canon A620, and now the FZ50. This is a great camera. Very easy to use and get creative. Some reviewers complain about noise, but I don't think the noise is that bad as long as your not a "pixel peeper" or blowing up your pics to large poster size. A little noise reduction software will correct it. It handles a lot better than my FZ20. I love the zoom and focus rings rather than a button or knob. After using this camera for about a week I'm able to access menus and change settings without looking...it's that easy, and things just seem to be in the right spot. The tilt/flip LCD comes in very handy for those hard to reach pics.

I have taken about 100 pictures with it, just getting the feel. The image stabalization works wonders, so long as you remember it only removes the camera shake, not movement of the object. All of my pictures have been taken with 100 asa and manual focus with excelent results.

Has all the features of a 35 mm slr, I can focus on my wife's glass art, set the exposures manually and the zoom is fantastic, especially the focus and zoom on the lens barrel.

The FZ-50 is an amazing camera, the use is quite intuitive and the functions/programs really do well. The lens is superior. At high speeds the pictures get a lot less noisy than I have seen it in other cameras. Due to the stabilization I took picture in dark setting with lower isos and got very good results.

I totally recommend this camera. There is no flaw that I would know of after about 2.5 months of extensive use

I bought this camera because I wanted high resolution, big zoom and easy controls. Could not make a better choice: I have also a Nikon 8700 which focus has been always a problem. This Panasonic is so easy to use, that is unbelievable! Focus is excellent even in low light conditions, the manual zoom is one of the best ideas of Panasonic. Compliments and thank you!

Having upgraded to the FZ50, WOW what a great camera, The 12x Zoom Lens is suberb, with a fast AF, and great Image Stabilization System.I know there has been crtisism about "Noise" in the FZ30 but I have printed 12x8 shot at ISO400 which have shown no appreciable noise.

This is a great all round camera and definately the one for anyone who wants the flexibility of a DSLR without the expense and numerous lens changes
