Product Description
The DMC-FZ8 features the 12x Leica DC Vario-Elmarit lens that packs the same zoom power as a big, clunky 400 mm-class film camera lens. This 12x optical zoom lens is super-bright at f/2.8 to f/3.3 with a focal length of 6 to 72 mm. Rotate the lever a small amount for slow zooming, and a larger amount for high-speed zooming. This makes it easy to zoom in and out quickly when you need to or to slow down for finer zooming control. Zoom Resume stores your zoom position (magnification) in memory, so you can shoot with the same zoom setting once the power is turned on again. This helps make sure you don't miss those great shooting opportunities. The CCDs used in most digital cameras have much smaller light-receiving areas than film does, so photos tend to have a high depth of field. You can snap photos that capture the subject in a clear, sharp focus while giving the background a beautiful soft focus. 0.44-inch Viewfinder Color EVF (188 K Pixels), 100% Field of View Image Sensor - 1/2.5-inch AF Assist Lamp ISO Sensitivity - Auto, 100, 200, 400, 800 and 1250 (High Sensitivity Mode - 3200)Dial - P (Program), A (Aperture Priority), S (Shutter Priority), M (Manual) Mode, Simple and SCN Scene Mode - Portrait, Soft Skin, Scenery, Sports, Panning, Night Portrait, Night Scenery, Food, Party, Candle, Baby1, Baby2, Pet, Sunset, High Sensitivity, Starry Sky, Fireworks, Beach, Snow and Aerial Photo Shutter Speed Program AE - 1 - 1/2,000 seconds Aperture Priority AE / Shutter Priority AE - 8 - 1/2,000 seconds Manual - 60 - 1/2,000 seconds Built-in-Flash - Auto, Auto Red-eye Reduction, Forced On, Forced On Red-eye Reduction, Slow Sync Red-eye Reduction and Forced Off Dimensions - Width 4.43 x Height 2.84 x Depth 3.11 inch (112.5 x 72.2 x 79.0 mm) Weight - 357 grams with Battery and SD Memory Card (0.78 pounds)

 This is simply a great camera. June 30, 2009
I've been interested in photography for a couple of years now and have been trying to learn as I go. I bought this camera because I was looking for one with a good amount of optical zoom and I found it at a great price. I wish such lucky things happened to me every day! Starting out with this camera after using simpler point and shoots was a bit challenging, but after playing around with it for just a few days, I was taking great pictures before I knew anything about all the advanced settings. The really great part about this camera though is that, as I'm learning more about photography and how to get the shots I want, I'm realizing that this camera can do a lot of the things I'm reading about in books about DSLRs. So, in summary, this is a great camera for someone who doesn't know much about photography, but wants to advance to higher levels.
(A note: I think mine is an FZ8-K, but I couldn't find it in the list of Panasonic products. Not sure what the difference is...)
want a perfect picture? June 26, 2009
This camera is worth buying for one feature alone: the OIS (optical image stabilization). It has a 12x optical (not "digital") zoom. That means you can stand far away and still snap a very clear photo. If you can hold your hands still enough, that is. With this camera I am able to snap the "stealth" photos I like, not just the ones from four feet away when people pose. You can get really good photos of people just being themselves, unaware they are being photographed. All of the other features are what you would expect for a camera like this, all high quality. The feature that makes this camera worth the money, though, is the OIS.
Simple to use June 10, 2009
I am not a photographer by any means. I was looking for a simple and easy to use digital camera with a telescopic lens at an inexpensive price. I looked and compared cameras all over the internet and in stores. This camera is simply a dream. While it has many different camera settings for absolutely great pictures I just typically leave it in the automatic mode, focus my shot, and let the camera do the rest. Superb pictures but the only thing I do not like is the lens is frozen when you take video. It doesn't zoom in or out. If you purchase a 4 GB card you'll be able to take up to 1000 still photos and an 8GB over 2000 stills before you need to download.
 Loaded With Features, But.... April 2, 2009
What happened to the price? I bought mine about two years ago for a little more than two hundred dollars! Maybe it's the "K" designation following the FZ8. Still, if one's going to buy this camera, it's loaded with great features. The stablization feature works very well and the camera's zoom is breathtaking.
The CONS of this camera include a very inaccurate white setting that makes using it on "auto" risky. Also, despite its zoom capability, I find that wide angle capability is far more useful than telescopic! Most digital cameras have distortion in both wide angle and telephoto, but the Panasonic comes with software that can help correct it.
For $225, this camera would be just about right. For over five hundred, take a hike and find something else!
a wonderful camera March 3, 2009
I have Panasonic DMC-FZ8 for 2 years now. I LOVE it!! It comes with a great battery that could lasted a whole trip. I bought it with me with on two of my trips to China. During each trip, I took around 400 pictures, and afterward it still had a bar of juice in it. Moreover, it has an awesome zoom feature that could be equivalent or better than some of the SLR camera. The image quality during daytime is great. A little grainy at night, other than that it is truly an amazing beast.
