Abstract: Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ28 black Digital Camera is an upgraded version of the Panasonic Lumix DMC- FZ 18 which had a disappointing battery life and could not zoom in video mode. Panasonic has taken care to see that these flaws are properly taken care of...
Useful 27mm wide-angle zoom; excellent image stabilization; full selection of manual and automatic exposure controls; 720p movie capture with operational zoom; relatively fast.
Prone to soft, noisy photos; no hotshoe.
Other cameras may deliver higher resolution and longer optical zooms, but the Panasonic FZ28 proves that the "more is better" presumption isnt always valid.

Massive 18x range with 27mm wide angle, RAW recording and correction of fringing, HD movie recording in the 720p format, Compact light body with full manual control.
Fixed screen and smaller EVF than before, No flash hotshoe, Tendency to use small apertures in automatic, Lens cap blocks barrel upon power-up.
As we said at the top, the Lumix FZ28 may only represent a minor upgrade over its predecessor, but since that was already one of the best super-zooms around, it places the FZ28 in an even stronger position. Beyond minor irritations with the lens hood,...
Wide range of options offer something for everyone, Sharp, vibrant images, Cleaner highsensitivity shooting than the FZ18, Excellent incamera JPEG processing options, Strong battery life numbers, Extremely solid flash unit,
HD video looks better than it sounds, White balance performance always a bit off, ISO 1600 still noisy, Some AF weirdness,
