Prone to soft, noisy photos; no hot shoe
Other cameras may deliver higher resolution and longer optical zooms, but the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ28 proves that the 'more is better' presumption isn't always valid. With a robust feature set and better-than-average performance, this superzoom beats...
Given the price, the Leica lens, the telephoto reach, the wide angle, and the cameras ability to shoot RAW, the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ28 review is a solid high-zoom point-and-shoot. Danny Palmerlee Lowest online price: ££229.99 ...

18x zoom with optical stabilization, Good quality images up to 400 ISO, 1 cm macro mode, HD video at 1280 x 740 pixels, Practical, useful automatic modes
Electronic noise handling could be better, Casing is rather light; screen too bright, White balance only perfect after manual adjustment, RAW mode too slow, No click wheel access to manual modes
Great ISO performance, Vivid color reproduction, Easy to use shortcut buttons, Great Image Stabilization, 720p video recording, RAW support
Auto-white balance messes up (rarely though), Night mode is unimpressive
