AMAZING!!! November 17, 2009 Lindsay (Nevada) 3 out of 3 found this review helpful
After searching and searching for a new point & shoot, I had it narrowed down to this camera and a Nikon P90. Since this had better reviews, and appeared to have more of the features I was looking for, I went with the Lumix. I never expected it to be THIS good! Not only is it the perfect size (bigger than a traditional digital camera, but not too heavy and bulky) but it's actually pretty easy to use. I still have alot to learn, and it's going to take some time to read through the whole manual, but I pretty much have the basics down. And the best thing of all--it takes AWESOME pictures--very sharp and clear. I took some pictures of the kids playing outside, and they look near professional! The battery seems to last a long time too (and I'm very glad they sent a charger). There is nothing that I DON'T like about this camera, it's like it was made for me. If you are not ready for a DSLR, but want a step up from your old point & shoot, then this is what you're looking for-- don't hesitate!! Definitely worth the $300 price tag.
Great deal November 16, 2009 Robert L. Tharp 1 out of 2 found this review helpful
Great camera, great price and great delivery. Ordered a different camera from a different dealer, after 6 days I was told it was out of stock. I am so glad it was, I ordered the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ35 and could not be happier.
Excellent high zoom digital compromise between point and shoot and SLR November 15, 2009 PGMS (NJ USA) 3 out of 3 found this review helpful
I have always had an issue with point-and-shoot cameras after spending years using excellent SLRs from Canon and Pentax. The picture quality was always superior, and unlike digital point and shoots, they didn't break just by looking at them. Although I cannot vouch for how long this camera will last, it seems to be pretty well built. No unwanted vibrations and it is solid and pretty small. I had to find something that did more than the $100-$200 shirt pocket type cameras, but something that my wife might still be willing to take with her to take pictures at a party or one of my kids sporting events or concerts. This camera definitely fits the bill. Although the 18X zoom is not as powerful as some of the others on the market, you can stretch it to 35X if you use only three megapixels. You'll still get a good picture for online or a 4x6 print with that. The camera also takes excellent HD videos with decent stereo sound. Its excellent autofocus tracking also helps keeping on your subject when taking video or burst shooting. The lag is pretty small too, so you don't have to guess where somebody is going to be when the shutter finally releases.
If there is an issue with the camera, it is that there is no printed manual, and the manual could certainly be more informative. For example, nowhere does it state that you won't be able to take HD video using the in-camera memory (you can actually get about a 1-minute low-resolution video in its 50mb. Also, there are so many different functions, that a good manual would be very helpful, even for us guys who don't like taking directions or reading a manual.
Some of the outstanding features include: AF tracking and focus lock, which allows the camera to track a particular subject. Multiple scene modes have the program adjust for different conditions (back lighting, movement, candle light, bright sun etc). This is where a better manual would come in very handy. The camera can produce JPEG, raw or JPEG and raw files, so you can edit away if you like. Its red eye reduction is decent, but there is no in-camera red eye editing.
Be aware that the HD movies can be created in two file types. JPEG is what most of the world uses, while the AVCHd allows longer movies, it is much harder to work with for editing and many programs cannot use it.
Overall, this camera fits the bill. It is less expensive than many of its competitors, performs better, and matches or exceeds all in features and picture quality. Just get us a manual for our $320!
Panasonic Lumix DMC FZ-35 November 14, 2009 R. Wagner 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I did extensive review looking for a lightweight camera to take on day trips where I would have to carry the camera on my old body all day long. I wanted a long zoom and good pictures. I am not a professional but have always used a good Canon SLR. My current Canon is a 5D with some good glass and so I am used to being able to take acceptable pictures. However, I do go to tennis matches where it is necessary for me to carry the camera for 8 to 10 hours and it becomes heavy. The FZ-35 is much easier to carry all day but I will have to sacrifice quality. I have seen very good photographs taken with the Panny and have been taking pictures to learn how to get the best quality for my purposes.
The camera is easy to use, I haven't tried the video yet but have been pretty well satisfied with the first pictures I'm getting, but know I will do better as I become more familiar with it.
The stabilizer works great, I have taken handheld picture at 18x and 72x and the pictures are clear. Keep in mind this camera is not a professional camera and will not withstand the kind of rigorous testing that a pro would demand, but it is good for a second camera that is quick and gives pictures that are acceptable to me.
A Great Camera! November 11, 2009 R. Hermann (Northern California) 5 out of 5 found this review helpful
I love this camera! It is my sixth digital camera (not counting camera phones) and is clearly the most advanced, sophisticated, best-photo-taking camera I have used. Most of the time, I don't even take it out of automatic mode, as I like the results so much.
I have owned a couple of cameras by Canon (very good, compact size); and a few from Olympus (from one of their first basic ones to the Ultra-Zoom 765); and also another Panasonic, the DMC-FZ8.
You can read all the technical details elsewhere. I'll just tell you what a dream it is to use. The viewfinder, which I find essential, is great; the large LCD is even better (although I use it only for viewing shots, not composing them). Ease of use is exceptional, despite the myriad of options. Most are very intuitive and work as expected.
Although it uses a dedicated battery pack, they are easy to find, not too expensive, and last for many shots and viewings.
The Leica lens is wonderful, providing rich, clear color and balance. It's rated at 18X, which gets noticeably closer than my 10X Olympus, but also zooms out to a 27mm equivalent wide angle, which is handy.
You can shoot at the full 12 MP resolution, or save some disk space and shoot at 5 MP. It also shoots HD movies at 720P and boasts stereo mics for sound.
I really don't have any complaints about this camera at all. I will confess to not having used all its advanced features yet, and I don't have an HD TV to play back the video, but I'm pretty impressed with everything that this camera can do, especially for the price, which was under $330 through Amazon when I bought it in October 2009.
If you want more that a simple point-and-shoot, but don't want to get into the expense and complexity of a Digital SLR, then this is a great choice. I highly recommend it!
