Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ18 Reviewed

DPReview has just posted a review of the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ18 digital camera. The camera features a mega 18x optical zoom equivalent to 28-504mm and an 8.3MP sensor. The camera can do ISO as high as ISO 1600 and has an ISO 6400 high sensitivity mode.

The camera also features face detection and a 1cm macro mode. The street price is $360. Pros for the camera include sharp images, huge zoom, effective image stabilization, and fast focus among others.

Cons of the camera include lack of crispness, occasional low ISO artifact, and occasional focus hunting at low ISO. In the end, DPReview says it’s not, a camera recommended for low light usage, but has lots to like about it. The camera received the recommended award.
