Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ8 Review

ePhotoZine have reviewed the new Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ8, it features Panasonic's Mega Optical Image Stabilisation and "Intelligent ISO" to avoid image blur. The DMC-FZ8 is a 7 megapixel update to the FZ7, and features a Leica 12x optical zoom lens, a 2.5" screen, Manual controls and RAW mode. The FZ8 is available for £219 in black or silver:

"There's no two ways about it, the standard 3x optical zoom on compact cameras is about as much use as walking three steps closer to the subject. What if you want a decent shot of a football player, a close up of your neighbour sunbathing, or to spot birds flying or animals snouting in the undergrowth? You need a big zoom, something equivalent to at least 200mm. Well here's the Panazonic FZ8 with an equivalent zoom of 432mm!"
