Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ28

It's not only compact cameras that are embracing the wide-angle views this fall; even the megazooms are getting in the game. Panasonic's replacement for its Lumix DMC-FZ18, the FZ28, maintains its 18x zoom range, but backs off on the telephoto to provide a slightly wider 27mm entry focal length compared with 28mm previously.

Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX3

(Credit: Panasonic)

One of the main complaints with the Lumix DMC-LX2, Panasonic's enthusiast pocket camera, was the high noise level of its 10-megapixel sensor. So we're heartened that for its replacement, the LX3, Panasonic decided to stick with 10 megapixels and work on improving the noise profile instead.

According to the company, the new sensor has larger photodiodes, which boosts sensitivity by almost 40 percent--maximum ISO jumps a stop to ISO 3,200 from ISO 1,600--and the sensor has increased saturation by 35 percent. In conjunction with moving to the latest version of its Venus Engine imaging processor, which Panasonic claims provides better noise reduction, we should theoretically see better photo quality from the LX3. It should offer better performance as well: burst shooting, at least, has been bumped up from a rating of 2fps to 2.5fps.

If you are a regular visitor to tracyandmatt you'll know that we've reviewed several Panasonic Lumix cameras in the past. This Limix DMC-TZ4, is one of a new breed of digital compact cameras hitting the market with a massive 10x optical zoom (28 - 280mm). There is something of a compromise associated with the excepional zoom though, the TZ4 isn't the most compact of compact cameras and is also a little heavy. I'd say it's on the limit of what I would be prepared to put in my packet versus put

This is a remarkable lens in a remarkable camera.First, all other superzooms are scaled down SLR designs, which are just too bulky to slide into your pocket. The Panasonic TZ4 isn't.It's fatter than the average digital compact, true, but it's still slim enough to fit in a pocket. It's a genuine go-anywhere just-in-case camera.
