Product Description
The DMC-FZ18 Lumix 8.1-Megapixel Digital Camera can take photos from vast landscapes to super telephoto shots thanks to its 18x optical 28mm Wide-Angle Leica Zoom Lens. For macro shots, the wide-angle setting lets you shoot all the way down to one centimeter from your subject, while the telephoto setting can be used up to one meter (3.28 feet). Combined with Mega O.I.S. Optical Image Stabilization, the DMC-FZ18 can detect even the tiniest camera movement and automatically adjust the lens to compensate for any handshake. Intelligent ISO suppresses motion blur as you shoot, to capture crisp, clear images, making it easier to shoot scenes with fast moving action. The Face Detection function can automatically detect up to 15 faces in a scene and re-adjust the settings if their positions change. The Intelligent Scene Selector will sense the ambient conditions and automatically select either the Scenery, Portrait, Macro, Night Portrait or Night Scenery mode accordingly, getting beautiful results every time you shoot, no matter what the scene or subject. White Balance - Auto / Daylight / Cloudy / Shade / Halogen / White Set Program AE Shutter Speed - 1-1/2000 seconds Self Timer - 2 seconds / 10 seconds Burst Shooting Mode - Full-Resolution Image, 3 frames/sec Max. 7 images (Standard Mode), Max 4 images (Fine Mode) Built-in Flash Mode - Auto, Auto/Red-eye Reduction, Forced On, Forced On/Red-eye Reduction, Slow Sync/Red-eye Reduction and Forced Off Viewfinder - 0.44 diagonal Color EVF (188k pixels) Power Supply - Lithium-ion Battery Pack (7.2V, 710 mAh), Up to 400 pictures Dimensions - Height 2.96'' x Width 4.63'' x Depth 3.47'' Weight - 0.79 pounds

Amazon selling brand new DMC FZ28 for $394.19 ! August 22, 2008
GET REAL (USA)
I own the DMC FZ18 and it is a great camera, BUT why buy it for more money (sales tax/S&H) from "Blue Proton" when you get the BRAND NEW RELEASE of the DMC FZ28, directly from AMOZON, which has new great features?

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ18S 8.1MP Digital Camera with 18x Wide Angle MEGA Optical Image Stabilized Zoom (Silver)Works great. Software supplied is adequate, Gimp or Photoshop makes a much better companion. Photos are a great improvement over my previous digital camera and it is able to accept lens attachments that were not available for my previous equipment. Thanks again for great service and quality in the merchandise.
Great camera, love the zoom and the pictures but... August 8, 2008

This camera takes amazing quality photos. A great value. Only thing I would do differently is purchase a 48 mm clear uv lens which will screw into the existing lens and give you protection from scratches. The stock lens cover will fit on top. When I purchased this camera, I also purchased thePanasonic Lumix DMC-FZ18K & DMC-FZ18S Digital Camera HD Professional Digital Accessory Kit and it is way too complicated and bulky. All the lenses and stuff do not fit in the bag.

This is my first digital camera but I had years of experience with Nikon and Pentax SLRs. This camera is literally amazing - in automatic mode it is so good it discourages you from trying manual. Low light, rainy day, it does not matter - the pix come out sharp and clean with excellent color balance. I have taken fireworks at night without a flash in auto mode by sticking my hand out an apartment window (no tripod), and they all came out sharp - try that in manual or with an SLR. That experience also proves the value of the automatic "anti-shake" feature - it works. The guide on the screen is intuitive and (after some reading on what the symbols mean, because there are a lot of options), it is easy enough to manipulate. The tiny little joystiock control is a bit frustrating if you have large fingers, but a bit of practice and it will get easier. I am sold on Panasonic also for the user-friendly way they think through the product design - Canon designers, by contrast, seem to be evil trolls intent on torturing humans. I bought an 8K card to go with it - over 2,000 shots in jpeg mode! Worth the considerable bucks if you are not going to clean the thing up regularly or are on a long trip and wish to shoot a lot. In short, it is difficult to take a bad picture. For the price, I think it is the best on the market (or was - the K may be even better). Go Panasonic! Now, if I could only figure out how to use Adobe PhotoShop......

My family and I recently took a cruise to Alaska up the Inside Channel. The pictures we took were awesome, and the ease with which the camera did most of the work was incredible!
