Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ30 Details
Editors' Comments
How much more detailed can a photo get? Panasonic wants to show you. As the successor to their FZ20 model, the Panasonic Lumix FZ30 carries the same extended zoom power and image stabilization while enhancing the total resolution of the camera. This camera is for serious users, with a slew of advanced features that will please aficionados but frustrate the uninitiated. If the 12x zoom wasn't enough, the camera can reach 15.3x and 19.1x zooms, provided the photographer can deal with a reduction in megapixels (down to 5 and 3 respectively).
