Editors' Comments

Panasonic's FZ28 is a nice extended zoom model, offering a long-range 18x lens. It's also capable of taking 27mm wide-angle shots, for all inclusive photographs. The FZ28 is a great pick for photographers interested in range and breadth. The 720p HD-resolution movie mode is icing on the cake.
