Panasonic Lumix FZ8 Details

Editors' Comments

The Panasonic Lumix FZ8 offers a powerful 12x optical zoom lens in a highly portable and comfortable body. The FZ8 allows for a level of photography that approaches professional-level SLRs without requiring users to fuss with extra lenses and enormous price tags. In short, the FZ8 is great for creative and casual users alike. Panasonic's MEGA Optical Image Stabilization keeps things steady in those long zooms, and the camera also claims to have a shutter lag of only five thousandths of a second.
