 Can't beat the pricing for such a great performing camera November 23, 2008
I bought this camera site unseen (other than on the internet) I have been using a Canon G3 for quite some time, and was question not getting another Canon product. The FZ28 is quite a camera. The zoom works great (can't believe I've been shooting with a 3X this long). The stabilizer is very nice, and the auto focus is quick. There are enough menus to fit pretty much any situation, yet manual enough to enjoy experimenting. The only drawback (as noted by other reviewers) is the lack of a swivel LCD display, and hot shoe. I was impressed by the flash though. Has more than enough light for most shots. As far as weight, I thought it was a store demo and they left out the guts of the camera. Very Light !!

this isnt going to be a detailed review, however as a owner of 6 canon powershot cameras including the A640 which I felt was a very good camera, this camera is groovy....yea I am from that era...This camera is lighweight, takes incredible shots, has very fast shutter response, and the Leica lens is fantastic. I particularily like that I can screw a 46mm filter on without adapters, the being able to zoom out further by reducing the megapixels on the fly, and the image stabilization. I have shot over 900 shots in a week and only found 4 bad shots. That is an incredible improvement over my Canons... I was considering the Canon SX10 which my daughter just bought, but I will tell you with side by side comparisons my pictures were truler to color and the clarity was the same.
The only lost was the hot shoe which the Canon has. The Leica lens has better low light capability however. Oh by the way the camera is made in Japan (that is unusual in todays world)Great camera, very happy with it.
The Lumix DMC-FZ28K ROCKS!!! November 23, 2008

I've put off buying a point-n-shoot for the haus frau for one simple reason; I want to be able to enjoy it too! [I'm saving up for a D3] Enter the Lumix FZ28. WHOA! The Leica optics, feature set and ease of use makes this old film dog happy. I'm old school and still haven't given up B&W film yet but the b&w mode along with the instant sepia is way cool. The anti jiggle though makes feel like I've been on a bender but that's okay, it's a way of telling me to quit being lazy and go get the tripod. The viewfinder and it's diopter adjustments are a godsend for these tired old [50ish] eyes. The missus digs the video capture feature too. Low light capacity is first rate too and the optics paired with 10+ megapixels guarantees nice big and sharp blowups.
All in all, I've been singing the praises of this tool to anyone looking for a high quality and highly capable consumer grade digital camera. The only thing I wish I'd bought along with camera is the ND filters but I've already remedied that now. Highly recommended. Selah.
Great camera, Great price November 22, 2008
The camera is very easy to use, takes great pictures with little effort.
Pictures a crisp, flash is excellent, lens is great. 18X zoom in sports mode takes great pictures.
Camera has plenty of features and options.
I highly recommend this camera. If you get it you won't be disappointed.

My wife and I have shot a lot of photos through the years using slr's and quality lenses. Gave my wife a fuji digital camera a few years ago and were hooked. From close-ups of flowers to distant shots of national park scenic wonders, that little camera was awesome. But a couple of drops made it more and more difficult to use. My wife wanted just an updated version of that camera she had come to love. However, I did some consumer research and came upon this Panasonic Lumix and read the reviews. Thought I'd take a chance of upsetting my wife and replace her beloved camera with this product. She loves it (as do I)! It is so much more versatile and allows for more options than come with most slr's. If you just want to point and shoot, it takes great photos. If you want to venture out for more special effects or a particular lighting option, this one will do it. If you want to zoom in while shooting on video mode, this one will do it. The only criticism we have is that some of the controls seem to be too crowded. If it were me, I would have designed that a little differently, but that is a minor issue. The only reason I gave it four stars instead of five is that we have only had it a few weeks and don't want to give a final judgment until we have put it through all the rigors. But from where we sit at this point, if you want versatility and want to lug around just one camera that can take tight wide angle shots, zoom in on wildlife and scenic wonders, experiment with some cool lighting, or just shoot a few seconds of quick video, so far, this camera does it all with pleasing results.
