Steve's Conclusion The latest addition to the Panasonic
This is the newest generation of Panasonic's highly-regarded line-up of mega zoom cameras, featuring an 8-megapixel resolution and a 12x Leica optical zoom.

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ30K
Panasonic's 'FZ' series of 12x zoom cameras divides into 'single digital' models that are simpler, lighter and more automated and 'double digit' models for enthusiasts. The 8-megapixel DMC-FZ30 is the eighth since the release of the DMC-FZ1 in late 2002, making the company something of a long-zoom camera specialist. The new model has plenty to attract enthusiast photographers.
Panasonic Lumix DMC FZ30 8 to 10 Megapixel user reviews : 4.1 out of 5 - 10 reviews - photographyreview.com
The FZ30 is a joy to take pictures with. If not for the price tag, and the image noise problem, this would be one of our favourites. As it stands, it is a solid entry by Panasonic, and will satisfy most users.
This is the newest generation of Panasonic's highly-regarded line-up of mega zoom cameras, featuring an 8-megapixel resolution and a 12x Leica optical zoom.
Announced almost exactly a year after the launch of the FZ20 (the model it replaces), the DMC-FZ30 (launched in July 2005) is the latest flagship model in an ever-growing range of 'super zoom' cameras from electronics giant Panasonic. Like its predecessors the FZ20 sports a Leica-branded DC Vario-Elmarit zoom with a whopping 12x optical range (35-420mm equiv), though this time without the constant F2.8 aperture. It also boasts Panasonic's tried and tested Mega Optical Image Stabilization system and the Venus II engine.
It may borrow its looks from a DSLR and its lens from Leica, but Panasonic's 8 megapixel Lumix DMC-FZ30 is a prosumer EVF (electronic viewfinder), and that's fine with Megapixel.net.
