Images lack biting crispness, some loss of fine detail to noise reduction even at ISO 100, Default noise reduction too high at all ISO settings (use low NR setting or raw), Occasional odd artefacts at lower ISO settings (some moiré related, some just plai...
One thing that has become obvious to us as weve looked at the various 18x super zoom models that have appeared since the Olympus SP-550UZ burst onto the scene at the start of the year is that they will always involve a certain degree of compromise,...

Abstract: Panasonic Lumix This is an 8 megapixel, all-in-one camera with a Leica zoom lens that has a range of 28-504mm. The lens is image-stabilised and fast, f2.8-4.5. It works as a point-and-shoot with face-detection and there is a full range of user co...
The lens is superb. It has true wide angle and a phenomenal telephoto reach of 504mm (film equivalent). The image stabilisation is effective and hand held photos at full extension are possible. Sharpness and contrast are exemplary and focus, even at fu...
