Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ30 reviewed
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. The site gave the camera high marks for image quality, ergonomics, focusing and lens. The reviewer liked the DMC-FZ30's 12x stabilized zoom lens, calling it "the most attractive feature of the camera." While the $600 price tag might drive some potential customers to spend a couple of hundred more on a DSLR, a host of beginner-friendly features (preset modes include "Soft Skin Mode," designed to remove wrinkles, and "Party Mode" for low-light shooting), as well as a solid movie mode, may be enough to keep some high-end customers in the EVF fold.
