The 7.2-megapixel Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ8 is an update to the companys FZ7, a former Editors Choice winner in the budget superzoom category. The camera retains the FZ7s 12X optical zoom lens and 2.5-inch LCD, and adds a unique feature, an Intellige...

12X optical zoom. Full manual capabilities. Intelligent ISO mode. Variety of flash settings.
Lacks wide-angle view. Nonarticulating LCD.
Although the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ8 offers a powerful 12X optical zoom lens, manual modes, and a wealth of helpful features, its lack of a true wide-angle view prevents it from stripping the older Panasonic Lumix DMC TZ3 of its Editors Choice crown...

Serious photographers are a demanding lot, but camera manufacturers absolutely love them (because they buy a lot of digital cameras). A near perfect example of this corporate affection is the new ; an imaging tool that caters specifically (with a co...

I really liked the the super compact and lightweight FZ8. This snappy little digicam provides an SLR-like level of photographic control and creative flexibility, but without the bulky bag of lenses that would be needed to cover the same (36mm – 432mm)...

Panasonic had their hands full trying to improve upon the DMC-FZ7, but they may have done it with the Lumix DMC-FZ8. This camera was released in March of 2007, and on the surface it looks really good. Keep reading to see what we think of it.Introductio...

introduction The Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ8 is a 7.2 Megapixel super-zoom camera with a 12x stabilised lens. Announced in January 2007, it’s the successor to Panasonic’s earlier Lumix FZ7. The FZ8 represents a subtle upgrade over its predecessor...

12x optical zoom with OIS, Decent quality 2.5in screen, Quick access to settings, Good manual control and RAW mode.
Noise becomes a problem above 200 ISO, Wide angle coverage only 36mm, No flip-out screen, May be too small and light for some.
It’s revealing three-quarters of the cameras we’ve compared the FZ8 against here all cost around 50% more. The simple fact is there’s no real competition for the FZ8 at its price range other than Panasonic’s own Lumix TZ3, which as...

Panasonic set the tone for the Panasonic Lumix DMC FZ8 when it won an international DIWA Gold Award for its predecessor. The results from our practical test soon showed that the Panasonic FZ8 is a worthy successor. Although there is still room for impr...

If you're looking for a high-end superzoom camera with image stabilisation, you don't have to look very far. Basically your choices are the Kodak EasyShare Z712 (£262), the Canon PowerShot S3 IS (£277), the disappointing Nikon CoolPix S10 (£269), the Olym...

The body shape is unchanged, and the FZ8 continues the small SLR look of its predecessors, with a little rubber-clad grip that offers a good hold on the camera. The 2-stage, chromed Shutter Release is perched above the grip, and has the zoom control le...

Almost exactly a year after the introduction of the DMC-FZ7, Panasonics popular compact super-zoom camera, comes its replacement; the Lumix DMC-FZ8. Where the FZ7 was a fairly major upgrade to the camera that came before it (the FZ5), the FZ8 is, per...

Some areas of performance actually worse than predecessor, Noise is, as usual, a bit of a problem at lower ISO settings, ISO 400+ noise reduction produces color bleeding and loss of low contrast detail, Default noise reduction too high at all ISO settings...
Maybe because my expectations have been lowered, maybe because no one else is doing it any better, I ended up liking the FZ8 more than I expected to. The FZ7 was a significant upgrade to the FZ5 (one of the most popular super zoom models ever), and th...
