CameraLabs have reviewed the Panasonic DMC-FZ18 digital camera, which features a 18x optical zoom lens, equivalent to 28-504mm on a 35mm film camera.

“We’d love to say the new 8 Megapixel sensor and image processing have also solved the noise issues of its predecessor, but sadly pixel peepers should prepare for a disappointment. If you examine images at 100% on your computer screen, you’ll see tell-tale texturing from noise at all sensitivities including 100 ISO. This inevitably gets worse as the sensitivity is increased, although we found shots taken at 400 ISO still looked fine on smaller prints and even 800 ISO samples contained a reasonable amount of detail.”
