Panasonic DMC-FZ30 Review at CameraLabs
CameraLabs have just reviewed the Panasonic DMC-FZ30. This is an 8 megapixel compact digital camera with a 12x Leica optical zoom lens equivalent to 35-420mm, optical image stabilizer, addition of a manual zoom ring and rotating LCD screen with 235,000 pixels.
“So how does it compare against specific models such as its closest rival, the Fujifilm S9500 / S9000 which costs virtually the same price. In its favour, the FZ30 has a more powerful telephoto, optical stabilisation, better build quality and a screen which flips and twists in every direction. On the other hand the Fujifilm has a wider angle lens and much higher sensitivity. In terms of image quality, our Results page shows each camera taking the lead in certain respects but coming out very similar overall.”
