Pros Excellent performance, zoom range, photo quality, ease of use, battery included
Cons Slight noise, slight purple fringing at telephoto
Recommended it? Yes

I have been using Panasonic cameras for quite some time, starting with their original mea-zoom camera the FZ1 with 12x optical zoom, image stabilization and 2-megapixel resolution. The new Panasonic DMC-FZ18 features 18x optical zoom (with optical image stabilization Panasonic is known for),... Read full review »

OVERVIEW

Well, here I go again. I just can't quit buying cameras. Last year I bought the Panasonic TZ3 when it first came out and was hard to get and paid top dollar - same deal this year with the FZ18. I still own the TZ3 - fantastic camera. [I wrote a review for Epinions that was rated... Read full review »

Pros Price, ease, zoom, speed, photo functions, and durability
Cons Heavy and large
Recommended it? Yes

With an upcoming birth of my third child a new camera was necessary. Since I love taking pictures I wore out my old, outdated Kodak EasyShare and was looking for an upgrade that would allow me take pictures at a faster speed. After a lot of research I came across the Panasonic Lumix. This camera is... Read full review »

Great Camera, Amazing Zoom, Fairly Priced

bybritter12345 Feb 16, 2008
7 Helpfuls 8 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Amazing and quick zoom. Clear pictures. Great Battery life.
Cons It can be a little large and heavy for everyday use. Blurs occasionally.
Recommended it? Yes

In getting this camera, I did a lot of research. What it basically came down to was the zooming capabilities. It was a decision between this, the FZ18 and the FZ50 (only 12 zoom but 2 more MPs). I chose the FZ18 and have had no regrets. I find that this is a great camera, it can zoom in to see... Read full review »

The one bad item negates all the good.

Pros Still pictures with audio, large and well-lit LCD.
Cons NO ZOOM IN MOVIE MODE!!!!
Recommended it? No

I regrettably sold my Konica-Minolta Z3 before I bought this camera; it did everything I wanted it to, but I wanted more zoom. Actually my only problem with this Panasonic DMC-FZ18 camera is that there is NO ZOOM IN MOVIE MODE!!!! That is unheard of in today's high tech cameras. I had read on a... Read full review »

Love this camera

bycmb2219 Jan 3, 2008
7 Helpfuls 8 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros -good flash -great zoom -great options -perfect size
Cons -too big to fit in your back pocket -more than a basic camera
Recommended it? Yes

The new fad is to find the smallest camera that there is such as ones that can fit in your backpocket, however the quality of the picture is heavily comprimised. This camera is light, small but not too small and gives an amazing picture. I have owned this camera for 2 years and I have dropped it,... Read full review »

The greatest camera

bybree42 Jul 31, 2008
6 Helpfuls 7 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Optical zoom, image quality, value for money, leica lens
Cons image quality in low light/ISO lot
Recommended it? Yes

After much reading reviews and opinions on the Internet I stay with this camera. Why? First, analyzing photos of some, Panasonic was the best. It just has chromatic aberration and distortion, even at maximum zoom. And the imperfections of the image in any case was the best 90% of the time than the... Read full review »

Pros Super telephoto, very high ISO range, excellent color balance, fast shutter speed.
Cons Camera lacks external flash connection, internal flash is adequate but tends to...
Recommended it? Yes

The Panasonic DMC-FZ18k is an excellent camera. It's the first digital camera I've purchased that does nearly everything I want a camera to do. I love the 18x optical zoom, since I do a lot of sport photos for our school. That telephoto and the anti-shake mechanism combine for some of the best... Read full review »

Pros the zoom
Cons Quality of camera - poor; quality of service, even poorer
Recommended it? No

I purchased my Panasonic DMC-FZ18K camera in May, 2008 and totally loved it, especially the zoom. The only problem I had was the VERY short life of the battery. Then the problems began. Three months after purchasing the camera it stopped working. I called the vendor who told me to call Panasonic. I... Read full review »
