Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ8 - Digital Photography Review
Digital Photography Review have reviewed the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ8 compact ultra-zoom camera which features a LEICA DC VARIO-ELMARIT lens with MEGA O.I.S. Optical Image Stabilizer, ISO rating up to 3200, Venus Engine III image processor, and a 2.5-inch LCD diaplay. 'Almost exactly a year after the introduction of the DMC-FZ7, Panasonic's 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, perhaps inevitably, more evolutionary. The body design and operation is almost identical - no bad thing, given the huge improvements made over the FZ5 - and the only really big news is the inclusion of Raw shooting and a much better electronic viewfinder.'
