Good Quality Pics

Sep 29, 2008

Rating: 9 out of 10 (Spectacular)
Pros: iA function works well, easy to use, bracketing function for HDR, loads of options, fast superzoom, Leica lens, RAW format
Cons: Not many but if I were to nitpick; 3-inch lens would be better
Opinion:
I was looking for a camera with really good picture quality as well as lots of manual options. So a compact point-n-shoot was out of the question but neither was i ready to invest in a large and bulky dSLR - I felt i just wasn't hardcore enough to be lugging around all that equipment.

The FZ28 suited my needs extremely well. Though it is big and slightly bulky, it is light and comfortable to hold so isn't much of a bother to carry around.

Picture quality is very good and it didn't take me long to learn how to use the manual functions. I tried making HDR photos with shots taken from this camera and it came out pretty good - but still not quite up there with dSLR, but that's ok. If you can't afford or you're not ready for a dSLR, I believe this camera to be the next best thing.
