How to select the right Panasonic point-and-shoot



The FZ series



The most features and advanced modes can be found in the prosumer FZ-series. Styled like dSLRs, these cameras offer full manual control and long zoom range. It is also a highly expandable system considering there are a lot of accessories such as conversion lenses that can be used with it. It is targeted at camera hobbyists who are familiar with digital imaging and want more control over their shots.

In this series


Lumix DMC-FZ28
This shooter has all the functions and controls you'll find on a dSLR, and is probably suitable for users who want a camera that can handle most shooting situations without having to bring all the additional lenses and accessories out. The 18x optical zoom lens covers a range from 27mm to 486mm, more than what most dSLR-compatible lenses can deliver.

Other related model: FZ18
Quick summary
Want dSLR-like controls and features without the bulk and hassle of lugging extra lenses? Well, give the FZ-series of cameras some thought.

From a pretty long Nikon user, I switched to FX-33 wth the iA more than a year ago and absolutely no regrets. Very good for amateur photographers with no so steady hands =)

I didn't know there were external flashes available for the FZ series (I have the FZ18). I thought that was the realm of Canon compacts.

You also mis-labeled the FZ series as "LX Series"
