Panasonic Lumix ZS20 – Pocket Camera With 20x Optical Zoom
Posted by Photo-John on February 1, 2012 · 0 Comment
Panasonic has updated their venerable ZS line of pocket superzoom cameras with the new Lumix ZS20. Last year, one of my favorite compact cameras was Panasonic’s wonderful ZS10 pocket superzoom. Panasonic packed so much into the ZS10 – it’s the Swiss Army Knife of point-and-shoot cameras. I took it to Europe last summer and it was the perfect pocket travel camera – able to take pictures [...]

It’s got a 4.6x 28mm wide-angle Leica zoom lens and Panasonic reduced the resolution from 14 to 12-megapixels to improve image quality and it can capture 1920 x 1080 HD video as well as stills.

Hands-On With The Panasonic Lumix GF3
Posted by Photo-John on November 1, 2011 · 0 Comment
The Panasonic Lumix GF3 camera was announced this June and I believe it’s the smallest interchangeable lens camera Panasonic has ever made. Its part of the Micro Four Thirds partnership between Panasonic and Olympus, who both make compact, interchangeable lens Micro Four Thirds cameras. I finally got a chance to see the GF3 in person last week at the PhotoPlus Expo in New York City. And [...]

Panasonic Lumix ZS10 Review
Posted by Photo-John on October 13, 2011 · 0 Comment
The Panasonic Lumix ZS10 is what I call a pocket superzoom camera – it fits in your pocket and it’s got a ton of zoom – a 16x 24-384mm image-stabilized Leica zoom lens, to be exact. That’s a crazy amount of lens reach – especially for a camera that fits in the pocket of your Levis. Because they’re so versatile and easy to carry, pocket superzooms like the ZS10 [...]
Panasonic Lumix FZ150 Superzoom Camera
Posted by Photo-John on September 6, 2011 · 0 Comment
The Panasonic Lumix FZ150 is a compact superzoom camera with a 24x 25-600mm (equiv.) zoom lens. One of the things that makes the 12-megapixel FZ150 interesting is that Panasonic actually lowered the resolution compared to the older, 14-megapixel FZ100. Why would they do that? Simple – lower resolution means better image quality. The FZ150 is also faster adding full HD video at 60 frames-per-second [...]

Wi-Fi Enabled Panasonic Lumix FX90 Digital Camera
Posted by Photo-John on September 2, 2011 · 0 Comment
Last week, Panasonic announced a new point-and-shoot camera with built-in Wi-Fi. The 12-megapixel Panasonic LUMIX DMC-FX90 has a fast 5x f/2.5 24mm wide-angle zoom lens, full HD video and a 3-inch 460k-dot touch screen LCD display. Those features alone add up to a great pocket camera. But of course, what really sets the FX90 apart is its Wi-Fi capabilities.
The FX90 Wi-Fi is very similar to [...]

Posted by Photo-John on September 2, 2011 · 0 Comment
Panasonic made an interesting announcement last week – two new power zoom lenses for their G-Series Micro Four Thirds cameras. I believe these are the first compact system camera lenses with power zoom – usually that’s a point-and-shoot camera feature. The Panasonic LUMIX G X VARIO PZ 45-175mm/F4.0-5.6 ASPH./POWER O.I.S. and the LUMIX G X VARIO PZ 14-42mm/F3.5-5.6 ASPH./ POWER [...]

Posted by Photo-John on January 26, 2011 · 0 Comment

Conspicuously absent from the list of new cameras was a new Lumix ZS model from Panasonic, the company that invented the pocket superzoom. However, Panasonic has just announced two new pocket superzooms – the [...]
