'From the Editor'
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.
More controversially the new model squeezes even more pixels onto a 1/2.5-inch sensor, and uses the latest Venus III processor, which has had - to put it kindly - a mixed reception from reviewers and users alike. We are assured by Panasonic that the Venus III has been tweaked for the new Lumix generation (based, perhaps, on the less than stellar reviews and comments), and that the noise reduction system and sensor in this camera are delivering significantly better output. So let's find out if Panasonic has got it right with the DMC-FZ8 - and if it really has solved the few (admittedly important) issues we had with its predecessor, starting with a detailed look at what's changed:
Major changes / improvements over FZ7
- 7.38 megapixel sensor
- Venus III processor
- Raw mode (SILKYPIX Developer Studio included)
- Higher resolution screen
- Larger, higher resolution electronic viewfinder
- Manually selectable ISO 800 and 1250
- A handful of new scene modes including an ISO 3200 High Sensitivity option
- SDHC support and 27MB built-in memory
- Minor feature and interface tweaks
