Finding the Right Panasonic Lumix Camera
With advanced stylish, high zoom, creative, stylish, and tough models to choose from, Panasonic has made selecting the right digital camera a bit confusing. These different classes of cameras are not distinct. Several camera models are featured in multiple categories making the choice extra difficult.
If you have ever wanted to take your camera into the water, or ski with it, or go rafting with it, then the tough camera from Panasonic may be a fit. It is a weather proof digital camera that can still capture sharp images with the image stabilization feature. This is a superior offering to the competing Olympus line.
For the point and shoot photographer that also wants some control, the Advanced stylish cameras fit the bill. Smaller generally than the DSLR’s, these also have powerful zooms up to 18x and several shooting modes. They are generally smaller than the more advanced featured cameras like the High Zoom model.s
My personal favorite of Panasonic’s cameras is the High Zoom variety. Here is where cameras such as the DMC FZ35 with an 18x zoom offers Pro-sumer level performance at almost a point and shoot price. This line of cameras offers Leica lenses with optical image stabilization, plus a 27 mm wide angle. Additionally, it offers RAW output modes.
If a person wants a point an shoot camera, then the stylish variety offers the best options. These cameras can go in a pocket, offer zoom levels up to 5x, flash, and even video on some models. Mega O.I.S. or image stabilization is standard as well. Several of these models also offer video capability.
By offering a broad selection of cameras that bring what most photographers want into every category, Panasonic has created a powerful brand influence. Almost any level of photographer, short of studio pro, can find a camera that fits their shooting style. Navigating the Panasonic category’s may actually be harder than using their cameras!
