Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ28 Pro Reviews

DigitalCameraReview‘s review Edit

In many ways, the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ28 is like a perfectly broken-in baseball glove: most users will find that the camera's functions, features, and form conform perfectly to just about any shooting situation, making it easy to trust the Lumix to haul in great images time after time. Solid performance all around – including some noteworthy improvements to the very good FZ18 platform – make this one of the most balanced ultrazooms we've had the pleasure of shooting with this year.

PC Advisor‘s review Edit

Given the price, the Leica lens, the telephoto reach, the wide angle, and the camera's ability to shoot RAW, the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ28 review is a solid high-zoom point-and-shoot.

Camera Labs‘s review Edit

Lumix FZ28 may only represent a minor upgrade over its predecessor, but since that was already one of the best super-zooms around, it places the FZ28 in an even stronger position. Beyond minor irritations with the lens hood, cap and Program line selecting smaller apertures than it needs to, there's really very little to fault it on.

LetsGoDigital‘s review Edit

The Panasonic LUMIX FZ28 is a logical successor to its predecessor. It is a Megazoom camera perfectly updated for this time and age, thanks to the resolution increase, improved algorithms and powerful image processor. If you find a DSLR camera too complicated (large and heavy), or if you simply want a large optical zoom range in the most compact size possible; go for the Panasonic LUMIX DMC-FZ28. The camera performs in the way you expect it to, no more, no less. Simply a superb camera for all-round shooting!

The Imaging Resource‘s review Edit

True to the line, the Panasonic Lumix FZ28 is a good quality digital camera with a long, 18x zoom. Image quality is excellent at wide angle, and only suffers a bit in the corners at telephoto. Most impressive is the Panasonic FZ28's low chromatic aberration at wide angle, as well as the sharp corners, something most long zoom digital cameras cannot achieve.

Steve's Digicams‘s review Edit

As with all of the past "FZ" series models, I was impressed with the Lumix DMC-FZ28. If you are one who is in the market for a powerful super-zoom model or one who is unsure about jumping into the dSLR market, the FZ28 might just be the next digicam for you.

On paper it looks like the FZ28 is only an incremental upgrade on the FZ18, but an objective analysis can’t convey the overall feel of the camera. Despite the obvious similarities, all the little changes add up to a camera that feels a significantly more accomplished and assured than its predecessor.

PhotographyBLOG‘s review Edit

The Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ28 is an incremental upgrade of an already excellent camera, with few design changes and a smattering of internal improvements. Unless you really want to shoot 720p HD movies, there's little to tempt current DMC-FZ18 owners to upgrade, but if you're in the market for an all-in-one, do-everything camera, the DMC-FZ28 should be at the top of your list.

CNET Reviews‘s review Edit

Other cameras may deliver higher resolution and longer optical zooms, but the Panasonic FZ28 proves that the "more is better" presumption isn't always valid.
