At the press conference of Panasonic in Paris we were able to shoot with the new Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ8 digital Megazoom camera. The Panasonic FZ8 is a camera for the photographer who is into a variety of photographic shooting. Although the camera is easy to handle and incorporates a range of pre-programmed scenes, it is offering a range of photographic settings like P/S/A/M for the more experienced photographer. I took the Panasonic camera with me to Versailles and was able to test the new Intelligent ISO control in combination with the MEGA O.I.S stabilizing system. I have to remind you that the images of the Panasonic Lumix DMC FZ8 are still a pre-production level, not final level!

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ8 Features
The Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ8 is equipped with a 7.2 Megapixel CCD and a Leica DC Vario-Elmarit lens offering a 12x optical zoom (equivalent to 36mm to 432mm on a 35mm film camera) with an aperture of f/2.8 to f3.3. Handy is the ability to extend this zoom to 18x in 3 Megapixel mode, the so-called Extra Optical Zoom function. In combination with the digital zoom the total zoom reaches 72x. The joystick-control on the back of the camera handles the adjustment of the settings very easy.

Panasonic Lumix FZ8 Sample images
The sample images of the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ8 digital camera are made in Paris during the Panasonic global meeting. After the introduction of a complete new Lumix digital camera line-up I was able to shoot a variety of pictures with the Panasonic FZ8 camera. Remarkable features of the camera are light weight, very compact, optical image stabilizer, intelligent ISO control and a range of settings that would make the camera ideal for enthusiastic photographers. Take a look at our image gallery; the images were shot right after the Panasonic Global Press meeting in Paris.

PMA 2009 - The digital SLR camera market is booming. Compared to last year the DSLR camera sales increased with impressive numbers and it seems the digital SLR camera has become a mass consumer product. New entry level D-SLR cameras with 6 Megapixels surprisingly were welcomed very well by the amateur photographer and it seems that within this segment of the digital camera market the resolution range of 6 - 10 Megapixel fulfils the need of the amateur photographer. Without lenses the digital SLR camera would not be complete and it is for that reason we see a huge number of digital SLR lens introductions appear this year. There are multiple camera manufacturers offering their best own brand solution for its DSLR camera, but there are even more specialized lens manufacturers who offer an impressive number of lens solutions too. Keep your eye on the digital SLR lens section of this PMA 2009 report for the latest introductions!
