Personal Evaluation of Panasonic DMC-FZ10
Hi All:
I recently replaced my trusty Olympus C-720 with an FZ10. What an improvement! The FZ10 is a truly fabulous camera. But no camera is perfect, and I do think the FZ10 has a couple of quite serious problems. The older C-720 actually does better in a number of respects. I created a web page that discusses all this in detail. If you're interested, it's at: http://www.seanet.com/~pgm/panasonic.htm Your feedback is encouraged. Pete |

Pete, How did you get that hummingbird to pose for two identical shots with the two different cameras? I can seldom get even one shot of a hummingbird! Nice review and valuable to anyone considering the Panasonic. Would be nice to see how it compares to the Canon S1 IS (also has IS). Phil Phil |

Phil: As the "small print" reveals, they're actually photos of a printed hummingbird calendar. You're right that I'd never get 2 shots the same with real birds! The solution I've found to getting single good shots of HBs is to hang a feeder that has a perching rail around the perimeter. This encourages them to sit still while feeding. Take your pics from about a foot from the feeder. They are fearless! I posted an example from my Oly C-720 at www.seanet.com/~pgm/jsw_p6060680.jpg Pete |

It's not a perfect camera, and I'm not a big fan of the EVF or indoor autofocus, but it's a very capable and flexible little package and I don't regret buying it... I just regret I don't have the camera that will arrive two generations down the line yet :-) Andrew McP |
