Panasonic introduced the 10.1 Megapixel Panasonic Lumix FZ50 with MEGA O.I.S. (Optical Image Stabilizer) featuring 12x optical zoom (equivalent to 35 mm to 420 mm on a 35 mm film camera) f/2.8 Leica DC lens, as a successor to the DMC-FZ30, which has received high acclaim worldwide. The Panasonic DMC-FZ50 boasts a 10.1 Megapixel high resolution CCD for its image sensor and Venus Engine III for the image processing LSI, making it possible to record a image at max. ISO 1600 high sensitivity setting at full resolution. Photoxels have reviewed the FZ50 and had this to report-
"The Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ50 comes the closest to a DSLR-like experience with its excellent handling, smooth manual zoom ring, well-implemented Front and Rear Dials, and its many customization features.
It has fast performance with 2 sec. startup and no practical shutter lag. The 12x optical zoom lens is superb with no lens extension and an effective optical image stabilization. A large 2.0-in. Free-angle LCD flips out and rotates for comfortable above your head and low-angle shooting.
Image quality is very good to excellent at ISO 100, with low noise and images retaining most of the details. At higher ISOs, images suffer from noise and loss of detail.
If you like full manual control, the FZ50 is a delight to use. Manual Focus is also performed using a ring around the lens barrel with the EVF image enlarged for easy focusing. Frequently used settings can be saved. In auto focus mode, Selectable AF Area makes focusing on off-center subjects easy.
The Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ50 will appeal to advanced amateur photographers desiring a digital camera with superb DSLR-like handling and controls and excellent image quality at ISO 100."
