  • Simple design with good controls Lightweight Good grip 18x optical zoom Extremely low optical distortion RAW mode White balance can be fine-tuned Selectable AF points Live histogram Ability to limit maximum ISO Broad diopter control Lens is well-recessed...
  • Noise and noise suppression visible even at low ISO High ISO image noise and noise reduction degrades image quality Significant chromatic aberration at telephoto Digital zoom is soft Moderate barrel distortion at wide angle Greens are undersaturated Defau...
  • With Panasonics no-nonsense approach to long zoom digital camera design, the Panasonic Lumix FZ18 shines most for its excellent 18x zoom lens. If the sensor were better, the Panasonic FZ18 would be our top pick overall in long zoom digicams. As it is, the...

  • Wide-angle, long zoom lens; nice set of shooting features.
  • Cameras JPEG processing choices can produce suboptimal results; no zoom in movie capture; sluggish LCD/EVF update.
  • A decent but not great camera, the megazoom Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ18 still manages to outdo its few competitors.

  • 18x optical zoom, optical image-stabilization, full manual-mode, RAW support
  • terrible noise distortion, middling image-quality for its price, narrow aperture range
  • Both point-and-shooters and low-end prosumers have far better choices on the market than the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ18, given how oversized its body is and how badly it handles noise. However, considering its impressive zoom-range, optical image-stabi...

  • Range of features, Design, Image quality at low ISO
  • Plasticky build, Noise throughout range, Highlight control
  • Panasonic has really outdone itself with the FZ18. It’s not without its flaws, but all the features you need and a good standard of images make it one of the best current bridge options on the market.

  • Good, sharp results in optimal shooting conditions, Good, natural color and excellent exposure, Hugely versatile 18x zoom range covering true wideangle to long telephoto, Smooth, almost stepless 2-speed zoom, Effective image stabilization, Good build qual...
  • Images lack biting crispness, some loss of fine detail to noise reduction even at ISO 100, Default noise reduction too high at all ISO settings (use low NR setting or raw), Occasional odd artefacts at lower ISO settings (some moiré related, some just plai...
  • One thing that has become obvious to us as weve looked at the various 18x super zoom models that have appeared since the Olympus SP-550UZ burst onto the scene at the start of the year is that they will always involve a certain degree of compromise,...

  • Manual controls Great videos Wide, long 18x lens Accurate colors Great resolution Effective face detection
  • 207k LCD resolution Optical zoom nonfunctional in movie mode Poor audio Ugly noise apparent above ISO 200 Inconsistent AF in low light
  • The Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ18 is much improved from the FZ8. It has more resolution, a longer and wider 18x optical zoom lens, and adds features like face detection. The Panasonic FZ18 outperforms its predecessor in almost every way. Its pictures have m...
