I thoroughly enjoyed my time with the FZ35. It's compact, easy to use and, with its 18x zoom, a powerful image capture tool.The camera handled flare particularly well, snaring bright, well-coloured and sharp shots. The exposure systems were noticeably acc...
Abstract: The Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ35 ($399.95 list) is a compact camera with a 12.1 megapixel CCD optical sensor and a 27 millimeter wide-angle Leica DC Vario-Elmarit lens with an 18x optical zoom. Looking very similar to the lot of D-SLR-like cameras out ther...
Abstract: Having said that, the Panasonic offers an excellent feature set, and a very good video mode with manual controls and stereo sound. If you can manage with the slightly shorter lens and don't need 1080p or super slow motion video, and image quality and fuzz-free, snappy operation are high up your list of priorities the Panasonic FZ35 is...
The Panasonic Lumix FZ35 is a very practical all-around camera. It's highly portable, if not pocketable, and the combination of a fast wide-angle lens and long zoom makes it a great travel camera, able to capture both scenic vistas and distant subje...
As mentioned earlier, the picture quality isn't perfect, and performance lags on occasion. If you already have experience with digital SLRs, you may find this camera to be a nice backup or casual shooter. For the price, this model is an excellent value...
High dynamic range produces creative shots; great image controls for both stills and video; light and well designed for a megazoom.
No flip-out LCD or optical viewfinder; button layout and controls are cumbersome.
Panasonic's Lumix DMC-FZ35 is quite simply one of the best fixed-lens cameras out there for both stills and HD video. If you can deal with slightly grainy, non-1080p video footage (the FZ35's video resolution maxes out at 720p), it may be the idea...
Abstract: The new DMC-FZ35 is the first wide-angle megazoom camera (18x) offering higher-quality high-def videos. 2009 will go down as the year HD video and digital cameras joined at the hip. Most high-quality digicams take 720p movies, a huge step up from stan...

Useful 27mm wide-angle zoom; excellent image stabilization; full selection of manual and automatic exposure controls; very good 720p movie capture with operational zoom and manual controls; relatively fast.
Noise and compression artifacts in JPEG photos; no hotshoe.
A better-than-average megazoom choice, the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ35 delivers standout video capabilities and an excellent manual feature set. Still, it suffers from a lot of the same drawbacks as its competitors, including weak photo quality. Read full...
