Although pre-owned, this camera was 'as new' and had obviously been well looked after. Extremely easy to use, picture quality excellent and with an extra add-on of a black leather case, looks "the business". My previous camera, a Fuji, developed a fault after 6 years of casual use and could not be repaired by Fuji as 'the part required is no longer made' - after only 6 years!!! Although they offered a discount if I purchased a new one, I declined and opted for the Lumix instead. A very good buy.
Great little camera. Easy enough to use as a point and shoot camera for a novice but has enough settings to keep a serious photography student happy.
Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: Pre-owned
I have had the camera a few months and have had no problems except trying to learn all of the functions. The manual is a big help. The memory it uses for hd movies didnt fit my memory reader so I had to upgrade that too. But for just pictures it uses my standard memory. Its very light for its size and the photos look pretty dam good.
The first reason I chose this watch was the fact that it was seiko and I liked the overall appearance, added to which it was both kinetic and made in titanium. I feel that the watch is very stylish in appearance, and with the good reputation of seiko, I look forward to many years of reliability
When I wanted a light weight camera for travelling, there was one choice namely the Panasonic FZ28, because it packs a mighty punch, covering 99.9% of all my needs. It has a 28mm wide angle ideal for architecture and views together with a powerful long reach zoom for sport, wildlife and nature photography.In other words one has all the lenses required in a small lightweight package,unobtrusive enough not to bother anyone but able to do a really good job in covering any situations presented. If you don't want to carry an SLR with interchangeable lenses, this will do the job within limitations.It will not let you down, I have used it with confidance covering motorsports, safari, nature walks...ok, not to SLR levels of quality but good enough for me,having 30 years experience as a professional phiotgrapher. True others might be better in some situations but nothing can beat it for value vs performance. I have made 30x40 cms enlargements with ease,when needed but mostly I just use it to have an album of my holidays, I do tend to do a some post production editing to get the best of the Lumix, but that's my choice. If one is upgrading from a compact, then the difference in picture taking, image quality and versatility will be highly evident. If one buys it as his first digital camera..they will be blown away If one has some previous experience, like me and wants a low priced camera with some high end performance to replace heavy, bulky SLR, then it is worth considering. I had previously owned several Fuji Finepix SLR type cameras (9600s, 7000s, 6500s)another Panasonic FZ 20 similar to the FZ28, an Olympus 5080, they all have their pro's and con's, it's boils down to personal choice,mine was to buy this DMC FZ28 and I haven't regretted my choice.Read full review
