Panasonic DMC FZ38

The big attraction of the Panasonic Lumix DMC FZ38 is the 18x optical zoom lens. The lens has wide angle capabilities. This is a 12 megapixel model. With a range of manual exposure controls that allow you to fine tune the way your photographs will look the Lumix DMC FZ38 is most likely to appeal to the serious amateur who sees photography as a hobby.

Another key feature is the ability of the camera to shoot High Definition movies. Sound can be recorded in stereo and the Lumix DMC FZ38 has a Creative Movie mode that gives you the power to adjust the aperture size as well as the shutter speed for movie capture.

Panasonic offer extra zoom on most of their digital cameras. This is where if you shoot at lower resolutions more zoom becomes progressively available. With the Lumix DMC FZ38 a maximum of 35.2x zoom can be used when shooting at 3 megapixels. With this level of zoom at your fingertips image stabilisation becomes increasingly important. This is a feature that Panasonic has built into the camera to help reduce the chance of blurred photos caused by camera shake.

You can also opt to use the Lumix DMC FZ38 in fully automatic mode. The camera is equipped with an intelligent auto mode to help you get the best results in automatic mode.
