hello there!

i have been having a slight confusion on what camera I should buy.

I was first interested in the FZ18 until i realised that there was the FZ28 and I have now found out that there is the FZ50.

I know that the FZ50 is an older model, but I'm still trying to find out which one you would reccommend on like an all-around basis. thankyou! comments back would be much appreciated!

:)

Hi, feel free to post in the Panasonic section of the cameralabs . com forums!

what is the best superzoom camera with focusring and with a price under olympus e-510? don`t know what to by superzoom or e-510. I have a olympus sp-510uz, not a real good superzoom.

Hi, DSLRs and superzooms are quite different types of cameras - see the 'Should I buy a DSLR or a compact' article in the Features section at cameralabs . com.

nikon d40 or fz50??? (slr vs. super zoom...)

[cameralabs]

Depends what you're looking for in a camera. We have an article which will help you choose between a DSLR and a superzoom in the Features section at cameralabs . com.

My FZ50 is now 2 years old and its fantastic in every way! As well as very high quality general photography I am increasingly using my camera for medical and research purposes. Pictures enlarged to fill large screens in lecture halls have amazing quality. Forget SLR's, get one of these!

FZ50 has a bigger sensor than the fz100

Anyone who knows how to update software of DMC - FX50?I found some software but instructions for puting it to the photo doesn't work to me.

Hi, I have been using FZ50 for like 2 years, and now I'm thinking about switching to FZ100. One of the biggest cons is the image quality, which I didn't like on my FZ50 and I think I'll hate it on FZ100. On the other hand, I love HD and highspeed videos that FZ100 can offer. FZ50 also has the manual focus and zoom rings, which are really nice.

What do you suggest, should I go for it or wait for the next model or try something else with a similar price and features?

Thank you
