General Comments
I'm very happy with my purchase of my Panasonic DMC-FZ18 Digital Camera!
Very useful 28MM Wide Angle is paired with an excellent 18X (23.5X at 3MP) Optical Zoom and Panasonic's well done Image Stabilization system.
Light weight yet feels like a high quality camera - easy to wear around my neck for hours at a time.
Pop-Up Flash for good illumination of subjects for nice indoor pics; average low-light sensitivity is fine for most outdoor pics under 400 ISO; only OK to poor for anything over.
Well-priced for all that it offers the buyer wanting a Digital Camera that can do more than your basic point & shoot, but not yet ready for a full Pro Digital Camera (at 2X to 3X or more in price!)
Highly Recommended!
