The Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ8 has been reviewed by Unbeatable and lets see what they have to say about the camera. The FZ8 is liked for its fast operation, its 12x optical zoom, its effective image stabilization, its image quality and its battery life. The only thing that bothered the reviewer was image noise which was visible from ISO 200.

The DMC-FZ8 has a 7.2-megapixel resolution and boasts of a powerful 12x optical zoom lens (equivalent to 36-432mm on a 35mm film camera) with f/2.8 brightness with Panasonic's Extra Optical Zoom function that provides additional magnification up to 18x when taking photos with 3-megapixel resolution.

In the end the website writes "In comparison to its predecessor, the Panasonic Lumix FZ8 is a very welcome upgrade with some great features for a very competitive price. Along with fast operation, great battery life and the bonus of a very effective image stabilization, the FZ8 should be very seriously considered."
