Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ18S 8.1MP Digital Camera with 18x Wide Angle MEGA Optical Image Stabilized Zoom (Silver)
Customer Review: Best in RAW mode
Summary: 5 Stars
I just bought the camera 2 months ago. I really love it! It took me some time to explore the buttons and its functions. But when I got used to it, the images and print outs keep on amazing me.
I particularly like the RAW images because I am able to develop it in its best appearance before I would save it in JPEG format or print it. The program that comes with it is very smart, it processes the images without compromising the quality. I feel like a pro when I looked at the images.
I chose this camera over the canon S5is, fujifilm s8100 and sony h50 since the price is cheaper (I bought it at $279) and it can take shots in JPEG+RAW format. Believe me you wouldn't want to shoot in JPEG anymore once you've tried the RAW.
However when I looked at its current price it's over a $100 more expensive than when I bought it. But looking back, I would not hesitate to buy this camera even at it's current price. It feels like DSLR!

Description of Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ18S 8.1MP Digital Camera with 18x Wide Angle MEGA Optical Image Stabilized Zoom (Silver)
The DMC-FZ18 Lumix 8.1-Megapixel Digital Camera can take photos from vast landscapes to super telephoto shots thanks to its 18x optical 28mm Wide-Angle Leica Zoom Lens. For macro shots, the wide-angle setting lets you shoot all the way down to one centimeter from your subject, while the telephoto setting can be used up to one meter (3.28 feet). Combined with Mega O.I.S. Optical Image Stabilization, the DMC-FZ18 can detect even the tiniest camera movement and automatically adjust the lens to compensate for any handshake. Intelligent ISO suppresses motion blur as you shoot, to capture crisp, clear images, making it easier to shoot scenes with fast moving action. The Face Detection function can automatically detect up to 15 faces in a scene and re-adjust the settings if their positions change. The Intelligent Scene Selector will sense the ambient conditions and automatically select either the Scenery, Portrait, Macro, Night Portrait or Night Scenery mode accordingly, getting beautiful results every time you shoot, no matter what the scene or subject.
