Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ40 Review

For the full Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ40 review, go to http://www.infosyncworld.com/reviews/... If you're in the market for a do-it-all camera and are not intimidated by size, then the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ40 is one of your suspects. This is a camera that packs in almost anything the average photo hobbyist could think of. It has lots of manual controls, a giant zoom, 720p AVHCD Lite video, and Panasonic's tried and true Intelligent Auto suite. On the downside, the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ40 suffers from Entry-level Image Sensor Syndrome, and the camera's ability to shoot in RAW does not alleviate much of the lackluster image quality symptoms. What's even more discouraging is that the $100-heavier Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ100 has the same size sensor with different processing. This is a classic "all show and no go" scenario, and in this price range, we'd expect much better image quality than this. For the average shooter who plans on cropping and resizing, the FZ40 will be fine, but if you plan on showing your pictures in a gallery, think again.
