It's July so it must be time for a new flagship
double-digit FZ camera from Panasonic, a year on from the FZ20 and here
it is, the all new eight megapixel FZ30. Much of what made the FZ20
such a popular camera remains, however there are quite a few changes.
The FZ30 has a new twelve times optical zoom lens which features a
mechanically linked zoom ring, manual focus ring (electronic), full
internal zoom and focus (non-extending) and image stabilization. The
FZ30's CCD is also very slightly larger than that of the FZ20,
approximately 1.75 mm larger diagonally. The FZ30 also now provides a
RAW capture option which promises more flexibility in image processing
for the more advanced photographer.
Similar
in design to the FZ20 the FZ30's lens barrel is shifted over slightly
and the hand grip has been made larger, there are also more controls
available on the camera body. Other changes include a higher resolution
flip-down LCD monitor and control dials front and rear. Full detail of
changes are shown below.
