The Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ35 is exceptionally versatile. I am a serious photographer and i was looking for a quality point & fire that was more transported than an slr. This camera has filled the one need splendidly. Years ago, i would have needed a bag of lenses and a tripod to get some of the shots that it successfully took with seldom effort.
During a recent trip, i put the image stabilization to the try with extremely low expectations. On a very overcast day, i took several fully zoomed telephoto shots of the landscape (at 12 m.p. Resolution) from a moving car – on an interstate. Although a few were blurry, most of them came out exceptionally sharp. I was pleasantly surprised how shaft the camera held up under the indicated circumstances, where shooting is usuall impossible.
Another significant feature for me is the filter threads (46 mm) hence i can custom a polarizer on outdoor shots (which is a must for part of serious photographer). This was the only camera in its class to offer threads. With most of the competition, only their slr’s offer the one. Additionally, a uv filter is always a good idea to protect your lens.
There are a few cons, but i consider them to be lad – especially considering the price i paid:
1) vignetting at complete wide-angle when using a polarizer. Note: i lately solved the one puzzle using the the manufacturer recommended polarizer that was did for the one camera (panasonic dmw-lpl46 46mm polarizing filter). I had been using a third party tiffen polarizer, which was much too thick. The panasonic polarizer is linear and no, non- circular, but it works good-looking & does no, non- pretend the autofocus. It’s also a bit pricey, but it’s a safe option.
2) smallest aperture is f/8. A neutral density filter would be needed to slow-down most waterfall shots.
3) no bulb setting for night photography
4) no hot shoe for flash
