Strengths: Image Quality,manual controls,zoom

Weaknesses: burst mode restrictions

Summary: This is my third Panasonic camera(fz7,fz18) I have been very happy with all of them and have had no problems whatsoever out of them! But this FZ35 really takes the cake lots of user friendly features, a very good camera there is really nothing bad I can say about it!

Strengths: This is such a dramatic improvement over the 6mp, 12x version that you can't compare them. I bought this because I have trips planned to South America and Africa and don't want to miss anything.

Weaknesses: Only drawback I see is that the lens hood doesn't reverse onto to lens when it's not being used.

Summary: I ordered this camera from Beach Camera and couldn't have asked for a better price and better, faster service. Promised in 10 days, delivered in three! I've got to practice some more but so far it's all that I need to capture some pretty amazing shots of action, scenery and micro-shots. It's predecessor did great last year in Italy, Turkey and Greece so I expect even greater shots from this baby.

Strengths: The Lumix DMC-FZ35K opens a window on the world. The clarity of subject, fantastic! The ease of use, the owners manual and all accessories, easy to understand. Great Camera!!

Weaknesses: A shame there is no flash shoe, the pop up flash is just okay. Macro could be better, as telephoto. Pictures are really sharp and full of detail. For the price, terrific!

Summary: Being a world traveler, I like to travel light, and the DMC-FZ35K fits that bill. I look forward to the challenge, and the results that Panasonic has given me, using this camera. I publish livinginhd.com Under Albert Gard, if you would like to have a look.
