High ISO images are blurred and lack detail. (due to noise being removed)
Some noise noticable even in ISO100 photos.
The Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ8 is an excellent ultra zoom digital camera - image quality is very good with great colour and detail although noise and lack of detail at the higher ISO settings causes some concern. The camera offers an excellent Leica 12x o...
Abstract: The Panasonic DMC FZ8 is a super zoom camera. It has a 12x optical zoom lens and seven megapixels. With this length of zoom you are likely to find that the built in image stabilisation is a useful feature. Panasonic have included manual exposure and f...
Abstract: Panasonics DMC-FZ7 impressed us enough to give it four stars in our group test of ultra-zoom cameras (Labs, Shopper March 2007), despite being fairly long in the tooth compared with the others on test. Therefore, it was with some excitement that we...
Abstract: With excellent handling and image quality, this is one of the best cameras around. There are plenty of compelling reasons to choose the FZ8, and few reasons to fault it. The cameras in this months group test are great if you want something compact a...

The Panasonic DMC-FZ8 is one of those cameras that looks good on paper and, for the most part, delivers on its promises -- especially on paper, in terms of printed output. Its image stabilized zoom is the Panasonic FZ8s big attraction, but that should...
Good value, large zoom lens, very sharp images, sharp LCD, some manual-control options
Some noisy images, response times could be better, thick camera body
Calling the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ8 a point-and-shoot digital camera probably isnt quite fair. The DMC-FZ8 offers more manual control features than a typical point-and-shoot model, and intermediate photographers will likely find some aspects of this ...
12X optical zoom. Full manual capabilities. Intelligent ISO mode. Variety of flash settings.
Lacks wide-angle view. Nonarticulating LCD.
Although the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ8 offers a powerful 12X optical zoom lens, manual modes, and a wealth of helpful features, its lack of a true wide-angle view prevents it from stripping the older Panasonic Lumix DMC TZ3 of its Editors Choice crown....
Noisy images, minor chromatic aberration, smearing/blotching at higher ISO sensitivities, Technical Specifications, Resolution: 7.2 megapixels (3072 x 2304), Viewfinders: EVF (electronic viewfinder) and 2.5 inch LCD, Lens: f2.8f3.3/672mm Leica DC VarioElmarit allglass (11 elements in 8 Groups with 3 Aspherical elements) optical zoom, Auto Focus: multiple option Contrast Detection, Exposure Modes
