The Bottom Line A decent but not great camera, the megazoom Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ18 still manages to outdo its few competitors. A decent but not great camera, the megazoom Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ18 still manages to outdo its few competitors. A better-than-average megazoom choice, the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ35 delivers standout video capabilities and an excellent manual feature set. Still, it suffers from a lot of the same drawbacks as its competitors, including weak photo quality. A nice evolution of the megazoom, the Canon PowerShot SX10 IS delivers some improvements over its predecessor and provides an attractive option for megazoom shooters. If you don't mind its extra bulk and narrow lens, the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H20 is an otherwise excellent compact megazoom camera.
