Where the FZ8 falls a little short is in image noise and its aggressive noise reduction. But those shortcomings can generally be overcome with lots of light, and sticking to low ISO settings.
imaging-resource Review the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ8 and gave out”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 FZ8’s big attraction, but that shouldn’t overshadow its long list of features that surprisingly cater to both advanced users and less experienced snapshooters. The FZ8’s versatility and sophistication, combined with its ease of use and handling pushes some of the image noise and noise reduction issues to the back burner…….”

The Lumix FZ8 is clearly identifiable as a Panasonic FZ series camera, but as you’ll see in our main review it’s a lot smaller than it looks, and surprisingly light too. As such it’s an ideal superzoom for anyone who desires a powerful optical range, but doesn’t want to lug around a bigger model, nor compromise their grip on a flat-fronted compact.
Cameralabs Review the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ8 and gave out”The Panasonic Lumix FZ8 is one of the best value super-zoom cameras around right now, boasting a range of features comparable to models costing comfortably more. On the plus side you get a good quality 12x optical zoom with stabilisation, composition using either a great-looking 2.5in screen or decent electronic viewfinder, quick and easy control over all settings, and even RAW recording facilities, all in small, light and affordable form factor…..”

The camera has very good image quality - the camera has good detail and very good colour (accurate, and well saturated) and there was no noticable corner softness in the images. Images have good saturation and contrast, with fairly low noise at the lower ISO settings.
Digicamreview Review the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ8 and gave out”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 optical zoom lens with optical image stabilisation, helping you get sharp, crisp, blur free images even in low light. The camera is very solidly built and feels comfortable to use thanks to a decent hand grip and good button layout. The camera has a clear and easy to see screen, and excels in ease of use, providing quick and easy access to all it’s features. The camera responds quickly with a quick focusing time, fast shutter response, and extremely quick 3fps continuous shooting mode. As well as offering all this, the Panasonic is one of the cheapest ultra zoom digital cameras to feature optical image stabilisation, making this an excellent choice!”

Panasonic DMC-LX2 Review By Cameras.co.uk
The Panasonic DMC LX2 is an advanced digital camera. It has many of the features you would expect to find on a digital SLR, but in a compact body.
Cameras.co.uk Reviewed the Panasonic DMC-LX2 and gave out”The Panasonic DMC LX2 has many good points. These include my lowlight test shots, a high quality LCD screen and its style and design. It takes very good photos in most situations, but some people are likely to find the colours too strong from time to time. I would also have liked to see the camera handle sun glare better. “
