Photography Blog has reviewed a compact camera from Panasonic with an interesting zoom range that starts at 24mm and ends at 600mm. The camera is called Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ48 (in some markets Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ47) and also comes with 12 megapixels and full HD video recording.

Some key features for the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ48 / FZ47:
-12 megapixel image sensor
-24x optical zoom lens (25-600mm)
-3″ LCD screen
-1080p Full HD movie recording
-Power O.I.S anti-shake system
-Intelligent Auto mode

Photography Blog ends up giving the DMC-FZ48 a “Recommended” rating and an overall score of 4 out of 5 possible stars. The Panasonic camera scores highest on ease of use, design and features, a little lower on image quality, while it scores lowest on value for your money. It is a bit surprising that the camera scores so low on image quality as the image sensor only contains 12 megapixels, but the reviewer finds pictures taken at ISO 400 and higher, to be full of noise. Let us hope Panasonic works harder on image quality with the next camera in this series.

Photography Blog ends up giving the DSC-WX7 a “Recommended” rating with an overall score of 4 out of 5 possible stars. The Sony camera scores highest on features where it gets a perfect score, a little lower on value for your money, design and ease of use, while it scores lowest on image quality. This Cyber-shot has some very nice features that one would not think should be in a budget camera, but this camera has them! If only Sony had worked a bit more on image quality and this digital camera would have gotten a better score.

Photography Blog has tested a travel digital camera from Fujifilm called Fujifilm FinePix F500 EXR. This camera has 16 megapixels and an impressive 15x zoom when you look at the compact camera body.

Some key features for the Fujifilm FinePix F500 EXR:
-16 megapixel image sensor
-15x optical zoom lens (24-360mm)
-3″ LCD screen
-Full HD video 1080p with stereo sound
-Image stabilization
-Motion Panorama 360 mode

Photography Blog ends up giving the F500 a “Recommended” rating with an overall score of 4 out of 5 possible stars. The Fujifilm camera scores highest on value for you money, design, features and ease of use, while it scores a bit lower on image quality. It seems like Fujifilm has packed a bit too many megapixels into this compact camera. If they had worked a bit more on the image quality I believe this travel camera could have gotten a top score.
