Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ35

The ultra-high zoom Lumix DMC-FZ35 digital camera features a 27mm wide-angle 18x zoom LEICA DC VARIO ELMARIT lens (27-486mm) that allows you to capture sweeping landscapes or tight spaces at wide-angle, or bring distant subjects up close at the telephoto end in a 12 megapixel package. A new Extra Optical Zoom feature increases the reach to 35.2x at lower resolution. And its new POWER O.I.S. optical image stabiliser greatly improves the camera’s ability to control blur caused by camera shake.
