Still catching the blooms here, with these first impression shots on a Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ35, an update to the DMC-FZ28. The Lumix DMC-FZ35, introduced in 2009, has an increased sensor resolution slightly from ten to twelve megapixels while maintaining the Leica DC Vario-Elmarit-branded 18x optical zoom lens with its useful range from a 27mm wide-angle to a 486mm telephoto. The camera also comes with 201,000 pixels in-line Electronic Viewfinder (EV) with dioptre adjustment, and a 2.7-inch 230,000 pixels live view TFT LCD.
The lens's image stabilization system of the FZ35 has also been upgraded to a new POWER O.I.S. system, said to offer double the stabilizing power. In addition, the FZ35 has a multi-area autofocus system with a single-point high-speed focusing mode and face-detection function. Externally, there is now a Record/Playback slider switch to the top-right of the camera back, which, when set to Playback, will flip the display to the LCD screen, regardless if you are shooting with the EV.
The upgrades are convincing me that the FZ35 is not just another pass towards a later version with maybe better functionalities, but a model worth the while to acquire and use. Outwardly the camera is a strong build with a comfortable molded grip, light enough not to strain your hands or shoulder, with a lens that is powerful to pull in the images. The model is easily available on the auction market, and for CCD sensor enthusiasts, this is worth looking at.
