Panasonic FZ40 Review

Are you in the market seeking a travel camera? Why do not you consider the super zoom compact digital camera such as the Panasonic Lumix DMC-Fz40? Many people at this time are attracted to this model, and in this article you can find a bunch reasons why.

24x Zoom (35mm camera equivalent: 25-600mm)

DMC-FZ40 is budget super zoom digital camera because it brings several features such as a LEICA DC VARIO_ELMARIT 24x optical zoom lens which provides a 25mm wide minimum focal length. Lumix DMC-FZ40 is formed based on versatility and depth of the FZ-Series, thus the camera presents stunning and improved creative hybrid camera capabilities and features to photographers, this functions should give them enlarged flexibility and a huge number of features. Panasonic's consumers will obtain various user-friendly features in super-compact point-and-shoots camera that sure with added 24x optical zoom and better manual controls

Tele Conversion Lens

The main factors why I like the Panazonic FZ series of cameras is that I can find much closer to the action using a tele converter lens. The Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ40 digital camera is compatible with their DMW-LT55 1.7x teleconverter lens that will give you zooming ability equal to an epic 1020mm (35mm camera equivalent). You will need a Lens Adaptor (DMW-LA5) to add the telephoto conversion lens to the camera.

32x Intelligent Zoom

Another attractive feature is that thanks to the new Intelligent Resolution technology on the Panasonic DMC-FZ40 that extends the zoom ratio by around 1.3x but maintains the photo quality although it is using the digital zoom. This means the 24x optical can now virtually and practically extend to 32x!

Additionaly, the "Extra Optical Zoom" function further extends the camera's zoom power to a massive 50.6x by using the center part of the large MOS sensor to get subjects even closer. This setting unfortunately reduces the resolution to 3 megapixels (3MP), which could be useful for identification purposes.

25mm Ultra Wide-Angle

The 14.1-megapixel Lumix DMC-FZ40 has a 25mm wide-angle 24x optical zoom f/2.8-5.2 lens with about twice the capturing area of a conventional 35mm lens. This provides you fantastic scope and scale for innovative composition. You could engage the powerful 24x optical zoom to amazing effect in both in stills and movies. The additional optical zoom uses the centre part of the CCD to enlarge this 24x zoom ratio to an impressive 50.6x zoom at a resolution of 3-megapixel or less in stills.

Sonic Speed Auto Focus

An important feature in any digital camera, but especially one where your subjects don't always stay still, like birds and other animals is just how quickly it can focus. The Sonic Speed AF system in the DMC-FZ40 brings many enhancements, as well as a higher-speed actuator, optimized algorithms and parallel software processing. The result is a faster and more accurate Auto Focusing performance.

Spectacular HD movies on the big screen

The Lumix DMC-FZ40 records high-definition movies in AVCHD Lite with the great quality of Dolby Digital Stereo Creator. It also has motion JPEG (1,280 x 720 pixels). Just press the Movie recording button to begin shooting. Change to Creative Movie mode and you can manually alter the shutter speed and aperture. Or you could use Intelligent Auto to put up the camera do the thinking for you, while you concentrate on composition and following the action. When you've completed shooting, simply put in the SD card into the VIERA Image Viewer (SD/SDHC/SDXC card slot) on a VIERA TV or Panasonic Blu Ray recorder / player to see and share your footage or connect your Lumix DMC-FZ40 to your VIErA TV and use the remote to see and share your recording.

Panasonic FZ40 vs FZ35

At first look the Panasonic FZ40 camera seems very similar to the earlier-launched FZ35 . But the main differences are imperative ones: more powerful optical zoom, much higher resolution image capture, faster auto focus, movie recording in full HD, wider aperture range and a 25mm ultra wide angle lens.
