Hybrid Super Zoom Camera FZ48 - For Both Photos and Full HD Videos Featuring 25mm Ultra Wide-angle 24x Optical Zoom LEICA DC Lens
The DMC-FZ48 features a 25mm ultra wide-angle 24x optical zoom F2.8-5.2 LEICA DC VARIO-ELMARIT lens (35mm camera equivalent: 25-600mm). The powerful 24x optical zoom can be used both in photo and video recording. The 25mm ultra wide-angle lens has about twice the shooting area as a standard 35mm lens. Thanks to the Intelligent Resolution technology, the 32x Intelligent Zoom is also available. In addition, the POWER O.I.S. (Optical Image Stabilizer) helps you clear, crisp, blur-free zooming shots.
LEICA DC Lens
With the F2.8 LEICA DC lens, Hi-speed CCD and Venus Engine FHD, the DMC-FZ48 achieves the superb image quality. Especially, combined with the bright lens, the Hi-speed CCD realizes high image quality even in higher sensitivity. The F2.8 LEICA DC lens features Nano Surface Coating technology that boasts extremely low reflectance ratio to suppress ghosting. The image delivered through the lens has exceptional optical performance with stunning clarity that passes Leica's stringent standards.
Full HD Recording
The DMC-FZ48 can record full HD 1920 x 1080 videos in AVCHD format, thanks to Hi-speed CCD that features higher transfer processing speed. The DMC-FZ48 also features high quality sound of Dolby® Digital Stereo Creator and a dedicated video button that lets you instantly start recording videos without any having to make any extra settings. The POWER O.I.S. Active Mode comes in handy when shooting while walking or playing with children. The DMC-FZ48 can also record full HD video in MP4 format, optimal for viewing or editing on a computer.
Creative Control
With the DMC-FZ48, you can enjoy full-manual control in both photo and video recording. In the Creative Video Mode, the shutter speed and aperture can be adjusted, just like you do with photographs. The Creative Control allows you to set artistic effect more intuitively. In Miniature Effect Mode, the peripherals are defocused while saturation and contrast is emphasized to look the picture like a diorama. With Photo Style, finer control in contrast, sharpness, saturation and noise reduction is available.
In the iA Mode, advanced detection functions work automatically and simultaneously to optimize your settings, making it easier than ever to take beautiful images. The fast and accurate Sonic Speed AF enables you to focus on moving subjects, such as when you're shooting sports scenes. Photos taken with the 3D Photo Mode can be viewed in 3D via the 3D Image Viewer of Panasonic VIERA TV offering you a whole new exciting experience.

So far the results are looking really good. The camera is light and compact. (May be too compact for someone with large hands / fingers) It seems to have all the features that I need at the moment as it will take me a while to get used to them all. The pictures so far have come out really well using the auto focus even when zooming in to flowers and a bird on our feeder through the kitchen window. I bought a spare battery, Samsonite carry bag, screen protectors and a fast 16Gb card to start me off. It will be great to see how well it performs over the Summer for landscape scenes, close up plant and flower shots as well as on holiday with the family. I'm a keen amateur photographer and I see this as a good way to move to a current format. It's been easy to connect to my window 7 PC and to download the pictures although the connection cable could do with being a bit longer. Overall I'm very pleased with the camera so far.
Before buying, I looked at all the other super zoom cameras on the market, and although some have a larger zoom or more megapixels etc,I decided on the Panasonic as this was one of the smallest superzoom cameras available, at the time of purchase.
It also offers full HD recording, and is easy to use for people like myself who just want to point and shoot.It comes with a Leica X24 zoom lens, so is an absolute bargain. Highly recommended.
