I bought this camera after seeing some excellent wildlife shots on the Wild about Britain web site taken with this model
The 12x zoom lens gets really close to the subject and the camera has built in anti-shake so you can take photos at much lower shutter speeds than you would expect.
I have found the camera to be all and more than I expected of it and it is very easy to use without constant reference to the Manual - something that can't be said of all Digital Cameras!
If you are looking for a good reliable Digital camera but don't want the extra weight and complication of an SLR then i think this one is a good bet.

The camera has now been superceeded by the FZ50.

I HAVE HAD MY FZ30 FOR APPROX 2 YEARS NOW & HAVE NO INTENTION OF CHANGING IT FOR THE FZ50 OR A DIGITAL SLR, I AM A KEEN PHOTOGRAPHER BUT HAVE NEVER HAD THE PATIENCE TO CHANGE SETTINGS & I LOVE THE FACT THAT I CAN GET TOP QUALITY PICTURES BY JUST LEAVING IT ON AUTO & USING THE OLD POINT & SHOOT METHOD, IN MY OPINION THE REAL ADVANTAGE THIS FIXED LENS CAMERA HAS OVER ANY SLR IS THE FACT I CAN GO FROM REALLY CLOSE MACRO SHOTS (approx 2in from the subject ideal for flowers, insects, ebay listings etc) TO GETTING SOME REALLY NICE PHOTOS OF THE MOON (tripod really needed for these) & WILDLIFE SHOTS ALL ON THE SAME LENS & ALL VERY GOOD QUALITY PHOTOS, TO SUM UP I HAVE TAKEN MY BEST EVER PICTURES WITH THIS CAMERA & I HAVE BEEN INTO PHOTOGRAPHY FOR OVER 30 YEARS & CAN THOUROUGHLY RECOMEND IT TO ANYONE FROM BEGINER TO KEEN SNAPPER.
