Hybrid still/motion images with POWER O.I.S. and an 18x optical zoom
AVCHD Lite Beautiful HD movies, extended shooting time
The FZ35 records HD movies with 1280 x 720-pixel resolution. It uses the AVCHD Lite format (MPEG-4/H.264) to achieve higher image quality while storing less data than the conventional Motion JPEG. Plus, the FZ35 is equipped with an HDMI output terminal for direct transmission of digital image and sound signals. Just connect the camera to an HDTV using a single HDMI mini cable (optional) for fast and easy slideshow enjoyment.
Creative Movie mode: You can adjust the aperture and shutter speed any way you like. This mode gives you a wider range of expressive possibilities to explore in your movie making.
Zoom-in movie: You can zoom in and out while shooting movies.
Stereo mic: This camera features Dolby Digital Stereo Creator, which records dynamic, true-to-life audio to bring out the power of your HD images.
IA mode (Movie): You can also use iA mode to shoot movies, and let the camera do all the work for you.
High-speed response for truly intuitive shooting
Enjoy high-speed 1.2-second start-ups, AF speeds of approximately 0.3 second, and up to five consecutive shots at 2.3 frames per second with full resolution. You can also take up to 470 photos with a single battery charge (CIPA). This comfortable level of performance lets you capture even the most fleeting shutter chances.
Wide-angle 27mm LEICA DC VARIO-ELMARIT lens and 18x optical zoom
The bright F2.8 LEICA DC VARIO-ELMARIT lens ranges from 27mm wide-angle all the way to 486mm telephoto. Combined with the double* corrective power of the improved POWER O.I.S., this makes it possible to capture subjects clearly without hand-shaking, even in the telephoto range.
*Panasonic comparison
My Color mode puts you in control of the color
In this mode, you can freely adjust the color, brightness and saturation parameters. This makes it easier and more fun to create interesting, expressive images. Adjust the settings that best suit the shooting conditions and your expressive intent, and then enjoy your own photography.

Comments about Panasonic DMC-FZ35K Black 12.1-megapixel Digital Camera:
This is a wonderful camera! It has a nice big lens that produces great shots without flash, when you use the appropriate setting. I love the Shutter and Aperture Propriety settings- they really produce clear images! It is also EXTREMELY lightweight, almost the same weight as my old Canon digital camera!

Comments about Panasonic DMC-FZ35K Black 12.1-megapixel Digital Camera:
Nice camera for an average user. The various picture settings are helpful if one takes the time to understand the icons and what they mean in terms of picture results. My wife is a notorious non-reader of instruction manuals = zero patience, so it's hard to convince here there's more than one setting for taking a picture!
The camera is ergonomically well designed and one hand usage is easy. The buttons are rather small, so navigation of the menus is a bit tedious.
However the camera takes very nice point and shoot pictures in auto mode when no set-up is desired. If one takes the time to adjust the settings or use a preset for specific conditions, it does do a nice job of adjusting accordingly to improve picture quality.
Battery life is good, on/off operation is quite quick, video mode is nice in the cases where the dedicated video camera is not on-hand.
All told I think this camera is a good value. I would recommend it to other people looking for a "high end" point & shoot camera with some versatility and solid picture quality.

Comments about Panasonic DMC-FZ35K Black 12.1-megapixel Digital Camera:
I bought my first SLR in 1967 and my first digital camera in 1994. I also shoot a lot of video. I've waited a long time for a Super Zoom camera that meets my most of my needs. My extensive research led me to this camera, and my photos and videos taken so far, have proven to me that this is camera to own. Get a nice hard shell case for it because you'll want to keep it a long long time.

** It is an excellent camera for casual photographers. The only con is the long lag time between pics. Love the face detection mode which is a new addition in this model
