 Panasonic FZ50 - Macro photography
According to Mark Goldstein: "The Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ50 dealt extremely well with chromatic aberrations, with limited purple fringing effects appearing only in high contrast situations. Macro performance is above average for an ultra-zoom camera, allowing you to focus as close as 5 cms away from the subject. The built-in flash worked well indoors, with no red-eye and slight under-exposure. Noise at higher ISO speeds is the DMC-FZ50's main weakpoint."

Mark continues: "The DMC-FZ50 is a stylish, very well made camera that will feel instantly familiar to anyone who has used an SLR before, with a full range of automatic and manual exposure controls available. It's a stylish, straight-forward, advanced camera with that 12x Leica zoom lens as its main attraction. On the other hand, the move to a 10 megapixel sensor hasn't done this camera any favours, stopping me from recommending the DMC-FZ50 more strongly. If you're really interested in the massive focal range on offer and you don't want a "proper" DSLR, then the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ50 should still find a place on your shopping list, despite that persistent issue of noise."
