 Panasonic Lumix FZ50 - ISO
According to Yin Wong: "We find the overall image quality of the Panasonic FZ50 to be very good to excellent at ISO 100, with low noise and images retaining most of the details. At higher ISOs, images suffer from noise. CA is under control in everyday shots and is not much of a problem even in high contrast shots. We find the overall image quality of the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ50 at ISO 100 to be excellent with good details in the shadows and highlights. ISO 200 is usable. Noise is objectionable at higher ISOs."
Panasonic FZ50 camera - Viewfinder and LCD monitor
Yin Wong continues: "There is an electronic viewfinder (EVF: 235,000 pixels) as well as a large 2.0 in. flip-out LCD monitor with a high 207,000 pixels resolution. The LCD has a fast enough refresh rate for a smooth display. The LCD monitor's brightness can be adjusted in MENU/SETUP. Press the DISP button for more than 1 sec. and the Power LCD function kicks in and sets the LCD a notch brighter. The LCD gains up only slightly in low-light. Flip it out and rotate it for comfortable viewing above your head or at low angles." You want to learn more about the Panasonic LUMIX camera? Continue to read the Panasonic FZ50 review at Photoxels.
About Photoxels
Photoxels was founded in 2002 by MyKhanh Wong (Owner, Editor) and Yin Wong (Contributing Editor), the editors behind Photoxels. In 2001, we went on the Web to learn about digital cameras like everyone else. But it seems that the more we read about digital cameras, the more reviews we scrutinized, and the more we searched... the more confused we became. If we were somewhat confused about which digital cameras to buy before visiting the digital camera review sites, we became even more confused after reading most of the (very) technical reviews. Slowly, one article and one review at a time, we pieced together what were really important to know about digital cameras and clarified many of the digital photography-related terminology. We decided to share what we learned on the Internet, and Photoxels was born.
