    • Product Rating: 5 star(s) I Spend a lot of time price shopping, No more going straight to Vann's
      by The Torpeto, Nov. 12, 2008
    • Pros: Stabilizer, Digital Zoom, There are many Items that makes this Camera Great.
    • Cons: Have not had it long enough to find a bad thing, so far I am pleased.

      Well, I first bought a Kodak, it was nice. However the price was slightly higher but the quality was not as good since I was using windows 2000 SP-4 and their software would not work. When I called Kodak their customer service could care less. They offered no help. I then checked out the Panasonic which was a far better Camera and Customer service went out of the way to help me, I then started pricing the camera DMC-FZ28 and found that Vann's Beat everyone's price by $50.00 to $75.00! Then, on top of that, they offered free shipping! Where everyone else wanted an arm and a leg for shipping. Plus Vann's had a package deal with a 2G memory card, a case, and a new battery, for half the price. GOOD TRADE!...

    • Product Rating: 5 star(s) Out-shot my brother's D SLR with amazingly quick zoom and clarity of pictures.
      by CameraAddict, Oct. 8, 2008
    • Pros: great easy and quick zoom; wonderful clarity of pictures with fantastic lens while being light-weight
    • Cons: slower response on shutter speed when taking pictures than expected
    • Comments:
      Recently took a week long trip to shoot waterfalls, lighthouses, Lake Superior, and wildlife with brother who purchased a D SLR for twice the price. Brother is jealous of some of the shots I was able to get because of the speed of the zoom and clarity of the pictures. While he fumbled from one lens to another and manually focusing, I was able to get shots he missed or barely got as the subject flew off - bald eagles in tree and as it took flight. ...

      Great camera for the price! I would have liked to have an interchangeable lens feature, but for the price this is a capable home amateur camera, but not a hobbyist one. ...

    • Product Rating: 4 star(s) Great little camera for travel
      by Curlygurly, May. 8, 2008
    • Pros: Has great lens (Leica) and 12X capability. Is small but capable, shoots RAW as well as jpg.
    • Cons: Sensor is small so resolution is not what you would get with an SLR.
    • Comments:
      Is light and has great features making it a good camera to travel with. Has a lot of good presets. Not as good with low light situations though. Resolution is not that of a full size DSLR. ...
