We said it earlier, but the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ28K is an amazing value, packed full of features, and in my opinion a better camera than its direct competitor the Canon SX10 IS. It’s brighter, lighter, faster, and shoots Hi-Def video, versus the SX10 whose main advantage on paper is the 20x zoom lens. In reality however 20x zoom is not a major advantage over an 18x zoom in terms of reach, but in fairness, the SX10 does have some detail advantage if you’re pixel peeping over crops. Late today Camera Labs posted a review of the FZ28K and had nothing but nice things to say (mind you they loved the predecessor, the FZ18):

Buy the FZ28 and you’ll get a compact, lightweight super-zoom camera with 10 Megapixel resolution, a huge 18x optically-stabilised range, HD video recording in the 720p format, support for RAW files, a mid-sized, but good-looking 2.7in screen, manual controls and one of the best fully automatic modes on the market. Once again it’s a compelling specification and represents great value even if the EVF has shrunk.
