    CNET Review

    February 27, 2004

    The Good: Impressive 12X, f/2.8 zoom lens with optical image stabilization; fast for a long-zoom camera; relatively broad feature set.

    The Bad: Poor autofocus performance in dim light; disappointing image quality; doesn't support uncompressed files.

    The Bottom Line: The FZ10 offers better design and performance than many long-lens models, but its image quality is so-so.

    Review Summary: Our original Lumix unit developed a fault during testing in which both the LCD display and the electronic viewfinder acquired a magenta cast, though photos still came out fine. The replacement unit we received functioned perfectly
