This is my third Lumix high zoom camera. My first Lumix was the original high zoom DMC-FZ1 from 2003. I fell in love with the Lumix high optical zoom cameras since then due to the Leica lens (Leica is considered to be the Rolls Royce of camera lens), image quality, durability and ease of use. A few years later I upgraded to the DMC-FZ7 which is also another great Lumix camera. I recently upgraded to the DMC-FZ35 for the continued image quality and also HD video recording ability. It became tiring having to carry a separate camera and video recorder when on vacation. I sold my HD video camera (Canon HF100) and Lumix DMC-FZ7 for this camera so I can have both items in one instead. I have been impressed as before with the image quality. I did notice that the photo quality is more vibrant than previous Lumix cameras. This camera has a newer processor than my F7. The photos are sharp and vibrant. I do not think the photos can get any better than this. I did notice that this camera is slightly bigger than my previous Lumix cameras which surprised me however it is similar in weight. The camera is built solidly and appears durable. As for the video quality, I am not able to give it 5 stars. It does record in HD (1280x720) instead of 1920x1080 however the video quality could use some improvement. Video at full 1280x720 AVCHD is supposed to be the best possible image quality however it looks more like DVD quality instead of full HD. Video looks good outdoors in bright light however it does become grainy and dull indoors as is a common problem with most HD video cameras. My Canon HF100 HD video camera is a highly rated video camera however it also had the same image quality problem when used indoors. The camera does allow optical zoom while recording however the adjustment speed is around 1/2 of photo zoom. I do not know why the zoom feature moves slowly while video recording compared to photo zoom. Overall, this is a great camera for the price: Leica lens, full manual control, durability, excellent photo quality, SD card recording (cheaper media cost compared to Sony media cards), decent video quality.

I own an earlier version of the Panasonic Lumix and found it to be quite satisfactory. Several reviews of the new DCM=FZ35 let me to invest in this new one. Although I have not used it extensively, the results so far have been stellar. Last ween-end, I took pictures of my seven year old grand-daughters playing in a basketball tournament. Setting the controls on Indoor Sport and adding the burst feature produced excellent results. And the download to my Adobe on the Dell is easy and efficient. I couldn't has for a better camera for my uses.

If you need a Mega Zoom all in one. It's 5 stars all the way! The FZ28 was the camera of the year and this one just gets better!

I have had this camera about a week and will post a review when I've had more time to work with it. However, if you are thinking about buying this camera, I would highly recommend that you go to flickr.com and search "Groups" for the "Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ35(FZ38) Digital Camera" group. There are actually 3 groups for this camera, but look at the one that has about 683 members. They post pictures they have taken with the camera, and have a wealth of info in the Q&A about software, lens, bags, etc. Cameralabs.com also has a great review, and comparison with the Canon SX20.

Great pictures. Really fast to shoot. Great functionality. Very very good product. I am fascinated with it. Read the whole manual and tried every item, it is really great. The face recognition is a fantastic innovation. It can zoom while recording movies. Incredible zoom.
