Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ45
(August 2010)
The Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ45 is a very well specified megazoom bridge camera.
What’s good about the FZ45:
- Very versatile zoom from 25mm wide angle up to good telephoto range of 600mm
- Excellent flash range
What’s disappointing:
- Continuous shooting performance below par
