Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ35: Is it a good camera?

[Art]

oh ya...all the pics you see above are unedited and point and shoot shots

Art, honestly i can't tell 1 pic from another. Really appreciate the effort you guys want to tell me here but then i'm looking at a camera which can do zoom and a good shutter speed.

The sensor thingy seems lower but overall the FZ35 seems to fit my usage more and frankly the FX35 also look nicer

Any good lobang for a deal ?

I did but I'm not really into photography and instead of a budget DSLR i could get a better point and shoot camera.

Correct me if i'm wrong but if i want to get something close up or something far away, i need to use different lens for a DSLR? Also i can't really find any average DSLR with a budget of $600

Cannot stretch? I think you can get a pentax k-x twin lens kit for around $900. The 18-55 kit is around $750.

Not into changing lens yet. I see the price also over my budget already

More like the opposite... my Raptor E550 hanging on my wall like a ornament now. Anyway, i don't think i'm capable of learning a DSLR. No more space on the wall.

Extremely happy with my Lumix FZ18 (Older model of the FZ35) ...it has replaced my bulky and cumbersume DSLR and Vidcam.

Here are some reduced size images (In order to upload here) from my recent trip to Korea.

Looks good enough for me.

Look at the LX3's large CCD size, don't look at megapixels size.
Megapixels don't count for nothing.

The large CCD is what makes the IQ very good.

How do I chk for d ccd size? For example, I'm looking at canon eos 550D which states tt it has 22.3 x 14.9mm CMOS sensor. Is tt it? How do I know it's gd or gd enuff or not gd? How does d ccd work in relation to d megapixel values? Noob......

All things being equal, the camera with larger sensor has better image quality.
LX3 diagonal sensor size is 15.5 mm.
EOS 550D diagonal sensor size is 26.8 mm from the dimension you gave me. sqrt(a^2+b^2)

Not accounting for difference between CMOS and CCD and a million other factors. I'm not expert either. I just know some facts that's all.
"Good enough" is very subjective. Don't just look at megapixels. Look at the reviews.

It's not the size that counts but what it can do !!!
CCD size alone does not garrantees a great picture ...you have to take into account the lenses and processor of the camera.

Reviews are a good way to find out more ! ...I find this: http://www.dpreview.com/ a good source of information.

Tks bro etman n ghostfit. I'll chk out d weblink. Cheers

You're most welcome ! ...d**m ! that MFT Lumix G2 SLD is looking better and better every second ! ...and that G10 is just a little bit more than a FZ35 !
