Product Description
Experience the power of an incredible 18x optical zoom in a 8.1-megapixel camera that fits in the palm of your hand. From vast landscapes to super telephoto shots, the DMC-FZ18 gives you crisp, stunning images using a 28mm wide-angle Leica DC Vario-Elmarit lens. For macro shots, the wide-angle setting lets you shoot all the way down to one centimeter from your subject, while the telephoto setting can be used up to one meter (3.28 feet) from your subject. With the Extended Optical Zoom function, zoom power is boosted to around 28.7x (in 3-megapixel resolution mode).

 Good service, but bad product July 22, 2008
I have to give buy.com five star for their service. However, this camera is terrible that the lens was shaking for the first one I ordered. and the second also have the same problem. I finally return the camera. No problem at all for exchange and return.

Excellent camera July 5, 2008
It's an excellent camera, it have some details like the flashlight sometimes is covered by the lens when you use it close to the object, but in general review it's an excellent camera.
Loved since I opened it June 25, 2008

I recently wanted to upgrade from a simple point & shoot to something with a little more manual control, without spending a whole lot of money on a DSLR and here's what I got.... I think I made a GREAT decision on buying this camera!!!
If you're thinking about buying a camera that's not as simple as a P&S, but not as expensive as a DSLR this a great option. I just got the camera, charged the battery and starting taking shots, and even using the IA (intelligent auto) mode the pictures are VERY VERY GOOD! Actually, according to some of the reviews I found here, I was expecting a little less quality on the pics but they were more than good.
The feel is pretty good, nice grip and it feels really comfortable in your hands (doesn't feel cheap at all!!!) The camera is not bulky, you probably wont want to put it in your pocket, unless you want everybody to stare at your leg like somethings coming out of it though....
Zooming is very smooth and focusing doesn't take long at all...
When I first fully charged the battery, it took like 10 minutes of video and like 200 pictures to drain it almost completely, which I think is very good.
The menu is very intuitive, and if you know what you're doing it'll be a lot easier to manually adjust the camera settings.
In conclusion, I would strongly recommend this camera for people who are not willing to pay for a DSLR or probably think it's too complicated (like myself LOL) and you won't be disappointed... BELIEVE ME!!!
