We&#8217;ve been very happy with Panasonic, the price is affordable and the quality, reliability is great. This Christmas we decided to get a small portable Panasonic ZS8 with 16x optical zoom for traveling, especially on the ski slopes with the kids. There are a few reviews on the internet do favor this camera. Amazon has it on sale for $149 free shipping, we don&#8217;t think any other camera is better than this one with the same price range.<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Amazon shipped in a few days and we got our camera.<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a class=\"preview\" title=\"Panasonic ZS8\" href=\"\/media\/zs8\/sm_zs847.JPG\" rel=\"shadowbox[zs8]\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"vertical-align: baseline; border: 3px solid black;\" title=\"Panasonic ZS8\" alt=\"Panasonic ZS8\" src=\"\/media\/zs8\/tn_zs847.JPG\" width=\"250\" height=\"141\" \/><\/a><em><\/em>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <a class=\"preview\" title=\"Panasonic ZS8\" href=\"\/media\/zs8\/sm_zs848.JPG\" rel=\"shadowbox[zs8]\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"vertical-align: baseline; border: 3px solid black;\" title=\"Panasonic ZS8\" alt=\"Panasonic ZS8\" src=\"\/media\/zs8\/tn_zs848.JPG\" width=\"250\" height=\"141\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a class=\"preview\" title=\"Battery and Charger\" href=\"\/media\/zs8\/sm_zs849.JPG\" rel=\"shadowbox[zs8]\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"vertical-align: baseline; border: 3px solid black;\" title=\"Battery and Charger\" alt=\"battery and charger\" src=\"\/media\/zs8\/tn_zs849.JPG\" width=\"250\" height=\"141\" \/><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <a class=\"preview\" title=\"Battery and Charger\" href=\"\/media\/zs8\/sm_zs850.JPG\" rel=\"shadowbox[zs8]\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"vertical-align: baseline; border: 3px solid black;\" title=\"Battery and Charger\" alt=\"battery and charger\" src=\"\/media\/zs8\/tn_zs850.JPG\" width=\"250\" height=\"141\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a class=\"preview\" title=\"Battery and SD card slots\" href=\"\/media\/zs8\/sm_zs855.JPG\" rel=\"shadowbox[zs8]\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"vertical-align: baseline; border: 3px solid black;\" title=\"Battery and SD card slots\" alt=\"battery and sd card slots\" src=\"\/media\/zs8\/tn_zs855.JPG\" width=\"250\" height=\"141\" \/><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <a class=\"preview\" title=\"Battery and SD card Cover\" href=\"\/media\/zs8\/sm_zs858.JPG\" rel=\"shadowbox[zs8]\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"vertical-align: baseline; border: 3px solid black;\" title=\"Battery and SD card Cover\" alt=\"battery and sd card slots\" src=\"\/media\/zs8\/tn_zs858.JPG\" width=\"250\" height=\"141\" \/><br \/>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>To us the pictures don&#8217;t come out as clear and sharp as the FZ28 because it&#8217;s small. When zoom close-up to 12x +, it&#8217;s hard to take a sharp picture without being blurry due to the light weight of the camera. With the heavier FZ28, it&#8217;s not a problem.
