Description:
The
Panasonic Lumix FZ28 has a
sensor resolution of 10.1-megapixels from a 1/2.33-inch RGB CCD image sensor, and
Panasonic has coupled this to an image-stabilized, Leica DC Vario-Elmarit-branded 18x
optical zoom
lens with a useful range all the way from a 27mm wide angle to a 486mm telephoto. As you'd expect for a long-zoom camera, there's a choice of both an
electronic viewfinder and an
LCD display. The
Panasonic FZ28's
electronic viewfinder is a 0.20-inch
LCD type with 201,600 dots of resolution, and yields a 100% field of view. There's also a 2.7-inch
LCD display with 230,000 dot resolution, which again has 100% coverage. The
Panasonic FZ28's
lens has a maximum aperture that varies from f/2.8 to f/4.4 across the zoom range. The minimum focusing distance for the
Panasonic DMC-FZ28 is ordinarily some 30 centimeters, but drops to just one centimeter at wide angle when switched to Macro mode. At the tele end, focusing down to two meters is the norm, but a Tele Macro mode drops this to as close as one
meter when the zoom is set from 11 to 18x.
