Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS8 (Black)

THE GOOD: The Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS8 is a basic compact megazoom with very good photo quality and shooting performance for its class, as well as long battery life. THE BAD: The ZS8 is somewhat expensive for what its offering. THE BOTTOM LINE: The Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS8 is a fine compact megazoom, if not the best value.

Panasonic Lumix DMC- ZS8 review at Camera Labs

Panasonic's Lumix DMC-ZS8 is a simpler and more affordable version of the flagship Lumix ZS10 pocket super-zoom. It gives budget-conscious buyers exactly the same 16x optical range packed into the same compact body for a price that's around one quarter less. The resolution is also the same at 14.1 Megapixels, and some enthusiasts may actually prefer the image characteristics of its CCD sensor...

Instead it relies on an intelligent 3” LCD display that automatically adjusts the brightness according to the shooting...

Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS8 Review

Panasonic introduces the ZS8 into a market now crowded with competitors egged on by the success of this very line of long zoom cameras. The ZS8 is a 14-megapixel digital camera with a 16x zoom lens ranging from 24-384mm.
