Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ28

from www.amazon.com
everything good about this camera has been covered already in other reviews here so i will only say it's a ten star camera, five stars does not do it justice.
from www.amazon.com
because i don't take video often i give this camera 4 stars but i do not reccommend it to anyone who wants a good video camera.
from www.amazon.com
all told, i'm very happy with this camera and would have given it 4.5 stars if that were allowed - it's better than a 4, but not quite a 5.
from www.amazon.com
i initially gave this camera only four stars but just upgraded it to five.
from www.amazon.com
overall, it gave it 4 stars because alot of my girlfriends prefer an "auto" camera, no messing around with all the settings.

from www.bhphotovideo.com
i rate the camera high in every category, and would give it more than five stars for value.
from www.adorama.com
it's remarkable that i have been able to record stars, constellations and nebulae with just the camera lens, but i find it bothersome that i cannot focus stars down to pin points, it just stops short.
from www.amazon.com
in general, it is a really great camera, but not "perfect," which is why i gave it four stars.
from www.amazon.com
other than that, it is a decent camera with an easy to use interface (all the basic functions are just 1 or 2 clicks away) and i give it 5 stars.
from www.amazon.com
i cannot give it five stars though because the literature that accompanied the camera is lengthy and not all that easy to read/understand.

it the autofocus worked while shooting hd movies this camera would get 10 stars.
from www.amazon.com
video and live-view get 2 stars, but they are not the real point of the camera anyway, so overall it's a 4 to 4 and a half.

as a camera 5 stars.
from www.amazon.com
i gave this camera only 4/5 stars is because of three reasons.

from www.amazon.com
its just a fun fun camera to own, and the only reason i give it 4 stars and not 5, is that i will reserve that 5th one for the d3x.

why did i give it 4 stars instead of 5 you say?
from www.amazon.com
i have seen that other readers giving 4 stars based on small or personal preferences.

if you can use that camera, you'll be rightat home here.i find the bigger 3 inch live view very useful for focusing stars in astrophotography, an impossible task through the tiny viewfinder.

i give the xsi 4 stars because it doesn't always pick out the correct focus plane (my baby's face) on autofocus -- which of course makes a big difference when your depth of field is more limited.

Canon PowerShot G10

Best Price: $365.00

from www.amazon.com
i gave it five stars, though i'd like to give it a half-star demerit for the lack of raw support in photoshop (a problem i hope will soon be corrected).
from www.amazon.com
i am not sure that this is even possible so i gave it 5 stars.
from www.amazon.com
when canon provides more flexible support for raw (or i learn other ways to get their files into photoshop and aperture), i'll probably give the g10 5 stars.
from www.amazon.com
a mea culpa is in order plus a drop to 4 or even three stars.
from www.amazon.com
i thought, "how much better can it be to own a model that's 7 more generations down the road?!" i purchased it in spite of the inordinate number of amazon buyers who gave it 3-stars or below.
