• Average user rating: 4.0 stars out of 24 reviews

The Bottom Line: A better-than-average megazoom choice, the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ35 delivers standout video capabilities and an excellent manual feature set. Still, it suffers from a lot of the same drawbacks as its competitors, including weak photo quality. Read review

• CNET Editor rating:

  Overall score: 8.1 (4.0 stars)
• Average user rating: 4.5 stars out of 7 reviews

The Bottom Line: It's speedy, feature-packed, and an excellent ILC for shooting video, but to consistently get really good photos out of the Panasonic Lumix DMC-GH2 requires shooting raw. Read review

  Overall score: 7.5 (3.5 stars)
• Average user rating: 4.0 stars out of 2 reviews

The Bottom Line: Though we still really like Panasonic's GF series, there are several trade-offs to take into account before you buy the Panasonic Lumix DMC-GF2. Its raw-format images look extremely good, but JPEG shooters looking for best-possible photo quality may get frustrated by image artifacts. And while lots of photographers will appreciate its relatively compact but functional design and zippy performance--though still not for action shooting--there's nothing special about its feature set, including underpowered video capture.

• CNET Editor rating:
  3.5 stars Very good

  Overall score: 7.4 (3.5 stars)
• Average user rating: 4.5 stars out of 13 reviews

The Bottom Line: Although the Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX3 has its share of passionate fans, we think the JPEG quality should be more consistent for the price. Read review

• CNET Editor rating:
  3.5 stars Very good

  Overall score: 7.5 (3.5 stars)
• Average user rating: 4.5 stars out of 3 reviews

The Bottom Line: The Panasonic Lumix DMC-G1 is a camera that people will either love for its speed, photo quality, and interchangeable-lens flexibility or hate for its large-ish size, electronic viewfinder, and occasionally frustrating design. Read review

Specs: 12.1 megapixels, 3.2 x, 28 - 90mm F/3.5, 13.0 x 17.3mm, Live MOS, Optical (MEGA O.I.S.)

• CNET Editor rating:
  4.0 stars Excellent

  Overall score: 8.0 (4.0 stars)
• Average user rating: 4.0 stars out of 6 reviews

The Bottom Line: The best interchangeable-lens compact we've see thus far, the Panasonic Lumix DMC-GF1 delivers great photo quality and performance in an enthusiast-friendly shooting experience. Like competitors, however, the lack of an optical viewfinder limits its usability for photographing action. Read review

Specs: 12.1 megapixels, 3.2 x, 28 - 90mm F/3.5, 13.0 x 17.3mm, Live MOS, Optical (MEGA O.I.S.)

• CNET Editor rating:
  3.5 stars Very good

  Overall score: 7.7 (3.5 stars)
• Average user rating: 4.5 stars out of 5 reviews

The Bottom Line: If you're looking for a camera that's not quite as big as a dSLR but doesn't skimp on hardware controls or features like an articulated LCD, EVF and stereo full HD video, the G3 is one of my top options. But performance is hit-and-miss for shooting action, so you may end up having to go with something just a bit bigger, anyway. Read review

Specs: 16 megapixels, 4 x, 28 - 84mm F/3.5, 13.0 x 17.3mm, Live MOS, Optical (MEGA O.I.S.)

  Overall score: 7.3 (3.5 stars)
• Average user rating: 4.0 stars out of 25 reviews

The Bottom Line: Other cameras may deliver higher resolution and longer optical zooms, but the Panasonic FZ28 proves that the "more is better" presumption isn't always valid. Read review

  3.5 stars Very good

  Overall score: 7.7 (3.5 stars)
• Average user rating: 4.0 stars out of 1 review

The Bottom Line: Although the photos look a hair noisier and overprocessed compared with many competitors, the Panasonic Lumix DMC-G2 has a lot to recommend about it--including a flip-and-twist touch-screen and speedy performance. Read review

Specs: 12.1 megapixels, 3 x, 28 - 84mm F/3.5, 13.0 x 17.3mm, Live MOS, Optical (MEGA O.I.S.)

• CNET Editor rating:
  3.5 stars Very good

  Overall score: 7.9 (3.5 stars)
• Average user rating: 4.0 stars out of 6 reviews

The Bottom Line: If you're willing to pay a premium to be on the cutting edge of digital photography and video, and as long as you don't shoot sports or in dark venues, then you'll likely love the Panasonic Lumix DMC-GH1. But if you're simply attracted by the not-to-be-underestimated flexibility of interchangeable lenses with autofocus and depth-of-field control for video, wait for the price to fall a few hundred bucks.
