Corrective power for visibly clearer zooming.
Hybrid still/motion images with POWER O.I.S. and an 18x optical zoom

AVCHD Lite Beautiful HD movies, extended shooting time
The FZ35 records HD movies with 1280 x 720-pixel resolution. It uses the AVCHD Lite format (MPEG-4/H.264) to achieve higher image quality while storing less data than the conventional Motion JPEG. Plus, the FZ35 is equipped with an HDMI output terminal for direct transmission of digital image and sound signals. Just connect the camera to an HDTV using a single HDMI mini cable (optional) for fast and easy slideshow enjoyment.

Creative Movie mode: You can adjust the aperture and shutter speed any way you like. This mode gives you a wider range of expressive possibilities to explore in your movie making.

Zoom-in movie: You can zoom in and out while shooting movies.
Stereo mic: This camera features Dolby Digital Stereo Creator, which records dynamic, true-to-life audio to bring out the power of your HD images.
IA mode (Movie): You can also use iA mode to shoot movies, and let the camera do all the work for you.

High-speed response for truly intuitive shooting
Enjoy high-speed 1.2-second start-ups, AF speeds of approximately 0.3 second, and up to five consecutive shots at 2.3 frames per second with full resolution. You can also take up to 470 photos with a single battery charge (CIPA). This comfortable level of performance lets you capture even the most fleeting shutter chances.

Wide-angle 27mm LEICA DC VARIO-ELMARIT lens and 18x optical zoom
The bright F2.8 LEICA DC VARIO-ELMARIT lens ranges from 27mm wide-angle all the way to 486mm telephoto. Combined with the double* corrective power of the improved POWER O.I.S., this makes it possible to capture subjects clearly without hand-shaking, even in the telephoto range.
*Panasonic comparison

My Color mode puts you in control of the color
In this mode, you can freely adjust the color, brightness and saturation parameters. This makes it easier and more fun to create interesting, expressive images. Adjust the settings that best suit the shooting conditions and your expressive intent, and then enjoy your own photography.

Best of the Lot

"After wearing out my first 2 Kodak Digital Cameras, I shopped and spent weeks reading reviews, studying every option and angle for the new Super Zoom's. Since I have gotten used to my new Panasonic FZ35 I'm convinced that there is no better Super Zoom Point & Shoot on the market. My professional Photographer friend agrees and highly praises my photos. Especially the ones I get paid for while shooting Road Racing..." Read Full Review »

Panasonic FZ35 Movie Problem

"This could have been a good camera if the movies didn't blur with zooming and panning. The avchd movie format for hd is cumbersone and for ripping etc requires more software like Nero or Adobe premier. The menu system is comprehensive but poorly layed out. The manual comes in a cd rather than hard copy. It has a context index but no alphabetic index...." Read Full Review »

"This camera felt very comfortable from the first time I picked it up. Controls were all in the right places and were easily maneuvered almost immediately. The camera's heft felt good and solid, but without the size of an SLR. The close up shots have been amazing. As with any ultra zoom point and …"  Read Full Review »

I've had the camera for about a month and have taken about 600 pics and half a dozen videos. I previously owned a DMC-FZ5 and thought it was a very good camera. …"  Read Full Review »
