Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ18

12 Apr, 2008, 12:33 pm IST | by Gagan Gupta | Point and Shoot

The price of the FZ18 is currently close to Rs 28,000, which is a bit on the higher side. But in many ways it's worth it. If you're looking at more features, you should probably take a look at the Sony DSC-H9 before picking this up. But if performance is what matters, this is a great superzoom to own.
