DMC-FZ50 is a superzoom bridge digital camera by Panasonic. It is the
successor of the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ30.The camera is known for its
high-quality optics and effective optical image stabilization system.
Many professional reviews have commended it for its excellent pictures
at ISO 100, but it has a reputation for excessively "smeary" noise
reduction at higher ISO settings; this can be negated by using the RAW
capture mode. It uses proprietary Lithium-Ion batteries. There is no
storage built into the camera; an MMC, SD, or SDHC card is required.
High-speed SD cards up to 2GB and SDHC cards up to 16GB are supported.
