Panasonic FZ38 back in the Face-Off

Prices unavailable Recommended alternatives Editor's Choice Panasonic Lumix FZ150 Style and Substance Sony Cyber-shot HX100V Monster Zoom Canon PowerShot SX40 HS

When we tested the new Panasonic FZ38 recently, we found a small problem with the lens: it wasn't sharp in the top right part of the frame on some of the test shots we took in our lab.  That's why we decided to withdraw it from the Product Face-Off while we were waiting for a new version to test. 

Panasonic has provided us with a new FZ38, and after trying it out with our full range of tests, we can confirm than that the problems with the first version were an isolated incident.

That's why you can find it back in the Product Face-Off for digital cameras, and we've also replaced the ISO test card image in its test.
