While it no longer offers the same sheer value, it does give you the flexibility of a longer and wider 18x optical zoom with decent stabilisation and none of the fringing concerns of immediate rivals.&lt;/dt&gt;&lt;/dl&gt;&lt;dl&gt;&lt;dt&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.dcresource.com/reviews/panasonic/dmc_fz18-review/index.shtml&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; title=&quot;Dcresource&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Dcresource.com:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/a&gt;The DMC-FZ18 has almost every feature imaginable on it. On the beginner side, you've got regular scene modes, advanced scene modes, and mode that will even pick the scene for you automatically. &lt;/dt&gt;&lt;dt&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.tomsguide.com/us/2007/10/05/panasonic_dmc_fz18/index.html&quot; title=&quot;TomsGuide&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/dt&gt;&lt;dt&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.tomsguide.com/us/2007/10/05/panasonic_dmc_fz18/index.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; title=&quot;TomsGuide&quot;&gt;Tomsguide.com:&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/u&gt; The DMC-FZ18 has almost every feature imaginable on it.
