Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ47 Superzoom Camera with 1080i HD Video Recording
Amateur photographers and hobbyists alike who require a DSLR alternative should consider looking into Panasonic’s latest bridge camera, the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ47 Digital Camera. Its resolution is not as huge as the Panasonic Lumix G3 16MP Digital Camera but it’s packed with great features.
Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ47 Superzoom Camera is the newest product in the Panasonic super-zoom FZ series comes with tons of impressive features. Even professionals will appreciate the improvements that the manufacturer put into the Lumix FZ47.
New upgrades to the DMC-FZ47 are faster AutoFocus speed, 3D photo shooting and full HD 1080p video recording. Thanks to a new 12.1 megapixel Hi-Speed CCD sensor, this camera can do faultless 1920×1080 movie capture and high-speed continuous photo shoots. It’s the same resolution as the Canon PowerShot SX230 HS compact camera but the FZ47 got high-end features.
The Panasonic Lumix FZ47 is a DSLR-like compact camera for its 24x superzoom LEICA lens.
The Venus Engine FHD processor produces superior picture and video quality while at the same time it works with the new Intelligent Resolution technology which gives this camera best possible signal processing.
The Lumix DMC-FZ47 uses a 25mm ultra-wide Leica DC VARIO-ELMARIT lens with 24x optical zoom. The huge zoom range is nicely complemented by the POWER O.I.S. (Optical Image Stabilizer) and Wind Cut feature that minimizes background wide noise when recording videos from afar.
The Leica lens was created with Panasonic’s new Nano Surface Coating technology to reduce light reflection which causes ghosting and flares. With the Venus Engine’s Intelligent Resolution technology, it’s even possible to extend the 24x zoom by 1.3x so this camera actually can do 32x optical zoom!
Panasonic is proud to share that the Lumix FZ47 has a start-up time 35% faster than the previous Lumix FZ40 camera. Fast-action photography is an easy task with this camera’s Panasonic Sonic Speed AF (Auto Focus) system. No more missed opportunities when using this camera which has lightning-fast response time and accurate AF tracking.
The Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ47 camera’s full HD video recording is nicely matched with a Dolby Digital Stereo Creator for more realistic and pristine audio. The internal mechanism of the video component of this camera reduces noise from zooming and AF motor. The Wind Cut function also eliminates nasty wind buzz. More importantly, a user can still take a still picture while being in video mode!
Lastly, I would like to dwell on the FZ47′s most unique feature which is the Creative Video mode where a user can manipulate shutter speed and aperture to create artistic video effects. No other DSLR or bridge digital camera offers this freedom, being able to change the aperture is a most welcome addition to this camera’s HD video recording. The Creative Mode also applies to photography. Panasonic added the new Creative Control and Photo Style for tons of in-camera photo manipulation.
Another outstanding feature is the ability of the Lumix FZ47 to take 3D stereoscopic like the LG Thrill 4G phone. Still pictures can be played back on Panasonic VIERA HDTV products. The Panasonic Lumix FZ47 release date is set this August 2011 with a super affordable price tag of only $399.99!
