Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ28 or Fujifilm Finepix S2000HD
Q:Fujifilm Finepix S2000HD vs. Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ28?—By theresa
I am undecided between these two cameras. I like the features both seem to have. Which is a better camera? I’m not a pro, but I want something that will take beautiful photos. I like that the Fuji is HD. I don’t want to spend too much and am wondering even though the Panasonic has a little longer zoom and RAW (which I have no idea what it is), is it really worth me spending the extra $100 bucks or so? What do you think? Which company produces better cameras in general?

In general, buying a P&S camera with a better optical zoom is the way to go, since you cannot change or add lenses until you either buy a new camera or upgrade to a DSLR
Both cameras have excellent lenses and have been making cameras for many years.
What you can do is take a SD memory card with you into a store that sells both and just shoot a test. Shots at both ends of the zoom range, at the two extremes of the ISO range and a few test shots at the closest focus point. Then take the card home and look at the results on you nice large computer monitor … then YOU will know which is the best for your style of shooting.
RAW is when the camera can record all the information that is collected on the sensor which increases the amount of data stored on the image file … that means the potential of a higher quality image and larger enlargements. Cameras that only capture the images in JPEG remove over 75% of the data actually “seen” by the sensor when the image is processed.
