Megapixel reviews the Panasonic DMC-FZ8

” The body shape is unchanged, and the FZ8 continues the small SLR look of its predecessors, with a little rubber-clad grip that offers a good hold on the camera. The 2-stage, chromed Shutter Release is perched above the grip, and has the zoom control lever sticking out at the front, making it easy to adjust the zoom’s focal length.

As always, the zoom lever also serves in Playback, presenting thumbnails of the photos as an index sheet when pushed towards the W side, first in groups of 9 images then 25 when the lever is pushed a second time towards the W side, then presenting photos in a calendar view that starts with the current month, and places a tiny thumbnail of the first image of those captured on a specific date. Pressed to the T side, the lever serves to zoom into an image currently displayed on the monitor in increments of 2X, 4X, 8X, and 16X.”
