Like with most cameras these days, Panasonic has built memory into the FZ18 in lieu of including a memory card. The cameras has 27MB of onboard memory, which holds just one RAW or six high quality JPEGs. Thus, you’ll want to get a larger memory card right away, if you don’t have one already.

dcresource Review the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ18 and gave out”Panasonic has created a really nice ultra zoom camera in the FZ18, though once again, image quality needs improvement. It’s clear from shooting in RAW mode that the camera is capable of capturing a lot of detail, but unfortunately the Venus III engine removes a lot of it in the name of noise reduction. If you’re a typical point-and-shoot user who will be sticking to smaller-sized prints, then this really isn’t an issue, and you’ll be very satisfied with the FZ18. If you’re making large prints, viewing them at 100% on your computer screen, or shooting at high ISOs, then you can still love the camera, but be prepared to post-process to get the best results. While it’s not the ultra zoom image quality champion, the FZ18 has so much to offer that it easily earns my recommendation.”
