Pocket-Lint - Announced at the same time as the previously reviewed Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ100, the more affordable FZ45 employs the same digital SLR-like styling, 14.1-megapixel effective resolution, and fields an optically stabilised 24x zoom lens, offering a wide-angle 25-600mm equivalent in 35mm film terms. In many respects then these two “mega zooms” are peas from the same pod, further including stereo sound recording and 1280 x 720 HD movies in AVCHD Lite or Motion JPEG format with dedicated red record button.
