Zoom And Snap Those A1 GP Cars With The Panasonic

If you are a fan of racing and live in or near London then Sunday would have been your day to take your digital camera and capture some amazing shots of cars from all countries. As seen on Sky news the A1GPs World cup of motorsport came into town, allowing fans to get up close and personal to the cars and meet some of the drivers. A total of 22 vehicles were put on display and if you were quick off the mark and armed yourself with a camera such as the Panasonic DMC FZ18 and plenty of SDcards for storage then you could have zoomed your way down there and got right into the cockpit.

Oliver Jarvis and Robbie Kerr who both drive for Great Britain both attended and were found talking with fans and posing for photos. While these are two of the best drivers on the circuit the Panasonic DMC FZ18 is one of the best in digital cameras.

Designed to be a compact camera the Panasonic DMC FZ18 has some really amazing features especially when it comes to taking shots of cars racing furiously around the track. The camera features 10 times optical zoom so you can get up close to your target, 28 mm wide angle lens and image stabilization. The camera is also sold as being "intelligent" as it as an excellent auto mode than means the camera almost does everything for you. It has support for extra memory by way of the SDcard slot and also has a small amount of memory built in, although you will still need to take full advantage of the memory card feature as a means of storage.

The intelligent mode is simplicity itself, just turn the dial to the setting and then point and shoot. In this mode the camera will take care of virtually everything from face detection, shake detection and scene detection. This allows the user to take professional shots just by pointing the camera in the right direction and pressing on the shutter button. If you want simplicity while at the same time a professional compact camera then the Panasonic DMC FZ18 is the model you should be looking at.

While being one of the easiest models to use it is also one of the friendliest. A 2 ½`` beautiful clear LCD screen allows you to see the shot lined up with ease and in any light. The intelligent system is also used here too as the camera will alter the lighting on the display itself in any lightening conditions to ensure you have the best view possible.
