Playback

There are plenty of display options, but the slideshow is very basic.

There are five playback modes on offer with this camera: image only, simple info, detailed info, zoomed in and thumbnail.

Moving between images was easy, but the camera was a little slow to respond, making scrolling through a large group of images a little difficult. Basic slideshows can also be created with the camera, but you don’t get a lot of control over how the images are shown beyond picking how long each image is shown and picking one of two transition effects.

The editing features that are offered in this camera are very basic. Images can be resized to a smaller size, rotated and have red-eye removed, but that is all. There is no way to edit colors, crop images or do any other form of editing in the camera.Some other Canon models allow you to apply their color effects to images after they have been shot, but that feature is missing from this camera.

The usual suspects of DPOF and PictBridge are present on this camera: you can flag images for later printing with DPOF, or connect directly to a PictBridge printer with the included USB cable.

    Panasonic Lumix FZ150

    Excellent image quality, speedy performance, and a great design add up to the best superzoom that has ever graced our labs. That distinction seems to change hands every week, but trust us when we say that the FZ150 is a truly great camera. Read full 16-part review

    This professionally-geared ultrazoom offers some of the best color accuracy we've ever seen. It's a shame the other scores weren't quite so strong. Read full 16-part review

    Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ47

    Panasonic resists the urge to cram more megapixels and more focal length into their latest ultrazoom. The FZ47 instead focuses on image quality and features, resulting in an incredibly strong camera that we loved shooting with. Read full 16-part review
