CNET Review
The Good: The Panasonic Lumix DMC-FH27 is a straightforward point-and-shoot with a flexible lens and useful touch-screen operation.
The Bad: Its 16-megapixel resolution is a bit of a waste and you can't use the optical zoom while recording movies.
The Bottom Line: Simple and satisfying, Panasonic's Lumix DMC-FH27 is an excellent point-and-shoot value.
