Panasonic Lumix DMC FZ8 video tour

We're pleased to present a short video tour of the Panasonic Lumix FZ8. This demonstrates the FZ8's design, coverage, image stabilisation and menu system.

There's no need to download any new software - just press the play button in the middle of the screen below and wait for the video to start; you may need to press the button twice. The quality and any delay before playing may vary depending on your internet connection.
