Megazoom movie madness

With tons of manual controls, especially for HD movie capture, the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ35 has a lot going for it, and we're glad Panasonic, sticking with its 18x lens, isn't engaging in the lens specsmanship wars. Still, megazooms as a group tend to have poorer image quality overall than other types of cameras, and the FZ35 fails to break the mold in that respect.
