The group at CNET has a review on the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ50K where they write, 'In addition to a wide range of shooting options, the DMC-FZ50 incorporates a manual focus ring for an SLR feel as well as a flip-out 2-inch LCD that can rotate and pivot 180 degrees--perfect for those over-the-head crowd shots.Though we've liked preceding models in this series, they've all displayed serious image noise. The DMC-FZ50 uses Panasonic's new Venus Engine III image-processing engine, which will hopefully improve matters. Unlike the FZ30, which lacked raw-editing software, the DMC-FZ50 will ship with Silkypix Developer Studio 2 SE.

The Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ50 ships in September with a suggested price of $650 and will be available in silver or black.'
