8MP successor to the [[Panasonic DMC-FZ20|FZ20]], the FZ30 adds a non-retracting mechanical zoom lens (which is only operable manually and means start-up time is reduced to roughly 1 second), an increased pixel count on the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EVF EVF] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LCD LCD], and a manual focus ring (which is electronically linked). Possibly the greatest additions are [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RAW_image_format RAW] functionality, two thumb dials to control aperture and exposure timing, and a rotate-and-flip LCD.
