The DMC-FZ30 is a digital camera made by Panasonic in 2005. The successor to the FZ20, it has 8 MP compared to the FZ20's 4. The FZ30 also has 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 EVF and LCD, and a manual focus ring (which is electronically linked).
