Digital Camera Reviews

Panasonic announce a new addition to the Lumix family of high-performance digital cameras. The new Lumix DMC-FX100 combines 1/1.72-inch large 12.2-megapixel image recording with a superb, 28mm wide-angle Leica DC lens that features a 3.6x optical zoom (equivalent to 28-100mm on a 35mm film camera) and f/2.8 brightness. This Leica DC lens has been newly developed specifically for the Lumix FX100, whose 12.2-megapixel recording gives users the creative power to capture stunningly true-to-life high-resolution images with extraordinary resolution, detail and clarity. Panasonic managed to pack the advanced 28mm wide-angle lens and large CCD into a sleek, slim body.

Advantages:     compact, easy to use and very multi functional .
Disadvantages:     none as yet .

A couple of weeks ago I was introduced to this tiny digital camera, now there have been plenty tiny digital cameras in the past but none have been all that good. This one however has an unbelievable amount of features for such a small piece of equipment. The digital cameras that have in the past claimed to be tiny compact cameras packed full of features have almost always been a let down so I didn’t expect too much from this one but boy was I surprised.

Many of you will know from reading my past reviews that cameras and photography are things I know a bit about. I have been into photography for a good few years now and have sampled many types of camera so I feel very able to tell you that if it’s a small digital camera you are looking for then this is the one.

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX100 (silver) Reviews From digitalcameras

Pros: Durable, Good battery life, Wide angle lens
Cons: Still a bit expensive

Love this camera. Was a bit unsure about switching over from Sony, but loving the Panasonic.

The body feels durable and sturdy. Menu setup was relatively easy to learn and use.

The good: Wide-angle 3.6x optical zoom lens; Intelligent ISO mode; optical image stabilization.

The bad: Noisy images above ISO 400; sluggish shot-to-shot and startup-to-first-shot times.

The bottom line: If you absolutely must have a 12-megapixel compact camera, the DMC-FX100 isn’t a bad choice, but you can find better performing cameras with lower pixel counts for the same money.
