Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX01

I am the proud owner of this Lumix and love it to bits.I have had 3 previous digital cameras. The first was a huge Casio QV 3500 EX (see my previous review) which I purchased in 2000 and is a museum piece now - how rapidly these machines have advanced since then. Even at 3 Megapix it did take some great photos though. The second which I purchased in 2004 was a much more modern Pentax - great little camera but I lost it and the reason was that it was in one of those velcro wallets which you are supposed to put on your belt. I know it must have fallen off when I was getting out of my car and I ... more

This is one of the best digital cameras on the market. When I first decided that I needed a new camera, I set out to find one that looked smart, had the functions I required, and was slim enough to fit into my pocket like a phone.

The camera has been an excellent buy. Here are the key points when considering this camera: The build quality is first class and the look of the camera is really stylish. This is a camera that is very easy to use. The mode dial is easy to operate - you can move easily from picture mode to filming ... more

Hi everyone, I work as a promotions model and during the summer, my agency wished me to promote this camera in John Lewis. I was given the Panasonic FX01 to use for the duration of the promotion and I loved it so much, Im going to buy one (after the Christmas deby has cleared!) I hated having to send it back :( Firsty, 6 megapixels - more than enough for family snaps. You can print up to sizes of a few feet with a pixel count this high. Dont be swayed by cams offering 9 megapixels for example if you are only looking for family/holiday pics, you will pay more and not see a difference in the ... more
