Advantages: small light good overall performance. a good buy for family shots and days out. Disadvantages: a little slow to start up high noise levels on large prints.
The lumix.
I borrowed one of these from a friend for a weekend to see if i liked it.
to decide weather to buy one for myself.
1> Looks and feel well it is mainly impressive in this department very sturdy feel to it for such a small camera. the one i had, a two tone finish, was mainly matt with a mirror finish around the top etc. the problem i had here is that i have large hands and the buttons feel a little to small so a little difficult to use.
... ...the flash first off is very descent for a small camera,but i wonder when the companies that create these will put a good quality flash on these so they work at a good distance (over 5m) would be good.
due to the very small button i did not mess around to much in the menus but did not look like there was much in there so mainly automatic settings (point and shoot).
3> picture quality on the whole picture quality was not too bad at all good colour ...

Advantages: Small size and great shots on the move Disadvantages: None really
Love this product and cannot go on about it enough - have used it almost everyday. The build quality is superb and it really feels that it has been put together well. Battery life is great and you will get the whole day out of it easily, I always buy a spare just in case. Memory size is ok, so you will need to buy another memory card to go with it but that is just normal with these cameras. It also features a very simple autofocus function so you ... ...with a load of blurred photos at the end of the week when you come to review them! Would recommend getting the extras with it though - try and get a tripod and a carry case that you can put on your belt or round your neck - if you just put it in your handbag or whatever, you might not be able to get it out in time ti take those very quick shots as something unfolds. ...

Review of Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX33
Advantages: lightweight, differernt colours, huge screen, easy to use, extra software Disadvantages: camera case slightly difficult to fit
...through panasonic and pay extortionate prices.
It also has intelligent auto mode so you don't need to fiddle around with flash settings etc when you just want a quick picture. Face recognition is amazing and makes sure there's no blurriness,
I literally cannot recommend this camera enough, it is amazing! ...

Advantages: sleek, elegant, sharp, attractive Disadvantages: picture quality is not that good
Panasonic has dissappointed us with this product of theirs. It Simply doesnt look to be Panasonic. I have used many 8 mega pixel cameras and this seems to be the worst one. But if you go for the looks and easy handling camera than you could have this as your choice. It has a stylish slim compact body and a wide angle Leica DC lens that can fit a wide image, but you can get this better with a Sony cybershot photography camera, but the cybershot wont ... ...must say. It attracts you the moment you see it. A big Lcd adds to the looks. But if Panasonic works on the function aswell as the form, then i suppose there is going to be nothing like this. To people who wana buy this, i would recommend a Cybershot ...

Advantages: Appearence, efficiency, battery power Disadvantages: Small dial and sometimes not straight forward settings.
I got this camera for christmas a year ago and as somebody not particularly technilogically competant, I find it extremely easy to use. I have experimented with the different settings available (such as soft skin, party, landscape) and find that some of them produce excellent photos. In fact amongst my friends I'm know for having a very flattering camera!
I find that the battery last a long time also, if i go out I tend to take about 30 photos and ... ...screen on the camera is quite large so its easy to see the pictures just taken.
The only downside I would say about this camera is I find the dial to select the mode quite small and a bit fiddily. Other than that I would reccommend this camera, it is efficient and easy to use, plus It looks ncie and fits easily in my pocket. ...

Advantages: nice viewing screen Disadvantages: Doesn't take good pictures
...around £50.00 for. whilst panasonic is certainly a leading name in electronics, Lieca is a leading name in optics. A marrige of the two has shown itself to be completely lacking in both. quite frankly, for taking half decent pictures look elesewhere. My money was wsted on this purchase.
I have a cheap 6m Kodak DX 7630 which produces far better pictures, under all conditions.
Be advised, do not buy this camera, steer well clear of Lumix if you like ...

Advantages: compact, great lens, big viewing screen,easy to use, good battery life Disadvantages: occasional background noise in pictures
Slim, sleak design. This camera is very well built with good features including very nice zoom lens. Other positives include large clear bright screen,easy to use interface and a solid feel, everything from the flap that covers the sockets to the zoom control button. In terms of picture quality it's very good. The auto focus is one of the best I've used. It also has a sturdy shot feature/image stabliser which makes it even easier to take good photos. ... ...display i sunlight, this isn't as much of a problem with this camera. It has a feature for improving the display when you're holding the camera up high, enabling you to still see the display. The anti-red eye feature works well. The battery life is very good, although it's too new to say exactly how long this is.Negatives of the camera include on some shots the image quality can be a little bit noisy, however this is because of the size of the camera ...

Advantages: Large and clear LCD screen, Image stabalization and good price Disadvantages: Noise on large prints
This is an excellent camera and for the price it s great value for money as well. The first thing you notice about the camera when you pick it up is the size of the LCD screen on the back, it could not be any bigger without making the camera bigger. Straight away when I started using this camera, I could work my way round it. Very easy to take photos and view them. The screen provides a good quality iew of the pictures that you have taken. A good ... ...photos of very good quality, and the automatic face detector is good for photos of family's and making sure they are the focus of the picture. The negative I have found is the noise level on the photos when printing large prints, but the noise is not visable on standard sized prints. Overall excellent camera for the price. ...

Advantages: its small neat and its got a Leica lense Disadvantages: none that come to mind, other than it is a Compact Digital, not a DSLR
It seems this is a bit of a marmite camera- either you love it or you hate it. Well I LOVE IT. bought for me as a 40th birthday present by my wife. having worked in the camera industry for over 16 years, I knew of Panasonics marriage with Leica, and always found them to be perfect partners. And I was not dissapointed this time either. Once again they have not let the side down. My FX33 goes everywhere with me, and alongside my trusty OM1n and my ... ...am very pleased with the results, it does exactly what I expect it to do, and then some. OK its not up to the standards of 6x45 slide film, but it certainly does well enough when I need that quick record shot. Great edge to edge sharpness, spot on focusing. Probably its only downfall is the flash, some times seems a little too sensitive.
I would not hesitate to recomend it to friends, whatever their photographic experiance, just remember it is only ...
