Advantages: Sexy, powerful, incredibly easy-to-use, challenging, with amazing new features Disadvantages: No carry case, no viewfinder, slowish zoom, short self-timer
...(wide-angle 3.6x zoom lens). The Panasonic technology also means that you get particularly good image clarity; no problems with blurring. There's also a great telephoto setting that really enhances the zoom - these are the best photos I've ever seen taken on a point-and-click camera.
COLOR: A nice selection of options; Standard, Natural, Vivid (a little too vivid to be of much use, but whatever), Black and White, Sepia, Cool or Warm.
SIZE: Unusually ... ...this sooner or later, the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX55 takes a LOT of the pain away through its great new Intelligent Auto mode, which automatically detects the situation and chooses the settings that'll give you the best picture. Five "environmental" settings detected by the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX55 mode are Portrait, Landscape, Macro, Night Portrait and Night Scenery.
There's also something called O.I.S. Mode that offers an anti-shake to compensate ...

Advantages: Small and light, OIS technology, lots of ISOs, long life Li-ion rechargeable battery Disadvantages: 3.6x Optical zoom
Hello, I wasted tons of time looking for "the perfect digital camera", but the search just stopped with the lumix Fx55eb.
Lumix called my attention with its optical image stabilizer technology (mega O.I.S.) which fight against blurred images, this tech compensate for handshake and movement of the subject, amazing!.
Try it walking, running or riding a motorcycle and no more blurred picture.
Another point is the camera got 7 ISOs, that's mean you ... ...seen a picture where the person got all the flash and the background is dark??, not anymore, with the auto ISO.
for example: If the subject is moving, the ISO setting would automatically rise to allow high shutter speed. On the other hand, if the subject is still and no movement is detected, you can take beautiful natural images with a low ISO setting.
Dont go for the Megapixel, remember that you only need two-megapixel if you want to make 4x6-inch ...

...your friends!
Being a Panasonic Lumix means it uses a high quality Leica lense which is 28mm wide angle allowing for some brilliant 16:9 pictures. The video mode on the camera records in high quality with decent sound quality. The camera also comes with a AV cable for connection to televisions to showcase pictures and videos on big screen. The camera features 'intelligent auto' mode which works out all the settings for you as well as anti-shake ...

Advantages: Well built, stylish, nice label, works very, very well Disadvantages: Too many settings - just something missing
I was lured to this camera by the Leica branded lense and smart black casing. Underneath this sytlish exterior lies an excellent camera, with build quality and functions that are beyond what I expected from the price. I bougt it after spending ages searching the internet and was finally convinved when I found that the very, very similar Leica branded model was more than twice the £106 price tag of this one.
The camera is a good weight, light enough ... ...Funcionality is good, though some of the menus are a little idiosincratic - there are a vast array of different automated settings for different occasions which are pretty irrelevant. Some of the modes, such as macro for close up and dull ighting indoors actually seem to make pictures worse. I found some of the pre-set shutter speeds/sensor radius very useful - for most outdoor shots, I pick one of these rather than fiddling with the different options. ...

Advantages: amazing quality pictures, great iso Disadvantages: camera case may be a little bulky
I was looking for a camera that would be good enough to take to concerts. i was recommended this one , and being a fan of going to concerts this one is perfect! Normally the light in a dark place makes the photos dark with so many shoot modes you can choose to get the perfect balance I went to see take that and as they are moving a lot, a normal camera would come out blury. but the ISO of up to 1600 kicks in leaving no blurry images, and great shots ... ...in the middle of the arena and still got good images of the stage with the zoom. The video function is also very good. i am vey pleased the quality it perfect! very crisp and clear and the sound is really clear too, the quality of a camcorder. The images are very big in size! my 1 gb sd card holds about 300 images.The quality of the images are perfect. very crisp and clear , on portraits you can see every detail. its quite scary as it shows every ...

Advantages: Everything, features, picture standard, easiness of use, light, compact, stylish, generally awesome! Disadvantages: None
When I first got this camera for my birthday last year, i thought 'oh jees, it looks complicated!' But then after using it for about 10 minutes I grasped all the ways of changing settings and understood it really easily! You definitely don't need to be a technology geek to figure this camera out, even if somebody as thick as a brick could use this camera no problem!
The camera is stylish, compact and not heavy, and if travelling and you need the ... ...excellent feature on this camera is the shutter - the speed automatically changes to suit whether you are moving fast or slow, and takes perfect pictures with no blurring each and every time. If you have shaky hands like me, the camera shake facility stops pictures being shaky or blurred, and they come out perfect!
This is my dream camera, I haven't even contemplated regretting getting this! ...
