Panasonic Lumix FX35 Review

Topic:

Panasonic introduced the Lumix FX35 10MP camera in January of this year. LetsGoDigital published a review of the FX35 now.
Quote from the review: "Naturally, there are many more compact cameras with a wide angle lens, however; that of the Panasonic FX35 starts at 25mm, and should therefore be considered a genuine wide angle. Panasonic take digital photography seriously, which is not only obvious from the specifications on paper; it also becomes evident when you take an average LUMIX camera into your hands. Read more

Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX3 unveiled

Topic:

Panasonic is introducing the Lumix DMC-LX3, the long-awaited follow-up to the Lumix LX2 of high-end, compact digital still cameras.

The Panasonic Lumix LX3 features a new 1/1.63-inch CCD with 10.1MP resolution. Rather than cramming in the maximum number of pixels possible, it limited the LX3's 1/1.63-inch CCD to 10.1 megapixels. The result is a CCD that provides a generous amount of space for each pixel while offering superb sensitivity and a wide dynamic range made possible by maximizing the size of the photodiode.

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX500 Review

Topic:

PhotographyBlog published a review of the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX500 digital camera.

Quote from the review: "The Panasonic DMC-FX500 is a new 10 megapixel compact camera with an official price of £330 / $399. Sure, you can find it cheaper if you shop around online, but why such a lot for what is just a 10 megapixel camera? The answers lie within the stylish and diminutive metal shell of the FX500. A 25-125mm, 5x optical zoom lens, innovative touch-screen interface, 720p high-definition movies, and full range of creative exposure modes all add up to make this one of the most unique compacts available today. And it’s not very often, in a year of copy-cat cameras, that we get to say that. Read more

Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ3 Review

Our review partner Digital Trends published a review of the Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ3 digital camera.

Quote from the review: "I’m all for mega zoom cameras. With zooms ranging from 10x up to 18x these cameras offer tremendous shooting options for shutterbugs. Want to bring your subject close? The telephoto does it for you. And since they’re much lighter than any D-SLR with a long zoom lens they’re a breeze to carry around. As an added bonus they cost a heck of a lot less. What could be wrong with that? Read more
