Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX500

(8/8/08)
Summary: Weżve seen some touchscreen cameras crash and burn because they try simply to migrate a button interface to a touch screen. But weżre impressed with the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX500, whose hybrid touch-button interface is easy to learn. Unfortunately, despite its optical image stabilization, Intelligent Auto Mode, and 720p video recording,... Read the full review
Pros: ; Responsive touchscreen Excellent optical image stabilization Long battery life
Cons: ; Photos appear underexposed Mediocre video quality

Summary: Read the full review
Pros: ; 25mm wide angle, 5x range and stabilisation. * Full manual control. * Touch screen with sensible operation. * HD video recording but no zoom.
Cons: ; Noise becomes a problem above 200 ISO. * Flagship model, but no RAW files. * HD movies still no match for a camcorder. * TZ5's 10x zoom tempting at same or lower price.

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX500 Review

(5/30/08)
Summary: I'll get this out of the way up front: the combination of manual exposure control, processing fine-tuning options, and a touch screen interface simply don't come together in any other camera currently in Panasonic's line or any other camera on the market, for that matter. The FX500 offers some serious power where exposure and processing... Read the full review
Pros: ; Redesigned wide-angle lens still good Vibrant color with just the right amount of saturation by default Manual exposure control, processing options are appealing Novel interface actually works surprisingly well most of the time Solid build quality and a stylish overall package
Cons: ; Auto white balance is all over the map Noisy sensor means grainy images at all sensitivities Touch screen can be finicky, inconsistent in implementation Limitations on video mode negate some of its 720p power Cost too high for performance gains?

Verdict: Panasonic does it again with the cracking Lumix DMC-FX500, a point-and-shoot with a great lens, large and responsive touchscreen and a list of features as long as your arm
Pros: ; Clever touchscreen; intuitive manual exposure control; loads of features; build quality
Cons: ; Fiddly joystick; noise performance isn't outstanding
