Panasonic introduces the 6-megapixel, 3.6x optical zoom DMC-FX01, the next-generation model of the stylish and compact MEGA Optical Image Stabilizer-equipped FX series. The FX series boasts high picture quality, a large LCD and a slim, stylish design. The DMC-FX01 features a remarkable upgrade from previous FX models, with the newly incorporated 28mm wide angle 3.6x optical zoom LEICA DC lens, while still maintaining the same compact body size. The wide angle shooting capability offers a new array of photographic opportunities, such as capturing an entire group portrait at parties, or an expansive landscape or architectural scene, to enjoy the benefit of wide panoramas with real perspectives. In addition to MEGA Optical Image Stabilization, the FX01 features a new High Sensitivity mode3, which allows shooting at a maximum sensitivity setting of ISO 1600. Less

Canon's "A" series digicams have been very popular with consumers since the introduction of the revolutionary little A20. When it came time to update the groundbreaking A75, Canon's R&D folks stuffed everything that made the A75 a best in class digicam (excellent image quality, Point & Shoot... Read full review »

Canon PowerShot A510 Digital Camera - Compact and Cheap, But Flexible

bydkozin Aug 3, 2005
41 Helpfuls 42 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Excellent optics for low price and compact size, uses 2 AA batteries, features, 4x zoom
Cons Flash creates shadow in corner in Macro mode and overexposes unless you use ISO50/f8
Recommended it? Yes

A replacement for the last year's Canon A75, the 3.2-Megapixel Canon PowerShot A510 is currently available at rather low prices. I got mine for $161 after coupons including taxes and shipping at Dell. I also got the 4-Megapixel A520 to see the difference for only $20 more. Your mileage may vary... Read full review »

Panasonic Lumix? DMC-FX01 Digital Camera Rivals Canon SD700

bydkozin Sep 28, 2006

Pros Long battery life, image stabilization, low price, image quality, wide angle, compact
Cons Slightly higher noise than Canon SD700, black case prone smudges, LCD washes out in...
Recommended it? Yes

After using and selling the Canon SD700 IS, I have purchased the Panasonic DMC-FX01. The FX01 is similar to the Canon SD700: it has compact design, large LCD and optical image stabilization. The Canon SD700 is slightly more compact, the Panasonic FX01 has a wide angle lens and sells for $100 less... Read full review »

A small camera compromise champion

byhow2buy101 Jun 24, 2006
13 Helpfuls 14 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Take-it-all-in wide angle: point and click almost always gets a useable picture.
Cons Relatively noisy (mostly chrominance), noticeable in large blowups. No zoom in movie mode.
Recommended it? Yes

Ease of use matters!

When it comes to cameras, it's easy to let your desire for perfection get in the way of letting you take as many pictures as you should. I ooh and ah over the gorgeous, near noiseless photos from my Digital Rebel SLR (also 6 megapixels). There I can save the RAW... Read full review »
