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
Nikon's D5100 Digital SLR Camera With 18-55mm Lens delivers a galaxy of professional features in a consumer digital camera.

Panasonic Lumix? DMC-FX01 Digital Camera Rivals Canon SD700

bydkozin Sep 28, 2006
37 Helpfuls 38 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
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 »

Nikon D5100 SLR digital camera 16 MP: A great SLR camera for the money

byyakkowarner Aug 29, 2011
61 Helpfuls 62 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Interchangeable lens, easy to use, lots of features, takes movies and photos, works ...
Cons Price, only 16 mega-pixels, no internal motor, only one control wheel instead of 2.
Recommended it? Yes

This is a 16 mega pixel SLR camera. You have the option to change lens, customize many setting, and you get higher quality pictures as an end product. It is also a faster camera than most point and shoot’s available. I do not have the lag between pressing the picture button and the camera... Read full review »

Best bang for the buck in APS-C DSLR cameras

byaloofyouth Dec 19, 2011
23 Helpfuls 24 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Best bang for the buck DSLR camera in its price/size bracket
Cons Flash lacks commander mode capability
Recommended it? Yes

My user experiences are marked in italics.

The Nikon D5100 is a DSLR camera ("digital single lens reflex" so what you see through the optical viewfinder or on the LCD screen is what you get in the photo; you are literally seeing through the lens, so there is no parallax error). I bought it... Read full review »
