Panasomix Lumix DMC FX520

Sep 12, 2008

Rating: 9 out of 10 (Spectacular)
Pros: Picture Qualities are Good, Easy Maneuvering & Navigation, Good Manual Controls.
Cons: Video's: Can't Zoom while Shooting, exposure are PAR
Opinion:
Just got the camera three days ago and i am very impress with the FX520. The iA features provides users with 0 knowledge or experience to operates the camera and yet shoot a good quality images like a pro.

It delivers a very good picture quality and easy maneuvering and controls of your camera.

The 3" touch screen LCD are very handy not like the Sony DSC T300 where all the controls are on the screen...it's slows down your navigation.

After three days of using it...overall i would say it meets my expectation and i was very happy with the buy. Thumb up for Panasonix Lumix DMC FX520, worth buying.

Pros: 5x zoom, focus selection on touch screen display, lots of manual function
Cons: image quality badly reduced above ISO200. Touch screen display is a little useless since it mainly depends on the joystick.
Opinion:
Fair price for the product.

I really like the focus function by touching the LCD display. But LCD menu functions and drop-down selections mainly depends on the joystick.

Unlike other Panasonic Cameras, this FX520 has a manual function. Exposure, etc. is highly adjustable.

This camera shouldn't be your first choice. Look at other cameras before making your decision to purchase this product.

Pros: Wide Angle, Good iA feature, Good Video capture and good size screen
Cons: Poor picture quality, various noise and insensitive ISO
Opinion:
Camera is absolutely feature rich; Super wide angle shots and good video quality; Nice iA features, ability to touch the subject you want to focus on is awesome.

Comparing to Canon IXUS 860IS that my neighbor owns, the picture quality of DMC-FX520 is far far at the loosing side. Unable to capture the accurate lighting, especially under yellow light and blue light is the GREAT DISADVANTAGE for FX520. Picture comes out to be grainy and smudgy, displaying numerous compression artifacts and various noise.
