Description
With four aspherical lenses and six aspherical surfaces, including an EA (Extra High Refractive Index Aspherical) lens, Panasonic's DMC-FX35 Lumix digital camera features a 25mm wide-angle Leica DC Vario-Elmarit lens with a 4x optical zoom that's compact enough to fit in a slim, stylish body. This advanced lens system allows you to capture images with a sense of spatial breadth and depth that simply isn't possible with a 35mm camera. Set the FX35 to iA mode and let the five Intelligent Auto functions team up to help prevent shooting errors. Intelligent Exposure corrects lighting differences, so images come out just the way you see them; Intelligent Scene Selector chooses the mode that best fits the situation; MEGA Optical Image Stabilization (O.I.S.) helps prevent blurring from hand-shake; Intelligent ISO Control helps prevent motion blur; and Face Detection helps produce clear portraits by optimizing the focus and exposure settings. The FX35 can record motion images with sensational 1280 x 720 HD resolution at 30fps. You can use the zoom, too, and capture some truly dramatic shots. f=4.4-17.6mm (35mm Equiv. - 25-100mm) Focal Length 2.5 Diagonal Polycrystalline TFT LCD Display (230K dots) Focusing Area Normal - 50cm - infinity, Macro / Intelligent AUTO / Clipboard - wide 5cm/Tele 50cm - infinity 8 - 1/2,000 sec.

i asked for a recommendation from my friend who is a photographer before i get a camera and he recommended this one. i like it alot.
love the camera

For several years, I have searched the camera world for a digital camera that had the capabilities I required. Finally the digital world is evolving beyond a point and shoot digital. My Lumix camera is wonderful and easy to learn. the buying experience with Amazon is clean, fast, and without a hitch. Kudos.
small size, great pics and HD video
[ Posted: 2008-06-24 ]
The title says it all. OK, one possible shortcoming: You cannot operate the zoom while shooting video. I haven't found it to be a big issue, because I know to plan ahead... and the HD is so good it really doesn't make a big difference.
The camera is durable... it survived all of the (non-water) rides at Disney FL in my pocket for a week with no issues or blemishes to the case. It seems to take very nice photos of very large mice and ducks.
Get the extreme III chip... it allows you to shoot faster photos. That's a key point... if you have kids or other creatures that move quickly, this is a good tool to capture the moment. Burst mode exists, but I've rarely had a need for it.
Decent Camera but it should perform better for the price
[ Posted: 2008-05-30 ]
While I like the camera design and menu layout I'm disappointed with its performance in situations where it is low light. While it does get a picture off they have lots of image noise. I also purchased this camera for its video recording capabilities and while the video looks great although it doesn't seem to focus once you start recording (I can get over this) the sound quality is horrid. Everything I record has so much hissing you can't even hear the sounds. This is the most disappointing part of the camera I really wanted to record small things for my wife but instead I find myself pulling out the full video camera anyhow. Also when taking videos outside if the sun hits the sensor it will turn a portion of the video purple. I'm not sure if this happens on others camera but I never had this problem on my old Sony Cybershot.
This camera has been really good when we are outside at a park and where light is plentiful.
If I was to make this decision again I would probably look at a Canon or Nikon camera. I would not recommend this product.
Good for outdoor wide-angle photos
[ Posted: 2008-04-23 ]
The Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX35S is good for outdoor photos, but indoor flash photos have not met expectations. Using the flash results in circular blotches in some photos, and washed-out yellow-tinged appearance in others. Outdoors, the wide-angle lens has been great for large-group pictures. So far, I have relied only on automatic settings, as I have no particular expertise in photography.
