How it works

  • This is Panasonics Lumix DMC FX-500.  Only launched a couple of months ago, it has been made TIPA's "Best Compact Digital Camera in Europe 2008"...
     
  • As you know the TIPA (Technical Image Press Association) have some rather prestigious awards that they hand out, rather sparingly ...
     
  • ... Also, as you know… Panasonic's Lumix range to date has enjoyed lots of awards and accolades.  So what is so new about the FX-500 and why so remarkable?
     
  • Well… here's the TIPA's official line:

'The FX500 is the first of a new family of compact cameras with a 5x, image-stabilized zoom that covers the 25 to 125mm range - ideal for any subject from wide-angle landscapes to telephoto portraits. The images captured by the 10.1 megapixel sensor are processed by the new Venus Engine IV, and ISO sensitivity ranges from 100 to 1600, and from 1600 to 6400 in High Sensitivity mode. The 3-inch touch-screen LCD offers an easy image composition and review. For the more advanced photographer, the FX500 offers a full manual control with an innovative MASP dial solution via the touch-screen.' 

  • Yes - you read it right - a whopping 3 inch touch screen which means you can input text and set focus, for example, by prodding the screen with your finger… or by using the elegant wee stylus gizmo supplied.  And with that size of screen you finally have room enough to take some decent 720p HD video footage.
     
  • Oh… and before we forget, there's intuitive auto functions to produce superb results, great screen visibility even on bright days and what's more, this camera is just plain gorgeous to look at too coming in a choice of classic brushed black or silver.
