Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX50 Details

Editors' Comments

The Panasonic DMC-FX50, and its twin, the DMC-FX07, have a lot in common. It would seem that the major difference between the two cameras is the LCD screen, which is 3.0 inches on this model, and 2.5 inches on the FX07. If that's worth an extra $50 or so, then this is the camera for you. The FX50 is still a very affordable ultracompact with a huge 7.2 megapixel sensor and 3.6x digital zoom. Such specs would have been unthinkable at this price just a year ago. The FX50 comes in four colors: red, silver, black, and blue, adding a sense of style and personality to an already appealing camera.
