Panasonic Lumix FX10
Editor's Review
Available in blue, black, or silver, the Panasonic FX10 rounds out the low end of their new 2007 line. With 6-megapixels (as opposed to the companion model FX12's 7), this camera has more than enough resolution for the typical user, but may not be the best value considering how 7-megapixel cameras are becoming more prevalent. In any case, the FX10 is a compact camera with decent, middle-of-the-road specifications. If you think this might be just enough for you, check out the FX12 before you make a final decision.

Panasonic DMC-FX10 pictures are no longer sharp (FX10Q — 08/07/2009)
My wife and I each have a Panasonic DMC-FX10 (no suffix) camera. I noticed that pictures lately taken with my camera weren't sharp compared the ones taken with my wife's camera. So I took some carefully staged comparison shots and there definitely is a difference in quality. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Reset teh camera. Your firmware may be corrupted and resetting it will reload it and get the camera back to default settings. I'd also check with Panasonic for a firmware update. That should solve the issue.

Nikon Coolpix L11 vs. Olympus FE210 (rebelcamsx2 — 12/20/2007)
I already have two good digicams, but I want something slim enough to carry daily. I like the Kodak M853 but everyone gives it bad reviews. So between these two the Coolpix L11 or the FE210... which would be better. I'm looking for a digicam for under $150, and I like a li-ion battery those these use AA. I need some fast input. Thank you.

Jay,
Both of these cameras use AA batteries, so I'm not sure you're going to get what you want out of them. If I had to choose between them, I would go with the Nikon L11 ( digitalcamera-hq.com/digita... ). It has slightly larger ISO capabilities (better for low lighting, but not the highest out there at 800), and I've used Nikon CoolPix cameras before and found them very easy to use.
I would also like to suggest you look at the Panasonic FX10 ( digitalcamera-hq.com/digita... ). It has a lithium ion battery, is a sub-compact camera that will easily fit in your pocket, and it has an ISO range up to 3200. While you will notice more noise or "graininess" in your photos at this setting, it will perform better in low light situations. It also has image stabilization, which the other two cameras don't, and costs as low as $130 right now. Good luck and happy shooting.

After debating about which digicam to get, I fell back to the things I liked about the camera. I liked the Nikon because it tells you when a shot is blurred or not, which is better than thinking it's good but is not once it's on your computer. I went some place and happily found it for less than $95, and it has 6mp and 3x zoom. Thank you very much Andrew, and Happy New Year to you.

Is it worth spending extra money to get the features on the panasonic FX33 over the FX10? (crh83 — 11/26/2007)

I want to use the camera to do a range of things such as scenery and people pics. Camera also needs to last at least for the next couple of years.

Corinne,
Personally, I don't see much value in the few extra options of the FX30 ( digitalcamera-hq.com/digita... ); I would purchase the FX10 ( digitalcamera-hq.com/digita... ), if I was picking between the two. The higher ISO settings will help you in lower light situations, and you can't beat the price.

I SHOOT MAINLY AT 80 ISO AND CROP TO 4X6 IS 10 MP BEST OR IS 6MP (BOBG38P — 04/11/2007)
I HAVE THREE KODAK EASY'S - 643 +CX AND DX - I WANT TO GET BETTER PIX THE C (3.2) SEEMS TO TAKE LESS DISTORTED PIX THAN THE DX (5.0) AND EVEN THE 643 AT 6.2 IS NOT AS GOOD THEY ALL SHOW "SAWTOOTH" ON EDGES AND I CAN SEE PIXELS ???
I AM CONSIDERING A640 CANON AT 10 MP
I USED TO SHOOT A NIKON 35MM AT SMALL LENS OPENING WITH THE CAMERA CHOOSING SHUTTER SPEED FOR SHARPER PIX AND ALWAYS USED 80 ISO OUTDOORS AND 200 INDOORS
HELP ME CHOOSE - I AM RETIRED AND WOULD LOVE TO OWN A SLR DIG. BUT $$$$ - I'D LIKE TO STAY UNDER 250.00 IF POSS.

Well since you looking to not get huge stills i would say you will be totally fine with a 6MP camera. They will be perfectly clear even if taken alrage images then cropped. Make sure you are cropping and not magnifying.
A great new camera that I would recommed is the Panasonic Lumix FX10 ( digitalcamera-hq.com/digita... ), it has 6MP, great image stablization good ISO range, good price, new technology. I would stay away from Refurbished cameras unless you are really desperate for a cheap SLR.
Good Luck
