Editor's Review

The FX35 is old by digital camera standards. Take a look at a new Panasonic point-and-shoot model, like the FH20. The specs are more impressive, and it costs less. Here's what we had to say about the FX35 when it was released in January 2008:

The Panasonic Lumix FX35 is a mid-range point & shoot camera with two big hooks: an extra-wide 25mm lens and HD (1280x720 pixel) video recording and output. While it lacks manual controls, the camera's solid, stabilized 4x optical zoom and easy operation, paired with the abovementioned marquee features, make it an enticing gadget camera. The FX35 also automatic shooting mode that chooses the best ISO setting, shutter speed, image stabilization, and so on in order to produce evenly exposed images in all conditions. In total, this is a good buy for the consumer who wants to just grab and go, and not have to worry about a secondary video recorder.

Recommend other point & shoot with wide angle (25mm) and large aperature (f/2.8)? (pchow — 08/21/2009)

I like the FX35 25mm wide angle and small 2.8 f-stop. But many reviewers say the picture quality is so-so. This camera is primarily for online, web pics. If I do print anything it won't be bigger than 8x10, but mostly 4x6. Will the "so-so" picture quality be evident in these smaller print sizes? Wondering also if I'm placing too much emphasis on low f-stop. I've always read get the best glass. Would a f/3.3 much a huge difference in being able to shoot in low light situations?

Can you recommend any other compact digital camera with similar wide angle, low f-stop, but better picture quality? Some other cameras I considered:

DMC-ZS1

Canon SD880IS

Thanks!

A lower F Stop means a faster lens, which means a better low light image. Panasonic is making great cameras right now. But so is Canon. Of the others you mention, I'd go with the SD880IS.

I do a lot of close ups for my e-bay store, but also need a general purpose vacation style camera. Would this be a good choice? (edsaa — 11/11/2008)

Highly ranked. But frankly, I think that the macro setting is rather poor for an eBay camera. For comparison, you may want to check out this resource ( imaging-resource.com/IMCOMP... ). It takes pictures with each and you can compare them side by side. You'll find much better options for what you need it for.

Is the TZ5 as small and comapct as the FX35, as i am stuck between buying the FX 35 and TZ5 for my husband. (KLopez58 — 07/04/2008)

Iam stuck between buying the FX 35 or the TZ5 for my husband. It needs to be able to fit in his pocket, but not compromise on zoom and image quality, as he also needs to take shots of properties and views

I also like the sound of the wide angle lens of the the FX 35 at 25mm. Which is the better one for recording and videoing as i've heard the zoom is not as good.

I am rather confused as people have been recommending some of the casio or canon models.

Which in your view is the best pocket sized digital camera with all the mod cons priced at around 300 euros

I would avoid Casio at all costs. For everyone I talk to tells me they wish they have purchased a different camera. Canon is highly ranked and top notch.

As for these two, I'd say it's pretty much a horse race. Although I think the FX35 brings more noise to the party, particularly at high ISOs in low light. That would point me towards the TZ5, although it has no viewfinder, which means a larger LCD and a greater battery drain.

Back to Canon. Check on the SD line. Particularly the SD 1100 and the SX100. If you like a larger zoom, then the S5IS is a good one. The Nikon P80 is also good for it's extended zoom.

FX 35 vs. TZ5? (sconner52 — 06/12/2008)

For a realtor who needs to take property photos, sometimes in tight spaces, which one of these is better?

reply to this comment

steve mccall (06/12/2008)

my choice would be the tz3.

longer zoom than fx 35 and better build quality

unless you need the hd video features of the tz5 the tz3 has all the tz5's main features.

example:tz3 in action.
