The Panasonic FX48 offers a number of striking features in a small, convenient package. A powerful 5x MEGA image-stabilizes optical zoom and 12.1-megapixel resolution allows users to get up close to the action without losing any color quality or image sharpness. Additionally, users can record High Definition motion images at 30 fps. Intelligent Auto and Face Recognition technology afford users a great degree of technical control. The FX48 utilizes SD/SDHC memory cards for easy storage and sharing of photos.

Grade A FH20 vs Grade B FX48 (Harry — 09/26/2010)

I am not convinced by your reviews.

You are giving FH20 an A grade but gave a B grade to this camera.

There must be something wrong.

Older camera and significantly more expensive, hence the lower grade. FH20 is a better value for the money.

Taking pictures of archival text material (eglewis70 — 06/09/2009)

We are primarily interested in a pocket size digital camera that will take clear pictures of text materials. Often the text is 19th and 20th century handwriting of historical handwritten documents in national archives. Thank you

Just about any digital camera will work for this, although some have specific presets which will optimize the camera to shoot text images. Where you really want to spend your money is on a good light box setup to light the material evenly. Hammacher Schlemmer has a great one which includes 3 small fill lights for about $80.
