Product Description

Manufacturer's Description

Panasonic is proud to introduce the new Lumix 6 megapixel DMCFX01 digital still camera. The latest addition to the award winning FX series boasts a whole host of features including a 28mm wide angle LEICA DC lens with 3.6x optical zoom, all encompassed within a beautifully slim and compact design - thanks to the incorporation of an Extra High Refractive Index Lens.

This new lens allows photographers to easily capture a large group of people, or expansive architectural structures and landscapes with dynamic width and rich perspective. The lens part of the DMC-FX01 comprises of seven elements in six groups, incorporating four aspherical lenses to generate high optical performance.

Panasonic is the first manufacturer to have successfully incorporated Optical Image Stabiliser (OIS) into its compact cameras, a feature strongly appreciated worldwide and now considered to be a standard requirement of photography. O.I.S minimizes the jitter from shaky hands that causes many photos to look blurred by shifting the O.I.S lens unit to keep the optical axis aligned straight against the CCD, to ensure images are captured with supreme clarity and sharpness.

The DMC-FX01 incorporates the Venus Engine Plus LSI which allows you to take 320 pictures on one charge, providing high performance image processing while consuming only 70% of the energy compared with the Venus Engine II. Spontaneous moments can easily be captured thanks to a 1.6 second start up time (20% less than the predecessor DMC-FX9) and a 0.005 second shutter release time lag (the time taken between pressing the button on the camera and the photo being taken.)

The DMC-FX01 really will work hard to ensure you capture every moment important to you. The various Auto Focus methods can be selected according to the shooting environment and the position of the subject: 5 point, 3 point high-speed, 1-point high speed, 1-point normal-speed and spot. The remarkably quick AF response time, especially in the 1-point high speed AF mode, achieves outstanding focusing with both speed and precision. Panasonic has also included an AF assist lamp, providing further assistance in low light situations where focusing can be difficult.

In addition to standard VGA(640x480) motion image recording, as featured on the DMC-FX9, the DMC-FX01 also records stunning full-size movies in wide-aspect VGA (840x480) at 30fps, enabling you to view your recordings on a widescreen television.

The Lumix DMC-FX01 boasts a 207K pixel high resolution, 2.5" large LCD. The pixel-mixed readout method performed by the CCD automatically increases the brightness level of the live image on the LCD, which greatly facilitates shooting in low light situations.

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant, 4 Sep 2006
By Joshua P. MOORE (Warwick, Warwickshire United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I have put mine through its paces this summer, taking it to Ireland, France and Norway. These are three very different places, with different scenery and lighting conditions. In all of the locations I have had great photos with brilliant detail and colour.

It is well worth getting a high speed card. I'm using a 1GB Sandisk UltraII card and it's great. (I did notice much longer write times on standard / lower-end cards).

The battery goes a lot further than Panasonic let on.

It's very well built, looks great, takes great photos, & is very compact, yet easy to handle. What more do you need from a compact? If you want any more, go for an SLR. It doesn't have any annoying or battery sapping `gimmicky' features that some companies add to falsely win you over. Anyone who can take a decent photo doesn't need them.

This camera does its job perfectly and I would highly recommend it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Love it love it love it, 1 Jul 2006
This is my first digital camera, and I couldn't be happier with it. I'm not an expert and I can't give you a sophisticated comparison with other models, but I can say it's easy and fun to use, gives lovely clear photos, and as far as I'm concerned is worth every penny. Although it has lots of sophisticated settings which are not hard to get to grips with, it takes perfectly good pictures even in the point-and-shoot "simple" mode. The wide-angle lens is also a real plus. A delight.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great sturdy camera but with limitations, 14 Aug 2006
By Avinash Chowdhury "avi_007" (Bristol, U.K) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
First things first- well done Amazon on dispatching my camera with accessories way before the estimated date! Arrived in great condition and within 4 days of ordering! The camera is really good- took snapshots and movies with no problem. The navigation is also easy to use and go through.

One big limitation (depends if you really use it for this purpose) is that you cannot use the focus during movie mode. This is a bit strange since I know the Canon Ixus 50 can do this and it is cheaper! Makes me think what I paid the extra money for- I was even thinking of returning it at one stage.

However, the compact size, together with tonnes of features and ease of use make it a great buy! I would however think about other cameras that have similar specs and that don't cost as much. If however you are going to use this primarily as a camera, I would definitely go for it!
