Review Summary

Reader Score: 7.91 (out of 10)

Review: "The brand new Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX12 carries on the diminutive tradition of the FX series of digital cameras, measuring just 9.4 x 5.1 x 2.4 cms and weighing 150 grams. The FX12 packs in a Leica DC 3x (35-105mm) optical zoom lens with f/2.8 available at the wide-angle setting.

The FX12 takes some of the best elements from the rest of the FX series, while becoming more affordable by using a lens that starts at 35mm and dropping a few features, notably using a low-resolution LCD screen and offering a very slow continuous shooting mode. Image quality is improved since the last generation of Lumix models. Panasonic have improved noise performance, so that ISO 400 on the FX12 is about equal to ISO 200 on the old models, which increases the cameras low-light capabilities. ISO 100-400 still isn't particularly versatile, but the usual excellent optical image stabilization system makes the FX12 a more adaptable camera than its predecessors..."
