Abstract: The Panasonic FS25 is a pleasure to use, and has the impressive performance associated with the Lumix range. Metering is reliable, as is white balance, while overall image quality is impressive.
Panasonic has upgraded their popular ultra-compact Lumix DMC-FS20 from last year with the DMC-FS25. Improvements consist of more resolution at 12-megapixels and a more versatile 5x optical zoom. Most all of the FS25s other features have been passed do...
Abstract: Panasonic’s Lumix DMC-FS25 is a compact travel-sized camera that was released at the beginning of this year. It has a 12MP sensor, 5x optical zoom, and a 3-inch LCD, making it competitive with upper-tier point-and-shoot modes from companies like Canon,...
Stylish good looks, Responsive zoom with wide angle, Variable brightness LCD, Lots of Scene modes.
Switch for play instead of button, Flimsy battery cover, Face detection poor in low light, Some gimmicky scene modes.
The Panasonic Lumix DMC-FS25 is a stylish, slim compact that looks good, feels comfortable to hold and produces good quality images. Its 5x optical zoom includes wide-angle coverage and is well suited to general purpose photography from group shots to...
Small, solid build, Handsome design, 29-145mm zoom range, Intelligent Auto mode is quick to pick a suitable exposure mode, Optical image stabilization works very well, Face detection, Joystick controller works well, Intelligent ISO mode raises exposure...
Zoom is a little slow to respond, Auto white balance doesnt handle Tungsten as well as it could, Some corners are soft, Slow autofocus results in long shutter lag times, Cycle time is also slow, taking 3.25 seconds between shots in single-shot mode
Trim and compact, the Panasonic FS25 offers intelligent automatic shooting and a good-quality, 5x Leica lens to balance its 12-megapixel sensor. Overall image quality is good, with low distortion from the lens at wide angle, and only moderate chromatic...
Easy to use, Stylish and sleek, Compact and great for traveling,
Unpredictable results, Poor ISO performance, AF too slow, Image quality not up to par,
Compared to the FS20, the FS25 boasts some significant enhancements including more zoom power, more resolution and better Intelligent Auto, but that may not be enough of a reason for somebody to upgrade to the FS25. Images are pretty hit or miss when u...
29mm wide-angle Leica lens; very good image quality and battery life.
Mini-joystick navigation is finicky; buttons are a bit small.

Plain aesthetics, Lack of manual controls, Button placement makes setting difficult while shooting
Panasonics DMC-FS25 is in most regards a standard 12.1-megapixel point-and-shoot, though the lens is a bit more generous than some at 5x zoom and the LCD is a full 3-inch display. Priced at $249.95, it lacks the manual controls that appeal to more ...
