Excellent design; advanced shooting options; good use of touch-screen interface; 25mm wide-angle lens; 720p movie capture.
Noticeable shutter lag; controls take some getting used to; no optical zoom in Movie mode.
The Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX500 is a very good ultracompact camera with a lot of shooting flexibility. Its just its slow performance thats keeping it from achieving excellence.

That bizarre digital zoom arrangement Panasonic prefers which makes you change image size to zoom in, Touch screen isnt really necessary (except to choose a Record mode), Intelligent Auto is sluggish, Flat color gets overprocessed, Very high luminance...
The Panasonic FX500 has a very nice build, a good control system, and some very interesting features. It also has some features that are just simply unnecessary, especially the touch screen.The touch screen is only required to make a Record mode choice...
Responsive touchscreen, Excellent optical image stabilization, Long battery life
Photos appear underexposed, Mediocre video quality
As far as touchscreen cameras go, the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX500 is the most intuitive we’ve seen yet. But it loses points for its less-than-spectacular image quality. Although far from terrible, we were disappointed with our underexposed pictures, p...
The new Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX500 bucks the trend of most 2008 cameras. Instead of building on an already proven design and incorporating a few bright ideas that enhance rather than revolutionize, the FX500 takes the FX-series by the scruff of the nec...
The Panasonic Lumix FX500's responsiveness was excellent, with almost no lag time between when we pressed the shutter and when pictures wrote to the card, even at the highest quality setting. This characteristic, combined with the Panasonic Lumix FX50...
