Abstract: The FX500 is the first of a new family of compact cameras with a 5x, image-stabilized zoom that covers the 25 to 125mm range – ideal for any subject from wide-angle landscapes to telephoto portraits. The images captured by the 10.1 megapixel sensor ar...
25mm wide angle, 5x range and stabilisation, Full manual control, Touch screen with sensible operation, HD video recording but no zoom.
Noise becomes a problem above 200 ISO, Flagship model, but no RAW files, HD movies still no match for a camcorder, TZ5s 10x zoom tempting at same or lower price.

Abstract: There are plenty of really good digital cameras on the market, solid products with good innovations. Most of them can safely be rated either good or better. The 10.1 megapixel Lumix DMC-FX500 falls into the much better category of pocket sized digital...
Abstract: The ten-megapixel Panasonic Lumix FX500 is a sophisticated camera. Its brushed metallic surface, slim, well-placed flash, and 25mm-to-125mm Leica 5x optical zoom lens are appealing, but its key feature is the three-inch touch-screen display. The touch...
Abstract: The Panasonic DMC FX500 is a 10 megapixel digital camera with a 5x optical zoom lens. It has more features than any other pocket sized camera I have reviewed. Why Buy the Panasonic DMC FX500?If you are looking for a feature rich pocket camera then you...
