Digital camera reviews of Panasonic DMC-FX07K 7.2MP Digital Camera with 3.6x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom (Black)
Digital camera Review: Does what they say it does. Too well
Summary: 3 Stars
I really wish camera manfacturers tried to like me as much as I try to like them. I bought this after needing to replace the Panasonic FX01 (Saint FX01) which was the perfect camera. Light, easy to handle, very sharp images, low noise.
So someone at the Panasonic Staff meeting stands up and says, "Let's take the perfect FX01 and add a noise reduction feature to make every photo look like an oil painting at 100% even at 100 iso!" and no one stops him?
They have ruined this camera and possibly this FX (0 through 1000) line of cameras if they all have that same noise reduction feature.
The plus side? It processes images faster than the new Panasonic TZ3 which is so slow it must run on vacuum tubes.
Digital camera Review: Good with 2 Major Flaws!!!
Summary: 3 Stars
First let me say that this is a great P&S camera, but.....
1. There is a MAJOR problem with noise on these LUMIX cameras above ISO 200. On your screen they look great but they have a terrible noise reduction system that makes the pictures have a "paint splatter" effect. Who cares about I.S. lenses if the noise, not the blur, destroys the images.
2. There is a serious lack of manual controls for a camera of this quality and price.
I own this camera and DO like it but wish it didn't have these problems.
It DOES take great video(which oddly has LESS noise than photos in low light).
You can find articles about the noise issues online if you look.
Thanks
Digital camera Review: Great Camera With Enough Light
Summary: 3 Stars
Outstanding camera that takes great photos when there is enough light, or when flash is used. In low light without flash, such as indoors with ISO 400 or 800 set, or outdoors at twilight, the photos contain too much noise. Can't seem to find a setting that works well for low-light photography. My old Canon A70 does better, though it's much bulkier. The lens stabilization on the Panasonic is a great benefit and works well.Digital camera Review: Great little camera
Summary: 5 Stars
Great little camera.
Its a little point and shoot.
Does great. Had it for 3 years now.
Digital camera Review: Impresses everyone
Summary: 5 Stars
I've been using this camera for 2-years now, and I have never had any problems. Everyone who borrows it is impressed! Panasonic is not the leading name in digital cameras, but this is a really great, simple to-use camera.
