Panasonic Lumix FX40 / FX48 Review

Steves Digicams have reviewed the new Panasonic Lumix FX40 / FX48 - it features a 25mm Ultra Wide-angle 5x Optical Zoom lens with optical image stabilisation, 2.5" screen, 12 megapixel sensor, HD video (720p, 30fps), HD Output, and intelligent auto mode. It's available in silver, red and black for £197, and takes SD memory cards.

"Panasonic's Lumix DMC-FX48 is a decent little 12-megapixel model. The iAuto exposure mode will allow anyone to pick this camera up and start capturing usable photos. While the FX48 offers some very appealing features, great HD video mode, and a nice wide lens, its image quality and performance results are not quite up to par with other models in this price range."

"The Panasonic Lumix DMC FX40 takes bright colourful pictures. I found the pictures could start to soften round the edges and is likely to start to show as you make larger prints. Aside from that point I like the features and ease of use the camera offers."
