The Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX50 has 7.2 megapixels and an optically stabilized Leica 3.6x zoom lens. It’s features consist of a slew of automatic modes, including 18 scenes and a Simple mode that turns the FX50 into a point-and-shoot digital camera. There is a High Sensitivity scene mode on this model that goes up to ISO 3200 to capture subjects cast in low light without having to use the built-in flash. The body is plainly styled and comes in silver and black colors, and has a huge 3-inch LCD screen on its back. CNET just posted their review of the FX50 here.
"Though it’s hardly a speedster, the DMC-FX50 keeps up with the rest of its class pretty well. After a brief 1.5-second wakeup-to-first-shot interval, it shoots 1.3 seconds apart in good light, and 2 seconds with flash. Typical shutter lag is on the high side at 0.6 second, but competitive in dim light at 1.1 seconds. Depending upon shooting mode, the DMC-FX50 captures a run of between 6 and 8 frames at about 1.7fps."

Follow-up comment rss or Leave a TrackbackA good camera. Small enough to fit in a shirt pocket, it is ready within 2 seconds to take a picture. Pluses: big viewscreen, bright and sharp. Good battery life. Uses SD card. Controls are easy and menus accessible. Pictures are good, but all cameras take good pictures these days.
Bad: Optics are limited, no real wide angle, zoom is limited. Has optical image stabilization (as opposed to digital) so it only works with the optical zoom. When you really need stabilization, at extreme zooms, its not there. Has trouble focusing in relatively low light.
