I recieved this camera as a present,and I think it's a great little camera,which produces sharp.colouful 10x8 prints without any problems.
Obviously at higher ISOs it's gets a bit noisy,but how often does that become a problem?
The flash works well,and it has loads of different modes for most situations.
I have had various cameras over the years,my latest a Nikon D60.
This of course can produce first class prints,but the little FX35 is so portable(it fits in my pocket) I usually take that with me,as I think I am getting past lugging heavy camera bags about.For it's size it's amazing,it certainly surprised me with the results it can produce,and it's beautifully made.
Even the macro mode works well,and if I put a A4 print of one of my roses,taken with the FX35,against one taken with the D60,it's certainly hard to tell them apart with the naked eye.
I think therefore that you are wrong with your comments about the FX35,I think it's a little gem!!
Just look at te test pictures. Reviewer writes that the ISO 100 test shot quality is extremely good.
I cannot see what is "extremely good" when you look at the yellow inside part of the green car. There are really awful artefacts, which are not present at similiar shots on other comparable cameras. I agree this is a good little camera, but how such defects can be ignored, and how such quality can get 9/10 rating?!
what are the differences with the LUMIX DMC-LS5 (besides the video definition and the wide-angle 25 vs. 30) ? Which one is the best in low light / high ISO ?
Right. Amazon sent me a replacement and collected the old camera. Difference is amazing. Suspect the old one was a 'returned and cleaned up' model. Bit naughty, but no issues with Amazon - just swapped it straight away.
New camera is great. Sharp images, amazing colour definition, easy to use. I have a D40x - not as good as that, but tiny in comparison. A good 9/10 from me.
This is a real gem of a camera. I was looking for a genuine take-everywhere camera to complement my DSLR. After much searching around I finally decided on the FX35, choosing it over the FX500 (price) and IXUS870 (just that little bit bulkier).
The image quality is superb and the thing is built like a tank. It feel wonderful in the hand (remember it's basically a Leica in many respects!!!).
Yes, there's noise. BUT that's easily solved by either improving your compositional skills so that you shoot consistently more with a low ISO, or you simply invest in some noise reduction software. You won't even see it anyway if you're printing snapshots or medium prints taken at under ISO400. So, don't worry about that!
After having this camera for two years now,I still give it top marks for excellent quality photographs,particularly in interiors.I went to Florence last year and photographed various paintings,and was very pleased with the results,which were very sharp,with spot on exposures,and vivid,lifelike, colours.
The anti-shake worked perfectly in the subdued lighting,as flash wasn't allowed,but it didn't matter!
They made very good A4 prints,so I can confirm again that this camera is truly a little marvel,and is so easy to use!
Certainly ideal for holidays,and just slipping in your pocket"just in case".
Panasonic are really to be congratulated on their excellent cameras,,all with remarkable Leica lenses.
