The Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX550 is and upgrade of the FX500, but only just. The extra two megapixels don't make much difference. However build quality, design and performance are all well up to scratch, and image quality is comfortably better than average. If you want an ultra-compact with manual controls it's probably your best option. Read full review

Bought my FX500 after the TR review and have been very pleased with it. Recently I got the instruction book out again as I realised I had slipped into using only i-Auto and had no idea about the rest or what i-Auto was deciding for me! Now, I can use all the bits again :) It is a very versatile & well built camera that can do quick snapshots or the more arty stuff whilst fitting a pocket/belt pouch.

Had an FX500 for 18 months or so. Was generally pleased with it, but somehow dust has got into lens / sensor (despite being carefully looked after) with no obvious way of cleaning it.
