Panasonic Lumix DMC FS62 review and ratings
The Panasonic Lumix DMC FS62 is an excellent little camera. It is one of the cheapest pocket cameras on the market at the time of writing this review. Yet despite its low price it is able to give many a more expensive digital camera a run for their money. To start with I like the way the Lumix DMC FS62 looks. There is a simplicity about its design and in this instance I think it is a case of less is more. There are five different colour versions so you should be able to find one that suits your taste. The colours are black, silver, blue, pink and red.
As with other Panasonic digital cameras I found the Lumix DMC FS62 very easy to use. The menu system is straightforward and there is also a quick menu option that gives you fast access to key settings you may wish to fine tune.
The only real compromise is when it comes to shutter delay. Alas this is an area that is likely to be of critical importance to many people. This camera is noticeably slower to respond than a lot of more expensive digital cameras. At this price something has to give somewhere. The LCD screen is also slightly smaller than standard at 2.5 inches.
One area where no compromises have been made is when it comes to picture quality. My test photos were sharper than many more expensive digital cameras manage. I also liked the warmth of the colours the Lumix DMC FS62 produced for me.
Rating: Above Average
Summary: Out of all the cheaper cameras I have tested in 2009 the Panasonic Lumix DMC FS62 stands out when it comes to offering good old fashioned value for money. If you are looking for a pocket camera and do not want to overspend, you will be hard pressed to beat this camera.
