Panasonic Lumix DMC FX60 review and ratings
The Panasonic Lumix DMC FX60 is aimed at anyone who is looking for a straightforward pocket camera. It is easy to operate, yet has a good range of features when compared with other cameras jostling in this overcrowded sector of the digital camera market.
It has an unfussy, simple design. The Lumix DMC FX60 comes in four different colours. These are red wine, blue, silver and black. Key features include 12 megapixels and a 5x optical zoom lens. One thing I like about this camera is the fact you can opt to decrease the resolution you are shooting at in order to increase the amount of zoom available. For example if you shoot at 3 megapixels zoom increases to 9.8x.
Picture quality is very good indeed. It is right up there with the best cameras in its class. In fact considering it has such a wide angle lens the sharpness of the pictures it produces is outstanding. There was plenty of colour in my tests shots, without the scenes being overpowered. When I moved in closer for portrait shots my photos had a pleasant, warm glow to them.
If you are looking for a camera to compare the Lumix DMC FX60 against then take a look at another of my top rated pocket cameras the Canon IXUS 120 IS.
Rating: Above Average
Summary: There is plenty of choice when it comes to buying a pocket camera. The Panasonic Lumix DMC FX60 rubs shoulders with the best models from 2009. It is reasonably priced and ticks just about every box.
