Great 1080p HD movie shooting

very useful when shooting videos in cramped spaces

great movie shooting in iA mode at night ; fun touch screen ; very compact in comparison to a full size had camera

only 12 megapixels still picture shooting ; cannot zoom as far as a regular hd camcorder

garbage

I sent a FX78 camera for repair during waranty period. The eyes of people taken with flash show white dots. The camera was returned unrepaired with the advice to stop taking pictures with flash. I spent $350 for this camera and now it should go to the...

This camera is awesome. it has so many features that when you get it you will spend hours messing with it. The beauty retouch is perfect for when you take a group photo and everyone else in the picture looks great but you think you look horrible. If...

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX77 review

It's got a beautiful and slick design, but does Panasonic's FX77 produce pictures to match?

Touch screen isn't so sensitive ; Flimsy covers ; Lack of manual control

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX77 review

Smart in both looks and brains, the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX77 produces some of the best images of any digital compact we've tested over the last couple of months. We're not so keen on the handling as the sleek, trim body is devoid of easy grab points,...

Sharp focus ; Wide f/2.5 maximum aperture ; Vibrant colours ; Highly usable touchscreen

Occasionally tricky to hold

The Lumix DMC-FX77 is smart and surprisingly compact. It's thin enough to slip easily into a pocket. But while the lack of any bumps or ridges helps in this respect, we remain concerned that the sleek body counts against it when it comes to general...

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX77

Packing a large 3.5in touch screen this sleek new 12.1 megapixel ultra compact is attractive in more ways than one.

Touch nice for viewing pictures ; Stylish design ; Good results with minimal effort ; Good low light performance

Few physical controls ; Touchscreen easy to press accidentally ; Somewhat pricey

This is a sleek, user friendly compact that, when you strip away the glossy looks and technological gimmicks, is your point and shoot compact pure and simple. This means that inevitably it's devoid of much in the way of manual control, apart from the...

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX77 : The stylish compact camera that can do it all

A stylish compact that offers more features than most. The touch screen can sometimes be a hindrance, but this is outweighed by the camera's capabilities
