Panasonic Lumix DMC-FS62

No wideangle (28mm) ; ia mode (full automatic) quite useless

My favorite feature is the HD video recording. When they say HD, they really meant that. All of the videos that I have taken are awesome. I have yet to have a problem with the recording. I do get an issue where sometimes the recording may pause on me...

build quality ; leica lens (one of the best in photo lenses ) ; 4x zoom ; 10.1 MP pixels ; optical image stalabisation (very good)

wished it had more manual controls of f stop and shutter speed but even though i am very pleased with the optios it offers

Overall I would give this camera a 9 as it is worth more than what you pay, has an excellent zoom and quality, great motion adapter and I only have on con for it which will bring it down a point.

Good image stabilisation, Intelligent Auto mode takes pleasing photos

No manual controls, poor high ISO performance, low resolution scene modes

Novice photographers can just set the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FS62R to Intelligent Auto and fire away without worrying about changing settings. It's reasonably priced, too.

Excellent value ; Very compact ; Metal construction ; Optical image stabilisation ; Decent image quality

Slightly small screen ; Basic video recording ; Slightly slow autofocus ; Mediocre flash

With the kind of build quality, performance and image quality usually associated with cameras costing twice the price, the Panasonic Lumix FS62 represents possibly the best value for money of any current compact camera. A genuine bargain.

Small size; Light weight; Electronic Viewfinder; Swivel Screen; Touch focus mode; Sharpness of images taken at low to moderate ISO sensitivities

Maximum bulb exposure of four minutes

Value for money, performance, build quality, image quality

Small screen

The Panasonic Lumix DMC-FS62 proves that it is possible to get a good camera at a bargain price. With build quality, performance and results surpassing many cameras costing twice as much, the FS62 is outstanding value for money.

Picture quality - simple design - value for money

Start up and shutter lag times could be a bit faster

In my view it is hard to beat the Panasonic Lumix DMC FS62 when it comes to value for money. There are very few compromises made to keep the price down and this camera outperforms many much more expensive cameras.
