Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX580

By Jeff Keller (dcresource.com)

The DMC-FX580 comes in second place here, no thanks to the impressive numbers put up by the Casio Exilim EX-Z450. In the group as a whole, the FX580's numbers are well above average.

The Lumix DMC-FX580 is known as the DMC-FX550 in some countries

Panasonic DMC-FX580

By Tim Barribeau (digitalcamerainfo.com)

The Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX580 is a $400 point-and-shoot that brings extensive manual controls, a touch-screen interface and wide-angle lens to the table. While we were highly impressed by the level of control while shooting, the image quality was ...

Our view on the FX580 is split. On one hand, we absolutely love the manual controls. Manual, aperture-priority, and shutter-priority shooting modes. Tweakable white balance. Auto exposure bracketing. Adjustable noise compensation, sharpness, ...

Panasonic DMC-FX580

By Tim Barribeau (washingtonpost.com)

The Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX580 takes all the manual controls that power users so adore, combines them with an effective touch-screen augmented interface, and packs it all into a relatively small camera. Unfortunately, as much as we love some of the ...

The Panasonic's claim to fame is the extensive manual control you have over the shooting experience. It has a number of settings that usually are only found on SLRs. It's not very common to see a point-and-shoot camera with manual shooting mode, ...

Only good, not great

By Kevin Edwards (amazon.com)

Only good, not great

Not nearly as good as the Panny ZS3Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS3 10MP Digital Camera with 12x Wide Angle MEGA Optical Image Stabilized Zoom and 3 inch LCD (Black), but that camera is slightly big bigger and heavier. Also, the HD movies on this camera are MJPEG,...

Worth every cent - Excellent for serious amateurs and new pros

By N. Montero (amazon.com)

Worth every cent - Excellent for serious amateurs and new pros

I have been a serious SLR photographer (mostly scientific photography but also landscape and personal photography when traveling on holiday) for over 40 years. In that time, since beginning with a 2.25" format Yashica twin-lens reflex camera (phenomenal)...

Manufacturer's Description

Just "point out" the subject by touching the LCD, and the camera does the rest, adjusting the focus and exposure to capture a sharp, bright shot of your subject. Also, each time you indicate a face, the face recognition function activates and "remembers" it. Subsequently, any time that face appears within a shot you're framing, the camera adjusts the focus and exposure to capture it perfectly. In iA mode, you can simply "point out" your subject by touching it on the LCD. The camera does the...
