Panasonic Lumix FS5

 

The Lumix FS3 (8 megapixels) and Lumix FS5 (10 megapixels) are two small point-and-shoot cameras from Panasonic. Both cameras pack the latest Venus Engine 4 processor, optical image stabilization, 2.5 inch LCDs, good battery life and many scene modes....

Stylish and good build quality (metal tripod mount is rare!) ; Optical image stabilization ; Very good battery life ; Fairly powerful flashes for cameras this size (Especially FS3) ; Above average camera performance ; Very good LCD visibility ; Plenty...

Limited manual controls (certainly no manual exposure here) ; No red eye removal and movie editing features ; Face Detection needs a direct, clear view of faces to work nicely ; Flimsy battery compartment door ; Finer details (ie fabric lines) removed...

The compact little Panasonic Lumix FS3 and FS5 cameras are two which have much to offer with their small designs, nice point-and-shoot operation and great performance. Set aside their minor differences, both cameras have features which casual picture...

It doesn't take a genius to know what makes a good compact camera. Along with decent battery life and a slim, lightweight design, the primary ingredie...

Improved Intelligent Auto mode, vibrant 10.1Mp images, good quality LCD screen

Occasionally lethargic response times, Easy Zoom seems pointless

The DMC-FS5 inarguably puts the fun back into photography by giving you quality shots that you don't have to work towards. If you're in the point-and-click brigade, you definitely won't be disappointed.

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FS5

 

We've just got our hands on the 10-megapixel Panasonic Lumix DMC-FS5. Panasonic has rocked our world since the TZ3, and this latest arrival from PMA is shaping up to be just as popular.

With a March release date, you should be able to find the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FS5 in stores now. Stay tuned for out full review.

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FS5

 

Can Panasonic's FS range deliver a worthy performance?

It's a great camera but doesn't dazzle. Typical of many other 10 mp compacts on the market at the moment.

Panasonic DMC FS5

 

The Panasonic DMC FS5 is a 10 megapixel digital camera with a 4x wide angle lens. It is a handy, pocket size and I was very impressed by the quality of the photos I was able to produce with it. If you are in the market for a small camera that is easy...

Ease of use - design and build quality - automatic features - overall picture quality - wide screen movies

Shutter delay could be that little bit faster

"This is a very good little camera. It scores well for ease of use and I was very impressed by picture quality. If you are looking for a small camera that can produce sharp, bright photos with plenty of colour then take a good look at the DMC FS5."
