Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX65 (Lumix DMC-FX60)

image quality, zoom, price, performance

100% of the reviews on Amazon.co.uk give this product a positive rating.

In conclusion, like so many upgrades, the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX60 is basically an FX40 with a few under-the-bonnet operational tweaks to justify its release - namely speedier AF and improved image stabilisation, not that the uninitiated would notice....

Instead of making quantum leap changes, each successive model of this FX series has seen incremental improvements, and the FX65 is the most refined model yet, striking a balance between features and quality. With Power O.I.S., quicker start-up,...

Build quality, iA works well, image stabilisation, battery life

Image noise, lacks direct control, price, no HDMI

The Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX60 is an easy to use point and shoot, demonstrating excellent build quality and giving results that great for the majority of everyday shooting. The HD video capture will please those who like to bring a little quality to...

Pictures in average to bright light conditions appeared fine but we were less convinced by low-light photos, and video may list a hi-def spec, but watch out for grainy, colour-limited video. But for ease of use and simple control, the Panasonic...

Lovely wide-angle 25mm lens with 5x optical zoom ; Looks pretty stylin ; Easy to use ; Takes some stunning pictures

Picture quality - simple design - value for money

There is little that I can come up with

In my opinion the Panasonic Lumix DMC FX60 is one of the very best pocket cameras on the market. Picture quality compares with the best digital cameras in this category. The camera is also easy to use and has good response times.
