This review is from: Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX8K 5MP Digital Camera with 3x Image Stabilized Optical Zoom (Black)In my opionion, the Panasonic DMC-FX8 and FX9 are the best choices in the ultra compact camera category. I have owned a couple of the Canon SD cameras (SD200 and SD300) and the pictures produced by the FX7/8/9 are vastly superior, esp. with Indoor Shots. The Image Stabilization really helps in Indoor, Low-Light Settings which if you are like me, is where you take the majority of your snapshots. The Canon SD500/550 are arguably better cameras due to their bigger sensor, 7 MPs, and stronger flash BUT they are not small enough to toss into my front pocket (a pre-requisite). As for the cracked LCD screens, google "Canon and Cracked LCD Screen". It is not an isolated problem! The best precaution you can take is two-fold. Buy a LCD screen protector as well as a hard camera case (I review one of each btw). Finally, the FX8/FX9 have corrected the two major complaints people had with the very popular and well-regarded DMC-FX7. They now boast a faster AF, a longer-lasting battery and 640x480 Movie Mode. If they had manual controls, they would have created the elusive "perfect ultra compact" camera!
This review is from: Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX8K 5MP Digital Camera with 3x Image Stabilized Optical Zoom (Black)The camera it self is very nice, i loved it while it lasted.... which is where the problem is. I had this camera for one month before the screen in the back cracked. There are many other people who have also had this problems and it is expensive to fix. For some reason the protection of the screen is very weak and needs to be upgraded for this camera to really be worth the risk.
This review is from: Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX8K 5MP Digital Camera with 3x Image Stabilized Optical Zoom (Black)I have this camera and am taking it back tomorrow. It can take good pictures but it also takes terrible pictures. I never know which it's going to be. Tonight I used the same settings for all the pics in the same lighting conditions and half the pictures where good and the other half were very grainy. I've been trying to figure out if I am not setting something correctly and have given up. I didn't buy a little camera to pull out of my pocket and spend forever adjusting settings so I can take a picture. I am very disappointed with this little camera.
