Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX35K 10MP Digital Camera with 4x Wide Angle MEGA Optical Image Stabilized Zoom (Black)

I reviewed lots of options, & ultimately it came down 2 the Lumix DMC-FX35D or the Fuji f100fd. Both are highly rated in low light, but I liked the wider angle from the Lumix. The camera performs flawlessly & does an excellent job in low light.

I bought this camera 4 a trip 2 Mexico & am absolutely in love with it. The picture quality is fantastic. It takes great pics in really dark settings or really bright settings. I took a few videos with it as well & the sound quality is great as well.

The only con that I can think of is that if you move around a lot while taking your photos it will turn out blurry. But I only had 5-6 blurry photos out of 400, so it is merely a very minor inconvenience.

Would definitely recommend this camera!

i bought this camera cheaper here cause it supposedly had a scratch. well i have yet 2 find a scratch. great price 4 a great camera!

I usually drag around my big ol film cameras, & finally decided I needed something I could just put in my pocket. The Lumix is a point & shoot, & it pretty much controls how the picture will be taken. Which is fine. The quality is fine, it's small, & the shutter delay is minimal. Glad I bought it.

I love this camera. Really easy 2 use & the pictures come out crystal clear.

With four aspherical lenses & six aspherical surfaces, including an EA (Extra High Refractive Index Aspherical) lens, Panasonic's DMC-FX35 Lumix digital camera features a 25mm wide-angle Leica DC Vario-Elmarit lens with a 4x optical zoom that's compact enough 2 fit in a slim, stylish body. This advanced lens system allows you 2 capture images with a sense of spatial breadth & depth that simply isn't possible with a 35mm camera.
