Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX55P 8.1MP Digital Camera

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX55P 8.1MP Digital Camera
Like the entire 2007 Lumix line, the Lumix DMC-FX55 incorporates Panasonic's revolutionary Intelligent Image Stabilization technologies, and is among the first Panasonic cameras to offer Intelligent Auto Mode, a system which combines Mega Optical Image Stabilization (O.I.S) and Intelligent ISO Control with three new features: Face Detection System, Intelligent Scene Selector, and Continuous Autofocus. The camera combines 8.1-megapixel resolution with a 28mm wide-angle Leica DC lens that features 3.6x optical zoom.

The new Intelligent Auto Mode available on the DMC-FX55 includes: Intelligent Scene Selector, which automatically selects the appropriate scene mode from the most frequently-used modes such as Portrait, Scenery, Macro, Night Scenery, and Night Portrait; the Face Detection System, which helps the camera to focus, set autoexposure, and detects up to 15 human faces, capturing them clearly and brightly; and Continuous Autofocus, which allows the camera to maintain focus on the subject without having to press the shutter button halfway, minimizing autofocus time.Intelligent Image Stabilization, a feature across the entire 2007 Lumix digital camera line, comprises two features: MEGA O.I.S. which helps compensate for the effects of hand-shake, and and Intelligent ISO Control, which takes into account the photo subject is moving and adjusts the ISO setting. Combining these two anti-blur features helps the DMCFX55 to photograph clear, crisp images.

In addition, the DMC-FX55 features the Venus Engine III, which supports a new High Sensitivity mode that allows images to be shot at a setting of up to ISO 6400. This is sensitive enough to capture subjects in low-light conditions without the need for a flash. Also, the high-speed Burst Shooting mode enables up to seven shots to be taken per second.

Other advanced features include: The DMC-FX55 has a 3-inch LCD screen. 27MB of built-in memory, perfect for backing up SDHC/SD memory card recording. The new Title Edit function allows the inputting of text to provide additional context to images. Additional functions for adding information to photos include the Text Stamp function and the Travel Date function. Category Playback sorts images into categories such as portraits, events, baby, etc., to allow for easy playback and creation of slideshows. Clipboard function allows the user to hold and retrieve certain images that may be useful on a trip, such as a photo of a map or train schedule. The DMC-FX55 is available in silver, black, and pink.

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX55P 8.1MP Digital Camera user reviews

    "just a great all around camera. I dont know why anyone would buy anything other than a panasonic. Leica lens, huge lcd screen, its fantastic. "

    "Great camera! The 28mm equivalent wide angle lens allows shots many compacts can't handle nearly as well. The 3" LCD is a great feature and can be made brighter for intense sunlight or off-angle viewing with the touch of a button. The face recognition and image stabilization work very well. I was also quite impressed with the video capability. Tons and tons of features! Did extensive research and the 55 could not be beat for the price. Substantially less than the comparable Canon 870is. Shorter and thinner too! Recommended. "

    "I had this camera for a month now and I am very happy. The quality of the camera is very good. Feels solid and the screen quality is also good not to mention huge 3.2". Also the inter phase is very simple and straight forward. It is a little heavier and thicker than other point and shoot cameras but its worth it. I am buying one for my parents as a present as well. "

    "This little giant is a great pocket camera with loads of power features.

* Effective Image Stabilization
* Automatic Intelligence Modes
* Loads of Scene Settings that really work
* Great zoom combination (optical/digital)
* Extra Sharp Images
* 28mm wide angle view
* Super Compact
* File Organization
* Crystal clear 3.2" Screen

I could go on and on with all of the great features.
If you buy this camera and learn how to take advantage of the features, you will not be disappointed. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a small camera with great performance features. "

    "After much review for the "perfect" size camera that takes quality pictures, has good battery life and has face detection and image stabilized zoom, this camera was the pick! It was a gift and the recipient can't say enough positive things about the quality of this camera. The price is a slight disadvantage but with free shipping and no tax, the cost evens out. The use of a "standard" SD card vs. a memory stick, etc., is a huge advantage also. "

    "a nice little camera beautiful to look at and to hold. the 28mm-100mm range and 3" lcd sold me despite the warning of the high cost of the battery. i don't know if the image quality is any better than comparable competitors. wish it came with an extra battery and sd card. these hidden costs bring the price up from the initial eye-catching allure but all in all i am happy enough.
