'In PCWorld Labs imaging tests, the Lumix DMC-FP8 produced good--but not great--results. '
'The minimal, flat fronted design and internally stacked/folded zoom lens mechanism of Panasonic's 12.1 effective megapixel Lumix DMC-FP8 may be a claimed bold departure for the electronics manufacturer's range of otherwise conventionally styled digital compacts. '
'The Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX500 was worthy of its flagship status (and its successor, the FX580 , likely will be, too).'
'This camera is super small and weighs in at just under half a pound.'
'high-end point-and-shoot'
'The FX500 is immediately recognisable as a Panasonic compact, sporting the familiar clean, smart styling, brushed metal surface and cross-hatched Lumix logo.'
'After several days of shooting, we came to see the Lumix FX75 as a capable camera that without a doubt could be a full-time camera in the form of a sharp, well-exposed image or video clip for the average user. '
'Distortion levels were also rated as Poor, as chromatic aberration and colored fringing was noticeably evident in our test shot of a target chart, most likely due to the camera's ultra-wide-angle 24mm lens. '
'Unfortunately, attaching the stylus to the wrist strap means that you won't be able to use it while the camera is on your wrist.'
