'Measuring 94 x 51 x 24mm and weighing 155g (with its Lithium-ion battery and media), the pocketable FX9 is well-balanced in terms of design and build'
'As with all such pseudo viewfinders it is impossible to use in bright sunlight.'
'Unfortunately the DMC-FX9 didn't do well in our redeye test, which is pretty common for ultra-compact cameras like this one.'

'The resolution isn't terribly high, with 130,000 pixels'
'the screen's resolution isn't very high, and it streaks when the camera is panned rapidly.'
'High ISO shots were especially bad.'
