No doubt that Panasonic is getting better and better in terms of Digital camera. They are using good lens, wide angles, and now, they are the first introduce some very exciting and yet useful feature. Look at this manual auto-focus function on FX520.
Panasonic introduce this manual "auto-focus" function. That means you touch the screen and tell the camera which object to be focused, and the camera and lock it down and focused even the object moves. Always when you use compact digital camera, do you have the experience that they are focusing on something that is not you want. Even though they got face detection, but doesn't mean that I will be taking human all the time. And I may have other objects to be focused rather than face. But now, you can focus to everywhere you like.
1) Large LCD screen, as large as the Canon SD870.
2) Manual function, you can adjsut the aperture, shuttle speed etc.
3) Very compact and small in size.
Some drawbacks:
1) Use joystick rather than button. Joystick get spoilted easily.
2) Some functions only available at touchscreen, some functions can be controlled by both touchscreen and the joystick.
Unknown:
1) Image quality.... not ure the "over processed" problem in earlier Panasonic cameras being solved in this series. Maybe someone can let me know.
Other than above, the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX500/520 is a 10.1 megapixel point-and-shoot digital camera features 5x Optical Zoom (35mm Equivalent: 25 - 125 mm) with image stabilization, Intelligent Auto Mode, ISO 100-1600, and a 3.0″ Intelligent LCD screen.
