Obviously out of the mix of cameras that Panasonic has launched in the market is the Lumix DMC FX500. This 10 megapixel camera was initially launched in March 2008, worth close to $400.00 when it was initially launched.

It features many technologies beyond those needed to take a good snapshot such as shutter- and aperture-priority modes and controls for color effects and adjusting sharpness, color, and noise reduction. It also has a hybrid interface using both a 3-inch touch-screen LCD and a traditional directional joystick and buttons.

It does have abundant “auto” shooting abilities, too, though the FX500 is best suited for people wanting more control and/or the ability to experiment with their photos.

The Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX500 is a very good ultracompact camera with a lot of shooting flexibility. It’s just its slow performance that’s keeping it from achieving excellence.
