Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ20

May 03, 2012   vitya   No comments

 

Panasonic’s Lumix DMC-TZ20 is one of this month’s chunkier compacts: it wills fir in a pocket, but it’s knobby and heavy. However, it has a broad feature-set, including a 16x zoom, shutter priority, aperture priority and full manual modes, plus exposure bracketing.

That suggests a certain aspirational appeal, but as with the Fujifilm FinePix F550EXR, the optics have been compromised. A small 1/2.33in sensor and a tight maximum aperture of f3.3 limit the light the TZ20 can capture, with the result that images break up in low light. In our long-range text test and video shots, the Lumix produced drab, scrappy results, the only consolation being an almost-silent zoom motor.

With better light, the Panasonic’s image processor does a creditable job. Contrast is on the dark side, but that gives images a pleasing weight, especially at the extremes of the zoom range.

Panasonic Lumix DMC-GX1

April 11, 2012   vitya   No comments

 

The Panasonic Lumix DMC-GX1 is a compact Micro Four Thirds body with plenty of physical controls, an accessory port, and a hot shoe. The 16-megapixel camera does a better job in lower light than other Micro Four Thirds bodies, but not as well as mirrorless cameras with large APS-C sensors such as the Samsung NX200 or our Editors’ Choice Sony Alpha NEX-C3.

Its kit lens can’t match the sharpness of the one included with a competing Micro Four Thirds camera, the Olympus E-PL3; of course, there’s nothing stopping you from using the Olympus lens on the Panasonic camera, thanks to the interoperability of the Micro Four Thirds system.

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX78

While the Panasonic FX78 sports an unassuming body with clean lines, this shooter is also the slimmest and most compact of the lot, slipping into jeans pockets with ease. Of course, its flat design also made keeping a grip a little tough while snapping photos. A whopping 3.5-inch touchscreen takes almost all of the real-estate at the back, with a short row of physical buttons residing on top. While Panasonic certainly didn’t cut any corners in terms of build, the FX78′s touch-based controls took a fair bit of getting used to. The touch interface was also sluggish at times, and can be a little complicated in terms of navigation, in contrast, the physical zoom slider switch seemed overtly sensitive, making accurate zooms a matter of trial and error.

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ100

At first look, there isn’t an awful lot to differentiate the FZ100 from the FZ45, despite costing £80 more. Look closer, though, and the differences become clear. Although the 24x zoom lens and 14-megapixel sensor are identical, the FZ100 is aimed at the enthusiast who wants a little more. There’s a hotshoe to attach an external flash for better shots. You also get a 3in articulated screen that opens and can face any direction.

Panasonic Lumix LX5

May 11, 2011   admin   No comments

 

The Panasonic Lumix LX5 is a refresh of the popular Lumix LX3, a well-regarded power compact that’s also caught on as a replacement for a D-SLR. The first thing you notice about the LX5 is that it feels more compact and pocketable at 110 x 66 x 43cm than the LX3 and the metal body is really sturdy. Panasonic has junked the joystick controller in favor of a clickable control wheel, and there’s also a slider around the lens for changing aspect ratio. A simple movie-record button’s been added too, making it very easy to record 720p HD video in AVCHD or Motion JPEG format.

Panasonic Lumix DMC-G2

The Panasonic Lumix G2 adds some exciting new features to the many virtues of the illustrious DMC-G1. As well as shooting HD movies in AVCHD at 720p, it makes brilliant use of touchscreen technology, such as being able to tell the camera where to focus, adjust settings or even take the picture. Oh, and you can scroll through all your existing shots, too. To set the focus point, you literally point to where you want the camera to focus on the articulated rear screen, and up pops the relevant AF crosshairs. It’s certainly more intuitive than manipulating AF points via a dial or button, as other camera makers expect you to do.
