Typical price: £230
What is it: Slender 8-megapixel ultracompact digital camera
What we think: A no-fuss point-and-shoot -- easy to use, reliable and capable of taking sharp, colourful images
What you need to know
Reviewed on: 4 October 2007
Tags: panasonic, intelligent, lens, body
We like:
Large bright LCD screen, simple to use (particularly with Intelligent Auto Mode); rechargeable battery
We don't like:
No removable media supplied; could be faster writing maximum-resolution shots; optical image stabilisation not always infallible
You might also need:
High-capacity SDHC card
CNET UK judgement:
Panasonic's run of producing the goods when it comes to digital compacts shows no signs of slowing. The Lumix DMC-FX55 is easy to use and reliable, producing consistently sharp, evenly exposed, colourful images -- it's all you could hope for from a pocket snapshot camera

Canon PowerShot A2100 IS
We wish it were slightly faster, but it offers a useful 6x zoom and great photo quality
Canon PowerShot A480
Fuss-free compact that takes good photos given the price. Just don't expect too much from it
Canon Digital IXUS 990 IS
Good camera, but it's underspecified and overpriced, even compared to other IXUS models
Fujifilm FinePix S1500
Its lens and image quality aren't great, but it's a good option for beginner photographers
