Price range: £147.98
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.co.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

Fujifilm FinePix F100fd
Inexplicable interface issues let down this disappointingly unsophisticated point-and-shoot
Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ5
Its attractions are almost irresistible, but its performance is too sluggish

Photos: Hands-on with the Kodak EasyShare M1063
The Kodak EasyShare M1063 is a 10-megapixel point-and-shoot with a large screen and clever power features -- and it's more interesting than anything that happened in 1063
