We like:
Good design and controls; big screen and clear interface; quick-access button for the 'intelligent auto' mode
We don't like:
Fine detail lacks bite; some scene modes work at lower resolution; focus tracking is slow to lock on
CNET UK judgement:
Panasonic makes some great 10-megapixel compacts, but seems to be struggling to get the best out of its 12-megapixel sensors -- the Lumix DMC-FS25, Lumix DMC-FX40 and Lumix DMC-FT1 all turn out slightly mushy detail. While the FS25 has a good lens and a great control layout, its picture quality is something of a letdown
Full review:
The Lumix DMC-FS25 is one of Panasonic's more affordable compact cameras, but you still get 12 megapixels, a 5x wideangle zoom and the company's usual barrage of 'intelligent' automation. With a big, 76mm (3-inch) screen, and a good control layout, it looks like a pretty decent deal at around £160. Continue Reading...
