Panasonic FX35 / FX36 Reviews

PCMag reviews the Panasonic FX35 / FX36 and writes;
“Recycle time and shutter lag, at 2.7 and 0.3 seconds, respectively, were almost identical to the FX55’s results, which were very good. You shouldn’t have any problem capturing quick shots.”
Rating: ★★★☆☆

DCRP reviews the Panasonic FX35 / FX36 and writes;
“The FX35 takes good quality photos, though there are definitely some issues to point out. On the whole, photos were well-exposed, with pleasing, vivid color. Images are on the soft side,”
Rating: N/A

LaptopMag reviews the Panasonic FX35 / FX36 and writes;
“Panasonic crams a lot into the Lumix DMC-FX35, including an expansive zoom range that’s perfect for landscape photos and an innovative Intelligent Scene Selector. However, its overall picture quality was inconsistent, keeping the FX35 from being a top pick..”
Rating: ★★★☆☆

CameraLabs reviews the Panasonic FX35 / FX36 and writes;
“So if you’re in the market for a slim, light compact that’s smart in both senses of the term, it should definitely be on your shortlist. And so long as you’re aware of the noise issues at higher sensitivities, we can Highly Recommend it…”

GoodGearGuide reviews the Panasonic FX35 / FX36 and writes;
“Panasonic’s Lumix DMC-FX36 is an impressive compact camera combining good quality 10-megapixel images with a smooth design and some great beginner modes. Unfortunately, the price tag will put it out of reach for some users.”
Rating: ★★★★½

CNET Asia reviews the Panasonic FX35 / FX36 and writes;
“The good: 25mm wide-angle lens; HD-quality video recording; elegant design; maximum ISO of 6,400. The bad: Slightly soft images; focusing a tad slow. The bottom line: A worthy successor to the FX33, the FX36 is a compact powerhouse capable of delivering decent-quality pictures and HD videos. ”

Panasonic FX35 / FX36 Press Release

Panasonic is pleased to introduce the new Lumix DMC-FX35, its first 10.1-megapixel camera with astonishing 25mm ultra-wide-angle LEICA DC lens and 4x optical zoom (equivalent to 25mm to 100mm on a 35mm film camera). Capturing almost double the viewing space at the same shooting distance compared to ordinary 35mm cameras, the DMC-FX35 records remarkable images with unprecedented width and depth.

The new DMC-FX35 integrates 720p HD (high-definition) recording capabilities for capturing motion pictures alongside its primary function as a stills camera, allowing users to watch both still and motion images in impressive HD quality. The DMC-FX35 comprises a variety of additional shoot-assist functions on top of Panasonic’s Intelligent Auto Mode with conventional Mega O.I.S which suppresses hand-shaking, and its Intelligent ISO Control prevents motion blur. New Intelligent Scene Selector Function chooses the appropriate scene mode by automatically selecting the most frequently used setting from modes Portrait, Scenery, Macro, Night Portrait and Night Scenery. New Face Detection System automatically detects human faces to set the focus of potential shots and insure the best possible exposure. Unwanted red-eye effects caused by the flash can now be digitally corrected, and newly added Intelligent Exposure Function controls ISO sensitivity to partially increase the exposure of darkened areas in shot, allowing users to capture scenes suppressing extreme brightness or darkness in images.

Quick AF System allows the DMC-FX35 to pre-determine focus on a subject without pressing the shutter button halfway, to maximize results for every shooting opportunity. In IA Mode the multi-capable functions of the DMC-FX35 adapts to changes in a variety of shooting environments allowing users to capture images automatically without the need to adjust settings every time conditions alter. This allows for simple, accurate image reproduction in any situation with the reassurance of capturing clear, beautiful stills.

High-performance image-processing LSI has entered its fourth generation, to be reborn as Venus Engine IV, assuring higher-quality images with an advanced Signal Processing System. The DMC-FX35 boasts a 230,000-dot high-resolution LCD with Intelligent LCD function introducing control of light detection and brightness levels in 11 steps, to ensure the clearest possible images are achieved.

Slideshows of captured images now offer a background music option so users can enjoy watching pictures with a musical accompaniment to enhance the mood of a screening.

The DMC-FX35 will be available in silver and black, each with a distinctive finish or texture according to its colour.*
*Availability of models and colours may vary depending on the sales area.
