Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX35A 10.1MP Digital Camera (Blue) Review

I don't write reviews of everything I buy.I make reviews when I am especially disappointed, or when I'm really really happy about something.

This the best camera I have ever used.I love this camera!

The wide angle is really appreciated.You can get the shot you want every time.

Nice bright screen, with super-handy controls for common things like Timer Mode, Exposure, Flash on/off and Macro mode. The power switch is never hit by accident. The menus are fast and very well laid out.

Picture quality is excellent.

This camera has fast startup, 2.5 seconds after hitting the power switch, you are ready to take pictures.In addition, the image processing runs very fast, and your picture is ready for viewing so quickly that it is ready by the time you have a chance to put the switch in play mode.

The camera is very small and light, which is amazing considering how much of it must be dedicated to the Leica lens and the optical zoom mechanicals.

The on/off switch, mode selection and the quick menu buttons are a joy to use, very positive action with tactile feedback.Very well organized layout, making the common settings like flash/on/off/auto, and exposure control very easy to get to.

Macro mode works down to 5 cm.The camera makes good choices for exposure while in general purpose mode.However, you have lots of good choices for white balance and exposure control if you don't like the default.You can even point the camera at something white and get a custom white balance to make the pictures look correct no matter what the lighting is.

Battery life is excellent, I've taken hundreds of pictures and only recharged once. The display is nice and bright, outdoor use works well unless the sun is directly shining on the LCD.

The only thing I don't like about is all these silly modes you can put it in like 'Baby1' and 'Baby2'. Do you really need a separate camera mode for baby pictures? These modes go on and on, and it seems kind of nuts to me.

However, these can be ignored easily.

My family has late-model Nikon and Cannon Cameras. I wanted a wider-angle camera and this is the one I chose, after reading some positive comments on Trusted Reviews. This camera is better than the Nikons and Cannons in almost every way.

If you are deciding between this camera and different one, chose this one, it is a truly exceptional device.
