Wide-angle (28mm) lens; wide-aspect video recording at 30fps; dual image stabilization; High Angle LCD; uses same battery and charger as FX9 and FX8.
No manual features or optical viewfinder; slight barrel distortions at 28mm wide angle; chromatic aberrations in the form of blooming and purple fringing; unable to select desired ISO level in High Sensitivity mode.
The Lumix FX01 proves to be a compact shooter that performs, just like its previous incarnations, though it misses the mark in terms of image quality.
Easy: the inclusion of 28mm wide-angle Leica optics makes it useful for group photos; its 6-megapixel resolution is adequate for poster-sized prints; and an ISO 1600-equivalent High Sensitivity mode for lowlight shooting without fl ash suggests a desir...
Oozes quality, Many advanced features, Excellent images
Some controls compromised
There are many attractive credit card-sized compacts jostling for market share, so what makes the DMC-FX01 special? Easy: the inclusion of 28mm wide-angle Leica optics makes it useful for group photos; its 6-megapixel resolution is adequate for poster-...
Abstract: A true feat of inspired engineering, Panasonic’s FX01 is the ultra-portable for the discerning photographer. Fast, sexy and featuring a world-first lens, the 6-megapixel camera combines legendary Leica optics with a luxurious set of features includi...
Abstract: The Panasonic Lumix FX01 is a promising camera which unfortunately trips-up where it counts. Image quality is sub-par with noise visible starting at ISO 80 and increasing rapidly from there. At ISO 800 and 1600, the images are so devoid of details, pr...
Abstract: For several years now Panasonic has been trying to muscle in on the ultra-compact style camera market dominated by Casio's Exilim range, Pentax's Optio range and especially Canon's very popular IXUS range. Their main weapon in this assault has been a rapi...
Abstract: The FX01 from Panasonic continues the simultaneous thinning and widening of convenience-type digital cameras. With a 28mm wide angle/zoom lens and a wonderfully pocketable size, the cameras 6.0 megapixel capacity delivers great pictures wherever you h...
High resolution, clean images, Excellent color - vivid but natural, High quality construction, lovely design, Highly versatile 28-102mm zoom range - smallest 28mm camera in the world, Reliable white balance with fine tuning, Feels fast and responsive, Hig...
Very noisy at ISO 200-400 in low light, Noise reduction a bit strong at lower ISO settings for our liking - especially in low light, Results a little soft at F5.6 and over, No manual control of shutter speed or aperture, Occasional exposure problems and b...
In the space of a few short years Panasonic has come from nowhere to become one of the key players in the digital camera market. And it has done so not by clever marketing or particularly aggressive pricing, but by taking risks, by going off on tangen...
Very good image quality outdoor, High res large monitor, Very effective optical stabilizer, No distortion with standard photos, No chromatic aberration, Starry Sky mode that allows exposures up to 60 seconds, Solidly built
Compression a bit too strong at the Fine setting, Some noise at all ISO levels, 16:9 mode not as well implemented as it should be
The Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX01 is the newest in a series of very compact high-performance cameras that include an optical image stabilizer. The DMC-FX01 offers the same rugged but elegant build as previous cameras in the series. Metal clad front and bac...

Abstract: Quick Take: The Panasonic DMC-FX01 is the latest in Panasonics FX line of digital cameras. This 6-megapixel point-and-shoot camera shares the small form factor of its predecessors but with one notable upgrade: The FX01 has a 28mm wide-angle 3.6X optic...
