On the whole a rather average performer producing a barely adequate level of quality. However the healthy focal range, abundance of scene modes and the ability to exercise a modest level of manual control justify it’s rather ambitious price...
The Panasonic Lumix is the definition of a compact camera – it's just 26mm deep and tips the scales at 138g, a full third below its Lumix stablemates. The secret is its super-thin Leica lens elements, which allows the ZX1 to slim down to levels...
The Lumix ZX1 does little to offend, and the Intelligent Auto mode can do pretty much all the work if you want it to. We'd like to see some more manual controls, and optical viewfinder and a touchscreen, but we're just being picky.
Panasonic gets top marks for cramming unlikely amounts of tech and a solid performance into a tiny body. If size matters but you still want a decent zoom range, it's about as good as you'll find.Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZX1 is tagged with Panasonic Lum...
Useful zoom range; great lens quality; solid build quality and controls; small size
Over-enthusiastic noise reduction at all ISOs; very close to the Lumix DMC-TZ6 and DMC-TZ7 in terms of price and features
Why bother looking at any of Panasonic's other numerous 12-megapixel compacts now that the Lumix DMC-ZX1 is here? It beats the whole lot for zoom range and, from the look of our test shots, image quality too, yet it's no bigger. The DMC-ZX1's only rea...
Abstract: The Panasonic Lumix DMC ZX1 is an impressive digital camera. It offers extra zoom over more standard cameras with an 8x zoom lens. The lens has a focal length equivalent to 25 - 200mm in 35mm format. This means it has wide angle capability. This can be...
8x zoom with a very wide angle lens, Image quality in wideangle mode, Zoom available during video, Faultless build quality, Pleasant interface
Image could be sharper at 200 mm, No separate controls for video, Only mono sound and no AVCHD in video, No real style of its own, Image quality lacking above 800 ISO
The Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZX1 won't bowl you over with fancy looks or features, but it's a rock-solid, affordable camera that offers a lot more than an entry-level shooter. Panasonic has hand-selected the features and specs that nicely split the dif...
Quick and responsive, 12.1-megapixel sensor, 8x optical zoom (25-200mm equivalent focal length range), Lots of hi-tech and helpful Scene and Ai modes, Neat and compact
Tiny buttons on the top and rear, No manual or semi-auto shooting modes, The zoom lever can be difficult when making finite adjustments, Noise levels at anything above ISO 200, Flash problems with macro photography
The DMC-ZX1 is Panasonics all-new Super Compact Camera. Squeezed into a matt silver casing no bigger than a packet of Marlboro Lights youll find a 12.1-megapixel machine ready and eager to take snaps at the push of a button.The DMC-ZX1 is the lates...
Larger than average zoom range, easy operation, pocket friendly size, reasonable feature set and price
Slender dimensions mean it's tricky for users to get a good firm grip on the camera when shooting handheld, unassuming run of the mill design
With recent introductions to the ‘big zoom, small camera’ market from Fuji with its innovative F70EXR and Kodak with its great value Z950 – both offering 10x zoom lenses – it may be time that Panasonic’s little sister grew up. However, at the end of ...
The Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZX1 bridges the gap between the popular FX and TZ series cameras, offering the small size of the former combined with a similar focal range to the latter. Super-quick auto-focusing and improved image stabilisation help to swee...
