 Panasonic Lumix FX3 at Steves Digicams : Our good friends at Steves Digicams have published their review of the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX3 digital compact camera. The 6 Megapixel Panasonic FX3 features a f/2.8 3x optical zoom (equivalent to 35 mm to 105 mm on a 35 mm film camera) Leica DC lens, MEGA O.I.S.(Optical Image Stabilizer) and max. ISO 1600 high sensitivity mode. For the image processor, the Venus Engine Plus LSI is incorporated for high performance image processing, both in terms of speed and image quality, while still preserving low energy consumption. Another feature that elevates the Panasonic Lumix DMC FX3 is the incorporation of 13.5MB of built-in memory, while the battery life is long enough to shoot up to 320 pictures.

 Panasonic FX3 camera - Performance
According to Steve Digicams: "Shooting performance was good. From power up to first image captured measured about 2.2 seconds. Shutter lag averaged about 1/10 of a second when pre-focused and 4/10 of a second including auto focus. The shot to shot time in single exposure mode was approx. 1.5 seconds between frames without the flash and between 2.5 - 3.5 seconds with the flash, depending on subject distance and battery life. The FX3 offers three Burst mode settings to choose from (Low-speed, High-speed, Unlimited.)"
Panasonic Lumix FX3 review conclusion - Steves Digicams
Steve continues: "Image quality was average for a 6-megapixel consumer model. The Leica 3x optical zoom offers a typical zoom range of 35 - 105mm (in 35mm equivalence.) The field of view at the 35mm wide angle extreme is sufficient for landscape and group portraits, while its telephoto capabilities work great for close up portraits; just don't expect to bring distance subjects up close. Overall, it helped the Panasonic FX3 produce sharp images throughout the zoom range, with moderate barrel distortion at full wide angle and slight pincushioning at the telephoto extreme."
