 Panasonic FX30 review at Photoxels : DIWA member Yin Wong from Photoxels has reviewed the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX30 digital camera. The Panasonic DMC-FX30 features the Venus Engine III, Panasonic’s advanced image-processing engine that can record at a sensitivity setting as a high as ISO 1250 at full resolution. Noise reduction is also greatly improved, with picture noise removed in stages during image processing. Critical noise is analyzed and chromatic and luminance noise are reduced separately. The Panasonic FX30 camera boasts a 207K pixel high resolution, 2.5” large LCD. The mixed-pixel readout method performed by the CCD automatically increases the brightness level of the live image on the LCD.

 Panasonic Lumix FX30 - Histogram
According to Yin Wong: "I find it incredible that Panasonic would equip a P&S digital camera with all these practical features when some more expensive and "for pro" digital cameras do not. Overall, good to very good image quality and very impressed with all the more advanced features that are included, such as manual WB and Live Histogram. The pictures in the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX30 Photo Gallery page provide a good sample of what the camera is capable of."
Panasonic FX30 compact camera - Operation and Menu
Yin Wong continues: "The Zoom Lever is around the Shutter Button and it takes about 2.5 sec. to zoom from wide to tele. I counted 19 intermediate steps, which makes it possible to stop the zoom pretty much at the point where you want it to. This is is excellent since other digicams typically give you only 9 or less steps. Panasonic's menu structure is probably the best there is. It is very easy to understand and use. Where necessary, the menu becomes transparent to allow you to see the effect of your choices (e.g. for WB and Color Effect). There are 3 RECord and 4 SETUP pages worth of menu settings."

About Photoxels
Photoxels was founded in 2002 by MyKhanh Wong (Owner, Editor) and Yin Wong (Contributing Editor), the editors behind Photoxels. In 2001, we went on the Web to learn about digital cameras like everyone else. But it seems that the more we read about digital cameras, the more reviews we scrutinized, and the more we searched... the more confused we became. If we were somewhat confused about which digital cameras to buy before visiting the digital camera review sites, we became even more confused after reading most of the (very) technical reviews. Slowly, one article and one review at a time, we pieced together what were really important to know about digital cameras and clarified many of the digital photography-related terminology. We decided to share what we learned on the Internet, and Photoxels was born.
