 Panasonic Lumix FX30 review at DigiCamReview : Our friend Joshua Waller from DigiCamReview has published his Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX30 review. The lens part of the Panasonic DMC-FX30 comprises of seven elements in six groups, including five lenses with six aspherical surfaces to generate high optical performance. The zoom ratio can be extended up to 5.3x in 3MP resolution mode with minimal deterioration thanks to the Extra Optical Zoom. By using the central part of the CCD, this zooming function allows you to easily capture and magnify distant subjects. The Panasonic Lumix 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.

Panasonic FX30 camera - Playback
According to Joshua Waller: "The camera's switch on time is very quick and takes around 1.5 - 2.0 seconds to switch on and take a photo. Focusing is quick at around 0.4 seconds - shutter response is quick at around 0.1 seconds. Shot to shot time is around 1.1 seconds (with review off), with flash on this slows down to around 2.0 seconds between shots. Playback mode is very quick, and its easy to zoom in on your last shot and check for blur with the zoom control.”
Panasonic Lumix FX30 compact camera - Ergonomics
Joshua continues: "The Panasonic Lumix FX30 camera feels solid, with a robust metal body. The stylish design and colour scheme and choices look very good. However there isn't much that your thumb can grip onto, and the front of the camera is almost completely flat, with only a small raised part. The zoom control is very easy to use. The shutter release button feels good.”
Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX30 digicam - Layout and Shooting time
"The camera is very compact with a stylish and smooth body available in several colours. The camera has a very good 2.5" screen. The camera feels sturdy and is comfortable to hold. The camera is very easy to use, thanks to the mode dial and easy to use menus. There is a good layout of buttons and controls, and numerous simple modes or scene modes to make it easier to use. The camera speed is very good, with a very good switch on time, rapid focusing time, quick shutter response, quick playback mode, quick menus, and excellent continuous shooting modes.” concludes Joshua.
