I've owned a few Panasonic cameras. This is the worst of them. from Amazon.com Then I lost the pictures that I took in the first two days... The SDHC card that I used was Transcend 8GB, which I checked using a PC and showing that there is no error area from Amazon.com The image quality is not good for a 10 megapixel camera especially for indoor shots even with image stabilisation. DMC-TZ5 has a far superior image quality and good image stabilisation even though it is only a 9 megapixel camera. from Amazon.com This camera is a diamond in the rough. Pocketable and powerful. from Amazon.com I purchased the FX500K to replace an aging 6mp camera, and immediately took it on a trip to Rome -- and shot 500 pictures. I had read reviews complaining of abberations at high resolutions, but I have no complaint. from Amazon.com For a week I went back and forth between getting this or the DMC-TZ5. What finally decided it for me was that at the time on Amazon this camera was about $60 less than the TZ5, and every review I had read said the two cameras were pretty much the same except: from Amazon.com The touch screen works well, but it's really just a gimmick that results in lots of fingerprints on the screen. Finally, the edges of the camera are really squared off - it's pocketable, but barely. The FX-35 or FX-37 will probably fix all these deficiencies for me, and since they both use the same sensor and pretty close to the same lenses, they might just fit the bill. This camera takes amazing photos for the price it's selling for right now. from Amazon.com very impresssed with panasonic in general. helped my decide on this camera from Amazon.com I had been looking for a digital camera for more than a year and was hesitant about the Canon cameras ( all my previous cameras were Canons) as their digital cameras seem to have a Lens Error problem so when I saw the Panasonic Lumix FX-500 I thought I might have found something that had just about everything I was looking for and maybe more. BUT, the thing it is missing is good picture quality. from Amazon.com This camera is okay. However, its 5x optical lense doe not produce anything better than the 3.6x lense of FX01. from Amazon.com
