Expert review by : PC Advisor staff (techadvisor.co.uk)

Panasonic DMC-FX12

 

A stylish camera that represents outstanding value for money, we loved the Panasonic DMC-FX12 so much we handed it a PC Advisor Best Buy award.

Cool looks, excellent features and brilliant image quality. Throw in fantastic value at a list price of £170 (you can get the Panasonic DMC-FX12 cheaper online), and you have a camera that is, quite simply, the best compact on the market today.
