Panasonic Lumix FS30 review

New FS30 offers a sweet blend of image quality and performance

Good image quality ; No shutter lag ; Crisp video

A little too light ; Screen could be nicer ; Not the most desirable design

The megapixel wars are over, or so they say.

Panasonic DMC FS30

I really like this camera. It offers some extra zoom and takes excellent snaps. I found it easy to use and struggled to find anything I did not like about it. If you are looking for a smaller compact camera with some extra zoom then this one is a good...

Ease of use - picture quality - High Definition movies

There are no areas that stand out

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FS30

Need a slinky little compact to slip in your pocket ready for summer? The Panasonic Lumix DMC-FS30 could be the right camera at the right price.

Slim and small; Faster focusing; Nice colour rendition

Noise problems appear early

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FH20 review

The Panasonic Lumix DMC-FH20 is a sub-$180 compact camera featuring a wide-angle lens with an 8x zoom and HD movie capture and, really, that's all. That might sound like a complaint, but it's not. It does what it does well, and though there's room for...

Easy to use; flexible lens in a compact metal body; very good value for features, performance, and photo quality.

Feature set might be too basic for some.

Panasonic's Lumix DMC-FH20 is a very good value for anyone in need of a basic point-and-shoot with a midrange zoom.

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FS30 Review

The Panasonic Lumix DMC-FS30 (also known as the DMC-FH20) is a slim and stylish digital camera with a versatile 8x, 28-224mm optical zoom lens. The FS30 also features a a 2.7-inch LCD screen and can record HD movies in 1280 x 720p at 30fps. The 14.1...

So apart from the smaller screen, lack of touch panel operation, and slightly different button layout at the back, the Panasonic FS33 and FS30 are one camera and the same, with a modest price difference. For a manufacturer's suggested £179.99 and with...

Point and shoot ? This is the camera for you. Simplicity itself with excellent results and small enough for pocket or bag.

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FS30

This camera is great for people who just want to take a picture, without editing too many settings. It has great pre-set modes, of things from Pets to Beach settings. The image quality is very good, and the screen is good (when focused). Produces...

If you want to do more creative photos at night, a 15 second, 30 second and 60 second shutter speed are the only ones possible, so you cannot adjust it to 2 seconds for example. Tripod fixture is right on the left, so it is not as stable as it could...
