Amazon.com Product Description
The Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX01K 6MP Compact Digital Camera with 3.6x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom features a Leica DC Vario-Elmarit Lens that deliver outstanding, crisp six megapixel images. With a combined zoom power of 14.4x -- 3.6x optical zoom and 4x digital zoom -- and a burst shooting mode that allows you to take up to 8 images at 2 frames per second, the Lumix DMC-FX01K offers professional quality features and performance.

An auto-focus system, built-in flash mode and automatic red-eye reduction takes the guess-work out of your photography. Shutter speeds range from 1/2000 per second to 8 seconds, with a special "starry sky mode" that allows you to keep the shutter open in increments of 15 seconds up to 60 seconds. A 2.5-inch diagonal polycrystalline TFT LCD makes viewing your shots easy in all lighting conditions, and the camera offers 25- or 9-thumbnail display playback mode. A slot is included for secure digital (SD) cards. The camera runs on an included lithium-ion battery pack, which provides up to 320 shots between charges.

Product Description
The LEICA DC VARIO-ELMARIT lens on the DMC-FX01 employs an extra high refractive index aspherical lens that makes it possible to incorporate a wide 28mm zoom into its compact body. Spanning all the way from 28mm to 102mm (35mm equivalent), this lens lets you capture everything from sweeping landscapes to shots with deep rows of skyscrapers. Compared with conventional 35mm lens, the DMC-FX01's wide 28mm zoom lens makes it easier to capture an indoor group photo or architectures and sceneries with dynamic width and rich perspective. With its 2.5 inch diagonal size and 207,000 pixels, the high-resolution LCD monitor makes it easy to see text and small thumbnail images. The pixel mixed readout method performed by the CCD increases the brightness level of the live image on the LCD, which greatly facilitates shooting in low lighting. The world's first developed High Angle shooting function also provides easier viewing when you're holding the camera high to shoot over the heads of people in front of you. Thanks to the energy-saving Venus Engine Plus and a long-lasting battery, the slim DMC-FX01 lets you take shot after shot without running out of power. It takes up to 320 shots on a single battery charge. The DMC-FX01 starts up in just 1.6 seconds, has a release time lag as low as 0.005 seconds and can fire off up to 8 consecutive shots at 3 frames per second in Standard mode. It also has Unlimited Consecutive Shooting, so you can keep shooting until the SD Memory Card is full. Furthermore, the 1-point high-speed AF achieves outstanding focusing with speed and precision. Self Timer - 10 seconds, 2 seconds Image Sensor - 1/2.5 inch CCD Scene Mode - Portrait, Sports, Food, Scenery, Night Scenery, Night Portrait, Baby, Soft Skin, Fireworks, Party, Snow, Self-portrait Shutter Speed - 8 - 1/2,000 seconds Power Supply - Lithium-ion Battery Pack (3.7V, 1150 mAh) Battery Life - Up to 320 pictures (CIPA Standard)

1 out of 5 stars WARNINGS about this Panasonic camera   October 1, 2008
Homeric Simile (Los Altos, CA United States)
I'm sort of relieved that my Lumix FX-01 is at Panasonic after I refused to pay $111 to have them fix my lens, which bent to the side.

How did it bend to the side?
See that on/off switch on the top of the camera? The entire time I had the camera it would turn on by itself since it's very easy to hit by accident. Apparently this happened somehow in my pocket and the lens bent and stuck.

When I pointed out to customer service that no other camera has a switch that extends like that - and seemingly for a very good reason - they were not moved.

On another note this camera is HORRIBLE in low light photography. Additionally the colors and photos were always kind of harsh without the nuance and "wysiwyg" quality I got with my old Canon point and shoot.

I HIGHLY recommend getting a Canon instead of this. The main reason I got this Lumix was a 28mm lens, but that wasn't worth it -- especially after my bad experience with their product design.



2 out of 5 stars Don't ever lose the proprietary data cable for this camera   September 23, 2008
Daniel Jacob (Beaverton, OR United States)
This camera takes great pictures and is very compact and portable. I've loved having it, but it has one glaring flaw which is the proprietary data cable. If you lose it, there is no universal cable you can use to transfer your pictures to your computer. You have to buy a very specific replacement cable. Not being able to get my pictures off my own camera has rendered it nearly pointless.


4 out of 5 stars Good choice   August 4, 2008
BikeTom (Washington DC)
I've had this camera for about a year now. I've taken thousands of shots and it has preformed without missing a beat. What I still love most about this camera is it's small size, quick start up and amazingly long battery life. What I like least is the picture quality. It's fine for shots that don't require a great level of detail but use it for something close up or zoom in on a picture you've taken and you'll notice a great deal of "noise" in the image. I'm still happy using it but I know there is better out there. When this one dies I will probably get a Canon based on the several positive reviews I read about that make.


1 out of 5 stars broken re-furbished camera   June 20, 2008
Chris Knierim (Florida)
This vendor sold me a broken, re-furbished camera. On the first day of my trip to Brazil my camera broke. I didn`t drop it or bang it against anything, I used it normally, took some photos that afternoon. I noticed that the camera was draining my batteries (from a previous version of this camera) much faster than normal. I tried turning on my camera the next day and it didn`t work. I tried recharging the batteries again and nothing. Its a shame, because I had a previous version of this Panasonic Luminix camera and they are great cameras`... and of course it also almost ruined my trip to south america as i had to buy another camera from Sony Brasil that isn`t that great in quality (errors on some of the images I took)


4 out of 5 stars Great for Daylight and Outdoor photos   April 1, 2008
Stuart Floyd (New York, NY)
Camera takes great photos if out in the sun or daylight. Indoors or flash are awful from my experience. It is nice and small, sturdy and has served me well for what I like to take photos of and I have several others so this is just one for the pocket when out and about.
