Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX55

As a high end model with a wide angle camera Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX55 is very close to the Panasonic Lumix FX33, but it is equipped with a 3 “display. Good plus, which will be of interest to many people. It is clear that the weight of the camera has turned more than a model with a smaller screen, but the DMC-FX55 is still in the average level for compact models. We have a special display modes of high brightness, good viewing angles, though, and today there is better – some of the displays without any additional adjustments give angles approaching 180 degrees.

Like other models in the lineup, FX55 has a wide angle and decent zoom, which is accompanied with optical stabilization, a characteristic for the cameras Panasonic. The availability of a wide angle – 28 mm equivalent – an obvious advantage for the photograph, when you can not leave adequate distance or survey conducted during any action. On the other hand, you get a standard zoom, which is actually enough for everyday tasks, such as for portrait shooting.

The traditional characteristics of the categories, namely: the automatic mode, and plot program, backed regime of “intellectual ISO“, which increases the percentage of successful images of moving objects or in poor lighting, when the camera is not only self-regulates the sensitivity depending on the lighting, but also determines the movement of an object. Sensitivity can be set manually to ISO 1 600, if you like to choose yourself, but you can also restrict and limit the sensitivity to the “intellectual ISO”, if you are afraid that the quality will drop too much. Well, the result is quite good: the camera allows you to get good shots in all situations.

 Following the tradition of Panasonic, FX55 camera gives sharp and detailed pictures. It is pleasant to work because of good responsiveness, the camera focuses quickly and accurately. In modes with high sensitivity suppression system “noise” is working well, the loss of detail, for the most part, remained in an acceptable framework. However, as with other compact sensors 1 / 2, 5, is better to limit their ambitions ISO 400 or 800, so as not to lose color or detail.

 In general, Lumix DMC-FX55 – good camera, easy to work and to ensure good quality images. Attractive choice in the category of automatic models. Only the price makes a few bones, but the majority of competitors, it is not lower.
