Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX700

$400.00 Released January, 2010

The Pros:Touchscreen works very well, makes navigating menus a breeze. Shutter delay is minimal. Allows you to capture still images while recording movies.

The Cons:Speaker and stereo mics are located on the top of the camera and can be accidentally covered by a finger. Image sharpness and low-light performance are disappointing for a camera this price. Somewhat high price point for a consumer P&S - almost the same cost as higher end options such as the Nikon P7000, Canon S95 or Canon G12.

The Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX700 is a point-and-shoot digital camera by Panasonic. It is a member of the fall 2010 generation of Panasonic Lumix cameras. In addition to regular phototaking, the DMC-FX700 can take 1080p HD quality video in the AVCHD format.

It does, however, still offer many of the other same features such as 14.1 megapixels, SD/SDHC/SDXC memory card slot, and facial recognition with intelligent autofocus.
