Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX33 Digital Camera
Panasonic - DMCFX33KRelease Date: Aug 2007
The Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX33 Digital Camera has an ultra slim body - yet it contains a professional quality 3.6x wide angle zoom lens that is equivalent to a 28-100mm lens in 35mm terms permitting you to easily capture a large group of people, or expansive architectural structures and landscapes wit... Read More dynamic width and rich perspective. The telephoto end of the cameras zoom can also be extended an additional 5.7x (when shooting 3 megapixels or less) with minimal loss of image quality thanks to the Extra Optical Zoom feature. The top quality Leica DC Vario-Elmarit lens also provides an ingenious combination of two anti blur systems (MEGA O.I.S and Intelligent ISO control), ensuring that you'll get consistently sharp and bright images, regardless of the shooting situation. Furthermore, the Venus Engine III advanced image-processing engine can record at a sensitivity setting as a high as ISO 1250, providing fast camera functioning, and keeps power usage down so you can keep shooting pictures all day.

Strengths: easy to use, multi functions, "user friendly mode", face tracking
Weaknesses: None
Summary: I bought this camera because my other lumix was accidentally dropped and wasn't working properly. I didn't hesitate to get the same brand. I told all my friends about it and they bought one too.

Strengths: Compact, easy to use, cute.
Weaknesses: Buttons small, pictures cloudy.
Summary: I didn't care for the quality of the photos even though the features on this camera are good. Indoor pictures are somewhat pinkish and clouded over compared to other cameras I've used. Could be I got a defective camera, but the buttons are still small and a little flimsy. Outdoors may be better, but for indoor shots I would not want it.

Strengths: great optics, good pictures, intelligent auto mode, small
Weaknesses: lack of manual control over shutter speed, etc., battery compartment cover looks flimsy, and it may break, .mov (quicktime) videos
Summary: I really like this camera. I used to be a semi-serious film photographer, but don't do that too much anymore. I bought this camera because I wanted something really small that I could carry with me. It is the smallest camera that I have seen, besides one of the Casio exlim's. The pictures that it takes a really good! I think they are better than a lot of the pictures that some higher resolution cameras take (10-12 megapixel - this one has 8). I would definitely recommend it, so far, to any sort of photographer, except those who want to be able to control shutter speed, aperture, etc (get a dSLR).
