From the Manufacturer
Panasonic LUMIX FH25The LUMIX DMC-FH25 shoots high-quality 16.1 megapixel images and combines a 28mm wide-angle1 LEICA DC lens with a powerful 8x optical zoom to take amazing photos. Redesigned with an easy-to-hold grip and slim and stylish profile, it features a 2.7" Intelligent LCD, 720p High Definition (HD) video recording and advanced iA (Intelligent Auto) for ease of use.
At the core of the LUMIX FH25 is the Venus Engine VI image processor with Intelligent Resolution technology for shooting clear and crisp digital photos and videos. The camera features a fast response time with shutter release lag times as short as approximately 0.005 seconds and, by adding Sonic Speed AutoFocus (AF), users can easily capture spur-of-the-moment photos. Using Intelligent Resolution technology, the Intelligent Zoom extends the powerful 8x optical zoom to 10x equivalent without compromising picture quality. Venus Engine VIThe high-speed, high-performance Venus Engine VI is incorporated in the DMC-FH25 to enable the recording of beautiful images with higher quality signal processing including the Intelligent Resolution technology. An advanced noise reduction system in the Venus Engine VI applies noise reduction (NR) to luminance noise and chromatic noise separately. As a result, beautiful images with minimal noise can be reproduced all the way up to ISO1600 sensitivity at full resolution for beautiful night shots or dimly lit indoor shots.
iA (Intelligent Auto) Mode Panasonic's popular iA mode, a suite of technologies that engage automatically with no setting changes needed by the user makes it easy for anyone to take beautiful photos. The LUMIX FH25 features two new iA functions AF (Auto Focus) Tracking and Intelligent Exposure. AF Tracking locks onto any subject and keeps it in focus even if it moves, while the Intelligent Exposure optimizes the exposure for each part of an image, preventing blocked shadows and blown highlights and helping ensure that gradation and details are reproduced beautifully. The automatic backlight compensation function activates whenever the camera detects the subject is in backlight. Other features of Panasonic iA, which can be engaged with a dedicated button, include: MEGA O.I.S. (Optical Image Stabilization) Shake Detection The MEGA O.I.S. (Optical Image Stabilizer) in the DMC-FH25 compensates for the blurring caused by hand-shake. Even slight hand-shake movement is accurately detected by a sampling frequency of 4,000 times per second, and compensated to produce sharp, clear images. The Venus Engine VI controls the shifting of the blur-stopping lens with even greater precision to further increase the detection accuracy and correction effect of MEGA O.I.S. It works for zoom shots and macro shots, which are especially susceptible to hand-shake, and lets you shoot in dimly lit rooms or evening illumination to preserve the mood. In short, it lets anybody take beautiful, blur-free shots with ease.

MEGA O.I.S. is automatically turned on in iA Mode and can be turned on or off in Normal Picture Mode or some Scene Modes.Intelligent ISO Control Motion DetectionThe Intelligent ISO Control function in the DMC-FH25 made possible by the Venus Engine VI detects subject movement and automatically adjusts the ISO setting and shutter speed to best suit the movement and light conditions. When it detects subject motion, it automatically raises the ISO setting and increases the shutter speed to prevent motion blur. On the other hand, when the subject is still and no movement is detected, it takes beautiful natural photos with a low ISO setting. The Intelligent ISO Control gives you stunning images with ease because there is no need for complicated settings.
The Intelligent ISO Control function is automatically turned on in iA Mode, and can be turned on or off in Normal Picture Mode.
Face Detection AF/AEHelps to ensure registered faces are captured in focus with appropriate exposure and unwanted red eyes are digitally corrected. The Face Detection AF/AE function1 detects faces and automatically optimizes the focus and exposure settings. It prevents the blurry faces that happen when the camera focuses on something in front of or behind the subject, and keeps faces from appearing dark when shooting indoors or against the light source. It detects up to 15 faces at a time, making it extremely convenient for group photos. Once the camera detects a face, Face Tracking follows it even when the subject moves around. Plus, the system keeps detection on if a face turns sideways to the camera. The DMC-FH25 is also equipped with Digital Red-eye Correction (Red-eye Removal). The camera takes care of the red-eye effect that often happens when shooting with a flash, to ensure attractive facial expression2.

Intelligent Scene Selector - Scene DetectionSelect the best option from: Macro, Portrait, Scenery, Night Portrait, Night Scenery and Sunset by detecting the environment. When the camera is in iA Mode, the Intelligent Scene Selector automatically sets the Scene Mode to Scenery, Portrait, Macro, Night Portrait1, Night Scenery or Sunset. The camera judges it from various detection results including focus and brightness level of the circumstance2. You are free from choosing different settings every time the scene changes when taking images with these frequently used Scene Modes to get beautiful results.LUMIX Image UploaderDMC-FH25 gives you a new form of communication by letting you share your photos and movies. All you have to do is checkmark the photos and movies you want to share and connect the camera or SD/SDHC/SDXC Memory Card to a computer. Uploading automatically starts by simply following the guidance. Facebook can be used for photos and YouTube for movies. You can join these social networking services without having to install any special software. It's easy to share photos and movies on the spot, which means that your friends don't have to wait for you to come back home to see them.
Easy Computer ConnectionSelect photos and movies on the camera menu.
Upload Photos and MoviesThe software is launched after connecting the camera or SD/SDHC/SDXC Memory Card to a computer.
Share with Your FriendsYou can share the URL by e-mail right after the upload!

Intelligent LCDDetects the lighting conditions and controls the brightness level in 11 fine steps, to display the most appropriate setting.
Intelligent Exposure Light DetectionThe Intelligent Exposure function increases the exposure only in under-exposed areas by detecting the brightness level part-by-part in the image. If the background includes the sky, which tends to be easily washed out, the camera automatically adjusts the aperture and shutter speed to keep the setting slightly under-exposed to prevent wash-out while brightening the darkened area by increasing the ISO only in that area. If the background of an indoor portrait receives insufficient lighting from a flash and becomes dark, the ISO sensitivity is raised in only the low-lit area to make it brighter without causing graininess in the subject's face.
The Intelligent Exposure function is automatically turned on in the iA Mode and can be turned on or off in the Normal Picture Mode.

Scene ModesA total of 28 modes, such as Baby, Pet and Sports, allows the user to choose the setting and the camera do the rest. Users can also record the name/birthday of a child or pet and embed the information in the photo and have it printed if desired.
The Scene Mode lets the camera make the optimal settings for you automatically, so anybody can take superb photos with ease. The versatile Scene Mode range, which handles just about any situation and subject type, is a major LUMIX feature. And to make it even simpler to use, the icons and display are designed for easy visibility.The DMC-FH25 lets you store a frequently used Scene Mode setting in the My Scene Mode.DMC-FH25 Scene Modes
Built-in memory 70MBTake photos even when you don't have an SD/SDHC/SDXC Memory Card on hand. The built-in memory holds up to approx. 70MB of image data, which you can later copy to an SD/SDHC/SDXC Memory Card or computer. You can also copy images from a memory card or computer to the built-in memory, and view them on the LCD anytime you like. In addition to providing extra memory when your memory card fills up, this is a great place to store your favorite photos so you can view them anytime you want.
SDHC Memory Cards and SDXC Memory Cards can be used only in equipment that is compatible with their respective formats. If the computer being used does not support SDXC Memory Cards, a message prompting you to format may appear. (Doing so will cause recorded images to be erased so do not choose to format.)

Customer Reviews


I do a lot of photography and videography in low light situations (like almost pitch black sometimes). This light has about a 15 foot throw, and with high ISO and open iris, I'm able to get shots that were previously impossible to get. The only negatives are: the shoe connection is pretty cheap plastic, so it doesn't feel secure on top of the camera while I'm moving around. There is no instruction manual or user guide, but it's pretty simple to figure out (a user manual with actual camcorder battery model numbers would be great!). If you're looking for an inexpensive on camera light for either still or video, this will get the job done.

After reading some reviews decided to purchase this. Very nice lighting ~ I use this instead of flash.
It is very bright ! Many ways to have fun with this !
Worth buying it for the price !

Product Description


From the Manufacturer
The Panasonic LUMIX DMC-GX1 joins Panasonic’s award-winning LUMIX G Series of digital cameras, which are acclaimed for their high image quality with small and compact body and lenses. The new LUMIX GX1 features a 16.01-megapixel Live MOS sensor and Venus Engine, helping to ensure real-to-life images through excellent resolution, image rendering and color reproduction. Even in low-light situations and at maximum 12800 high ISO sensitivity, the LUMIX GX1 can produce stunning photos and videos, and because of its compact size it can be easily carried for daily use. The LUMIX GX1, like all the models in Panasonic’s LUMIX G Series of CSC, adopts Contrast AF for its focus system, so focusing is controlled by the image sensor. When compared with the Phase difference system AF, Contrast AF achieves higher accuracy especially when shooting with a bright lens with small F value. For instance, the accuracy of Contrast AF is approximately 90% while Phase difference AF is approximately 60% at F1.4. Additionally, with the precise Contrast AF system, the LUMIX GX1 achieves high resolution through an optimal balance of resolution and noise reduction, thus producing lifelike image rendering and highly precise Auto Exposure and white balance. To further advance the Contrast AF, the LUMIX GX1 incorporates full-area focusing, making it possible to set focus on any point in the field of view. With the LUMIX GX1’s 3.0-inch touch LCD screen, frame composition is intuitive and easy. The LUMIX GX1 features an ultra high-speed Light Speed AF, which means it can Auto Focus in approximately 0.09 second. This is achieved by reducing the detection time for focusing by the synchronizing the lens and sensor at 120 fps. Plus, the newly-added focus mode AFF (AF Flexible) locks on the focus when the shutter button is half-pressed, however, if the subject moves, the focusing is reset to get the best results. Combined with the Touch AF control, setting and focusing on the subject is incredibly easy and quick. The touch-control system of the LUMIX GX1 lets users set the focus on the subject by simply touching it on the large, 460,000-dot wide-viewing angle LCD. Users can even release the shutter by touching the screen. Once locked on the subject with a touch, the LUMIX GX1 tracks the subject, even when it moves, using the AF tracking function. With a touch on the screen, users can select the part and the size of the AF area, choosing from 1-area AF, Multi-area AF with 23 AF areas and Pinpoint AF, which allows extremely precise focus setting. Despite its compact size, the LUMIX GX1 is extremely intuitive to operate, with an optimized layout of control buttons, a mode dial and dedicated function buttons. Users can customize the two external buttons and two menus tabs to settings they most frequently use so they are easily accessible. In addition, a total of four custom setting patterns can be stored to the camera’s model dial – one on ‘C1’ and three on ‘C2.’ Furthermore, the LUMIX GX1 was designed to enhance its ergonomics, with a grip that fits naturally and comfortably in the hand, despite its flat profile and compact design. Plus, the LUMIX GX1 has a more tactile texture and the mode dial is easy to turn and features print that is easy to read and won’t easily wear. The LUMIX GX1 can record 1920 x 1080 at 60i, with sensor output of 30p, full-High Definition videos in the AVCHD format which excels in both compression efficiency and compatibility with AV equipment for playback. In addition to the practical full-time AF, the Touch AF in video recording also lets users enjoy professional-like rack focusing. Just by pointing at the subject, the focus is shifted so it stands out. With a dedicated video record button on the top, users can instantly start recording videos while shooting photos without any having to make any extra setting adjustments. Along with the full-HD video capabilities, the LUMIX GX1 also features high-quality sound, recorded with Dolby® Digital Stereo Creator. Videos can also be recorded in MP4 format for playback on a PC or other portable electronic devices without having to convert the files. Additional Features
  • A new Level Gauge, which lets the camera detect the horizontal/vertical angle of view with its internal level working with the sensor. In addition, photos shot in portrait aspect will be automatically displayed vertically, regardless of which lens is used.
  • One Push AE adjusts exposure with a single press of the “Fn” (Function) button when it is over/under exposed, which is especially useful when shooting outdoors with open aperture or indoors with fast shutter speed. 
  • Dust Reduction System helps to eliminate dust or foreign matter getting inside the LUMIX GX1 when lenses are being changed. By placing a supersonic wave filter in front of the Live MOS sensor that vibrates vertically around 50,000 times per second, the filter repels dust and other particles effectively.
  • Zoom operation can be controlled with touch control when either of Panasonic’s new LUMIX X Power Zoom lenses are attached. And the zoom speed can also be adjusted in two steps for more precise control.
  • Popular iA and iA Plus modes for beginners looking for automatic shooting in both still and video modes.
  • Increased energy consumption and an approximately 11% longer battery life when compared to the LUMIX DMC-G3, which also uses the same battery pack DMW-BLD10.
The LUMIX G Series is a robust system of bodies and lenses, featuring a total of 14 Micro Four Thirds lenses including the new power zoom X lens – standard zoom lens, telephoto zoom lens, single focal length lens, wide-angle lens, fish-eye lens, macro lens, and even a 3D lens – to fit a variety of shooting scenarios and occasions. The Micro Four Thirds System products are joining today's Four Thirds System products to provide customers with even higher levels of performance in a digital interchangeable lens camera. In addition to LUMIX G lenses, the LUMIX DMC-GX1 can use any interchangeable lens that complies with the Four Thirds System standard via an optional mount adapter for the unlimited number of lens properties. The LUMIX GX1 system camera offers a wide variety of options to choose from to match every shooting situation and shooting style, including: external flashes, PL filters, ND filters, MC protectors, remote shutter, zoom level, battery packs, AC adaptor, DC coupler, straps, cases, bags and more. Plus, with the LUMIX GX1’s hot shoe on the top, users can attach the optional tilt-shift Live View Finder (DMW-LVF2), with approximately 1.4x and 1,440,000-dot equivalent, 100% field of view.

Customer Reviews


Received my GX1 on 12/24, and have been testing all aspects of the camera with 20mm f/1.7 Lumix lens, LVF2 viewfinder, and Metz MZ40-3i flash. So far the camera meets my expectations and many areas it exceeds. I have been looking for a camera that performs close to Leica M7 ; 35mm Leica lens combo in picture quality, portability, build quality, and available lens choice. I also have a LX5 which is a very good camera. GX1 is very similar to LX5 in many respects such as overall body size, buttons layout, picture quality, and menu system. In fact, GX1 looks like a big brother of LX5.
Here's what I have found out so far.
1. Overall build quality is excellent. The wheel button, battery cover, and connection port cover can be a little beefier but not that bad.
2. Picture quality is quite good although I've seen more detailed shots from my Canon 1DS Mark2 with 35mm f1.4 lens combo. But this is not a surprise to me considering the sensor size and price differences.
3. The overall size and weight are just perfect for me. This is one aspect that I like GX1 combo better than Leica combo although Leica was lighter than most 35mm Pro SLRs at the time.
4. Ergonomics is excellent. The camera feels very comfortable in my hand. FYI-my hand is a little bit on the smaller size.
5. The built-in flash is not powerful at all but you can still use it for very near subject and use it as a master for slave flash set up.
6. Metz flash works quite good with GX1 although looks strange because the flash is almost two times the size of the camera. A funny thing I noticed on GX1 is that the mode button is higher than the accessory shoe so my flash knurled knob interferes with the mode button. I rectified the problem by adding a thin nylon washer on the flash. FYI - Metz flash has an extra large diameter locking knob where most don't.
7. The menu layout is very similar to LX5 so I am familiar with it. It's very simple and straight forward.
8. Battery life is okay. I haven't tested it properly but seems lasting long enough. I keep the extra one charged anyway for just in case.
9. Video seems quite good and the stereo microphone picks up sound good too. I am not a video user so do not take my comment too seriously.
I think I have found a holy grail camera. I enjoy it very much.

I really enjoy this camera. It is a delight to use. Its kinda like the poor mans leica. I especially love the touch screen, very responsive- no delay very quick focus with no lag time. I find the layout of buttons very easy and logical to use. No hunting in menus for frequently used functions. It doesn't get much better. I have used olympus epl1 and find it lacking compared to the panasonic in ease of use and functions. The olympus lenses are very compatible and work perfect with the panasonic gx1 if you have them. The screen is bright and works well in bright sunlight. It feels solid and handles easily- like the grip= fits my hand so that its easy to shoot one handed. In short- Its a keeper.

From the Manufacturer
Panasonic LUMIX FH2Create Beautiful, High-Quality Photos and HD VideosThe ultra-compact 14.1 megapixel LUMIX DMC-FH2 features newly-developed retractable, high-quality 28mm wide-angle LEICA DC lenses with a 4x optical zoom. With the new retractable lens, the LUMIX FH2 has approximately 20% slimmer profile than its predecessor, while maintaining exceptional performance. LUMIX DMC-FH2 also records 1280 x 720p High Definition (HD) video.
Venus Engine VIThe high-speed, high-performance Venus Engine VI is incorporated in the DMC-FH2 to enable the recording of beautiful images with higher quality signal processing including the Intelligent Resolution technology. An advanced noise reduction system in the Venus Engine VI applies noise reduction (NR) to luminance noise and chromatic noise separately. As a result, beautiful images with minimal noise can be reproduced all the way up to ISO1600 high sensitivity at full resolution for beautiful night shots or dimly lit indoor shots.

iA (Intelligent Auto) ModeWhen you don't know which mode will give you the best shooting results, or when a sudden photo opportunity pops up and you don't have time to change any settings, simply choose the iA (Intelligent Auto) Mode and let the camera do it all for you. You just choose the iA Mode, aim at your subject, and shoot. Six detection and correction functions are simultaneously activated to optimize the settings so you get stunning photos every time. In addition, the Intelligent Resolution technology is always activated in the iA Mode which results in clearer and higher image quality in every photo with extended zoom range equivalent to 5x by the Intelligent Zoom.
MEGA O.I.S. (Optical Image Stabilizer) - Shake DetectionThe MEGA O.I.S. (Optical Image Stabilizer) in the DMC-FH2 compensates for the blurring caused by hand-shake. Even slight hand-shake movement is accurately detected by a sampling frequency of 4,000 times per second, and compensated to produce sharp, clear images. The Venus Engine VI controls the shifting of the blur-stopping lens with even greater precision to further increase the detection accuracy and correction effect of MEGA O.I.S. It lets you shoot in dimly lit rooms or evening illumination to preserve the mood, and works for macro shots and zoom shots, which are especially susceptible to hand-shake. In short, it lets anybody take beautiful, blur-free shots with ease.
MEGA O.I.S. is automatically turned on in iA Mode and can be turned on or off in Normal Picture Mode or some Scene Modes.

Intelligent ISO Control Motion DetectionThe Intelligent ISO Control function in the DMC-FH2 made possible by the Venus Engine VI detects subject movement and automatically adjusts the ISO setting and shutter speed to best suit the movement and lighting conditions. When it detects subject motion, it automatically raises the ISO setting and increases the shutter speed to prevent motion blur. On the other hand, when the subject is still and no movement is detected, it takes beautiful natural photos with a low ISO setting. The Intelligent ISO Control gives you stunning images with ease because there is no need for complicated settings. The Intelligent ISO Control function is automatically turned on in iA Mode, and can be turned on or off in Normal Picture Mode.

Face Detection AF/AEThe Face Detection AF/AE function1 detects faces and automatically optimizes the focus and exposure settings. It prevents the blurry faces that happen when the camera focuses on something in front of or behind the subject, and keeps faces from appearing dark when shooting indoors or against the light source. It detects up to 15 faces at a time, making it extremely convenient for group photos. Once the camera detects a face, Face Tracking follows it even when the subject moves around. Plus, the system keeps detection on if a face turns sideways to the camera. The DMC-FH2 is also equipped with Digital Red-eye Correction (Red-eye Removal). The camera takes care of the red-eye effect that often happens when shooting with a flash, to ensure attractive facial expression2 1 Face Detection function is automatically turned on in iA Mode and can be turned on or off in Normal Picture Mode or some Scene Modes.2 Digital Red-eye Correction must be turned ON in the menu prior to use.
Intelligent Scene Selector Scene DetectionWith the camera in iA Mode, the Intelligent Scene Selector automatically sets the Scene Mode to Scenery, Portrait, Macro, Night Portrait1, Night Scenery or Sunset. The camera judges it from the various detection results such as focusing and brightness level of the circumstance2. You are free from choosing different settings every time the scene changes when taking images with most frequently used Scene Modes to get beautiful results.1 In iA Mode, Night Portrait is not identified when the flash is turned off.2 With some subject and shooting conditions, it is just not possible to judge the best shooting details. When this happens, it is recommended that you shoot with the Scene Mode that best suits your purpose.

2.7-inch, 230,000-dot High-resolution LCDThe DMC-FH2 large 2.7-inch LCD features high 230,000-dot resolution Intelligent LCD. It automatically adjusts the brightness in 11 steps according to shooting conditions. This LCD provides sharp, clear images in virtually all shooting situations, ranging from nighttime to bright daylight scenes. And it lets you share the fun of viewing images with family and friends. The High-angle Mode makes the display extremely easy to view from a low viewpoint, for example, when taking photos by raising your hand upward to capture the subject over the crowd.

Scene ModeThe Scene Mode lets the camera make the optimal settings for you automatically, so anybody can take superb photos with ease. The versatile Scene Mode range, which handles just about any situation and subject type, is a major LUMIX feature. And to make it even simpler to use, the icons and display are designed for easy visibility. The DMC-FH2 lets you store a frequently used Scene Mode setting in the My Scene Mode. LUMIX Image UploaderThe DMC-FH2 gives you a new form of communication by letting you share your photos and movies. All you have to do is checkmark the photos and movies you want to share and connect the camera or SD/SDHC/SDXC Memory Card to a computer.

Customer Reviews


The Panasonic Lumix DMC-FH2 is a is part of the Lumix line of cameras. Lumix cameras range from SLR-like sophistication to simple point and shoot meant for taking pictures of friends and family at get-togethers. I've used cameras in the Lumix line for several years and I've always been pleased by quality of the pictures. For some reason, the pictures from a Lumix really "pop" compared to other cameras.
The DMC-FH2 is consistent with other Lumix cameras. There are multiple scene modes available for control of your pictures, generally, you choose Intelligent Auto (IA) when you want to camera to choose the correct combination of flash, depth of field, focus points, and shutter speed. You can also manually choose how the camera will operate based on scene type such as portrait, night photography, or landscape (there are many variations).
Unlike others cameras in the Lumix line, this does not have a dedicated mode button; that is done scrolling through options on the screen. The main disadvantage of this approach is that instead of a dedicated movie button, you must scroll to the correct mode on the screen. I found this inconvenient and does not lend itself to quickly jumping into movie mode when the need arises.
The zoom range isn't particularly wide at 5x, but given the compact dimensions of this camera, its reasonable. It's sufficient for most uses, although it may leave you wishing for more range if you're travelling. On the other hand, the zoom button is positioned nicely, so it's very easy to quickly frame your picture. Shutter lag is non-existent. The rest of the controls are consistent with the Panasonic line from the last 4-5 years which is a good thing. All in all, the experience using it is overwhelmingly positive.
The pictures themselves are excellent and well lit using either natural light or the fill-flash. The 14M pixels (!) give you plenty pixels to blow-up, crop, or do editing, but keep in mind this is a small camera with a tiny lens, so don't expect to get sharp pictures if you blow the pictures up on your PC. For most uses, I don't believe this will be an issue.
Movies mode is a bit disappointing. In addition to the control problems I mentioned previously, the camera will not zoom in or out once you start taking the movie. Whatever the zoom position was when you started taking the movie, thats what you'll get. I can't figure out why they added this limitation (motor noise from the zoom perhaps?), but its particularly frustrating and makes the movie function significantly less useful. The good news is the movies are in QuickTime .mov format so should be readable and editable on either PC's or Macs in almost any picture or movie editing software.
The screen, like all new Lumix cameras is big, bright and useful to determine if your last pictures was blurry. Whatever Panasonic uses as the material for this screen is very scratch resistant. I always carry the Lumix cameras in my pocket with no cover and the screens have never scratched.
Battery life seems reasonable. In standby mode, the batteries do not drain away too quickly, and in general use where you take 1-2 pictures, turn off the camera, then shut it off and repeat, I was able to go an entire weekend travelling and at party taking about 150 pictures and the camera's battery indicator showed full.
In summary, this is a compact, well made camera that is perfect to carry along in a shirt pocket when a bulkier camera doesn't make sense. If your photographic needs are simple, its a great one-and-only camera. It has all the usual goodness of the Lumix line (sharp pictures, vibrant colors), an IA mode that will suit 90% of all point-and-shoot needs. And the ability to manually choose a scene mode when the IA system isn't doing what you need.
Pros:
1) Consistently excellent pictures
2) Small, compact
3) Beautifully made
4) Ease of use
5) Intelligent Auto (IA) makes photography easy
6) Control system maturity
Cons:
1) No zoom in movie mode
2) No dedicated movie button
3) Somewhat limited zoom range

I bought this camera with the main intention of using it for digiscoping with a Vortex Razor spotting scope. The camera worked excellent for this purpose, no vignetting, easy to change ISO setting and it takes bright crisp images through the scope. I also have been using it as a pocket point and shoot camera and the pictures it takes are amazing. Macro shots of spring flowers are bright and crisp and I have taken some of my best coastal sunset pictures with this camera using the sunset feature. My other camera is a Nikon Coolpix S6000 and the Lumix has became my go to camera.
Battery life seems good but I wish that it could be charged using the USB cable. You have to take the battery out of the camera and insert it into the wall charger.
One reviewer said they had difficulty viewing the LCD screen on a bright day. I live in Nevada and we have a lot of bright days and I haven't had any trouble viewing the screen.
I would recommend this camera for everyday general use and digiscoping.

I made a mistake. Over the years I learned that if you buy cheap you get cheap. I keep having to relearn it and this is one of those times. It was delivered in a timely fashion, no complaints. It looks good. When I tested it in the house it seemed fine. (I want to mention that the last time I bought a 2X tele extender it was made by a high end lens maker and it cost almost $200) I haven't had the necessity to use this tele converter until today. Outside in the bright sun. Several aberrations in the lens that prevent it from being focused as they catch the sun and just make their own light pattern in the visual. For $24.99 I am not going to fight with anyone especially since I bought this many months ago. But I am relearning the lesson that if you buy cheap you probably are going to get cheap. In my own business I tell people that with all products there is someone somewhere who is willing to take something out of a product so that he can sell it cheaper and those who shop only price are his legitimate prey. This is one of those items.

Customer Reviews


I've owned the FZ-40 for 6 days.
As an active traveler, I have used several different cameras. You really can't go wrong with any of the mega-zoom point and shoots - they all have their pros and cons.
However, the Panasonic FZ-40 is probably as good as P;S's will get with the current technology. Some day someone will figure out how to get a bigger and better sensor to work with a mega-zoom lens, but until then, the FZ-40 is my choice.
This camera is easy to use, quick focusing, and has all the manual adjustments and flexibility you will ever need. It's well-designed and built for the active photographer. It also has a long battery life, but finding replacement batteries is a problem that Panasonic needs to clear up fast! Image quality is excellent compared to its competitors. Image stabilization is outstanding, even at full 24X zoom I don't need a monopod or tripod (I need one with my Olympus SP-800). The zoom is also quiet and smooth. ISO looks good up through 800. I'm still experimenting with macro shots - I'm not real happy yet, but it's probably me. I can't tell a lot of difference between normal and fine JPEG's, except for the file size. The EVF is very good - I can't live without a good view finder. I've tried zooming in the wilds with an LCD screen, and it just doesn't cut it!
All in all, I rate this camera as excellent. I considered the FZ-100, but decided I did not need, nor want, the extra features. Besides, I've always had good results with the small CCD sensors.
I've posted some sample pictures here in the customer images section.

It's too early for me to give a full review as I've only had this camera for 2 weeks and took it on a vacation trip. First BEWARE. You need 52 mm filters for this camera, not 46 mm as Amazon suggests. Maybe the FZ35 had 46mm? I've just had a 46mm polarizer delivered and it's too small.
The zoom is amazing. When using movie mode, I zoomed right in from wide to telephoto and the focus was spot on the whole way. The camera is so light, which is why I chose it over the Canon equivalent. The batteries are expensive, but lasted a week and I filled a 4 Gb card before i needed to recharge. You can keep your AAA battery cameras, far too heavy to carry around for my liking.
The manual focus override is useful. I'm struggling a bit with the various auto focus options on non-movie modes, so have been overriding until I learn more. the instruction manual(on CD) is a 233 pages long! The intelligent auto will suffice more often than not.
There are too many features though. Like cars, cameras are just getting too damned complicated. It's the 80/20 theory I guess. I'll use 20% of the features 80% of the time. I'm sure any 8 year old kid will be able to show me how everything works though! How old am I? My first camera was an Agfa Sillette, I used flash bulbs! I'll say no more......

You just choose iA Mode, aim at your subject, and shoot. 4 detection and correction functions are simultaneously activated to optimize the settings, so you get stunning photos every time. HD Movie Recording (1,280 x 720 pixels at 30 fps in Motion JPEG Format)
The DMC-FH20) can record motion images in high-definition (1,280 x 720 pixels at 30 fps in Motion JPEG format). The pixel mixed readout method enables bright motion-image recording even in low-light settings. The DMC-FH20 can also record full-size motion images in WVGA (848 x 480 pixels at 30 fps) or standard motion images in VGA (640 x 480 pixels at 30 fps) and QVGA (320 x 240 pixels at 30 fps). Extended Battery Life
The energy-saving Venus Engine IV image-processing engine and the efficient, rechargeable lithium-ion battery which has been slimmed down to fit into thinner camera bodies work together to extend the shooting time of the DMC-FH20. This lets users take approx. 300 shots on a single battery charge. Based on the CIPA standard.
The DMC-FH20 sports a powerful 8x optical zoom lens (35mm camera equivalent: 28-224mm). This gives you highly natural expressions from people and animals that you can't get close to. And its slim, compact, pocket-sized body can easily go wherever you do for both everyday snapshots and traveling.

Customer Reviews


Purchased camera for an upcoming trip. Wanted a point and shoot that was pocket sized and took good pictures. I was going to get a Canon Powershot but then started looking at Panasonic. I feel like I got more for my money. Maybe because Panasonic is not yet a household name in cameras. A few clicks online will reveal they are "joined at the hips" with Leica.
Using the iA mode delivered great pictures everytime. Did not take a bad picture yet, the smarts built-in really work! Focusing time is short, but you have to let the camera focus before pressing all the way. Zoom is great for such a small package, but image stabilization is a must without tripod. Also has wide angle lens which is a plus, not readily available in competing models. Have not played with any of the scene modes, I let iA handle that. And when I'll need the manual modes, I'll be reaching for the dSLR where I can play with buttons.
Played briefly with the video mode and was happily surprised. It is not a camcorder replacement, but it is better than expected. Sreen is large and bright under all experienced conditions so far. It does have a mode that adjusts LCD brightness to ambient light automatically. I do miss the viewfinder but I would trade a bigger LCD for a poor viewfinder anytime. Great point and shoot camera so far, good optics, it does what it should. Will probably look for a second battery soon, but I am a little confused at moment on which one to buy.

There are a lot of good things about this litte camera.
1. It's little. I purchased this for a hiking trip to California, so I needed it to be easily stowable. It is.
2. Ease of use. My previous camera was a Cannon, and I did not find there was any learning curve in adapting to a different menu set-up. I love the quick menu- it is incredibly convenient.
3. Ability to switch between file sizes easily. All on the quick menu.
4. Very good picture quality. I've been spoiled by Cannon, but Panasonic did OK.
My biggest complaint: the zoom. I wanted to upgrade my zoom from the 4x I had on my Cannon to something with a little more...Ooomph. I figured the 8x would be great. Except for the fact that this camera can't seem to be able to focus between 3x and 6x. If I'm set to one extreme or the other (either zoomed all the way back or all the way in), it's fine. But as I zoom in the camera can't seem to find a spot to focus on. I've tried pushing down the button slightly, getting the zoom box and trying to show the camera where I wanted it to focus on, but that doesn't work either. I've tried other cameras with high zoom and have not run into the same issue. As the camera zooms, the focus stays true. The FH20 starts off focused, gets blurry, and then focuses again. Pretty disappointing performance when you're trying to shoot landscapes, and everything seems to be in that middle range.
All in all this camera was an OK purchase. I like the burst shooting and the video recording, although I think it would have been better to add the video feature to the quick menu.

From the Manufacturer
Panasonic LUMIX FH2Create Beautiful, High-Quality Photos and HD VideosThe ultra-compact 14.1 megapixel LUMIX DMC-FH2 features newly-developed retractable, high-quality 28mm wide-angle LEICA DC lenses with a 4x optical zoom. With the new retractable lens, the LUMIX FH2 has approximately 20% slimmer profile than its predecessor, while maintaining exceptional performance. LUMIX DMC-FH2 also records 1280 x 720p High Definition (HD) video.
Venus Engine VIThe high-speed, high-performance Venus Engine VI is incorporated in the DMC-FH2 to enable the recording of beautiful images with higher quality signal processing including the Intelligent Resolution technology. An advanced noise reduction system in the Venus Engine VI applies noise reduction (NR) to luminance noise and chromatic noise separately. As a result, beautiful images with minimal noise can be reproduced all the way up to ISO1600 high sensitivity at full resolution for beautiful night shots or dimly lit indoor shots.

iA (Intelligent Auto) ModeWhen you don't know which mode will give you the best shooting results, or when a sudden photo opportunity pops up and you don't have time to change any settings, simply choose the iA (Intelligent Auto) Mode and let the camera do it all for you. You just choose the iA Mode, aim at your subject, and shoot. Six detection and correction functions are simultaneously activated to optimize the settings so you get stunning photos every time. In addition, the Intelligent Resolution technology is always activated in the iA Mode which results in clearer and higher image quality in every photo with extended zoom range equivalent to 5x by the Intelligent Zoom.
MEGA O.I.S. (Optical Image Stabilizer) - Shake DetectionThe MEGA O.I.S. (Optical Image Stabilizer) in the DMC-FH2 compensates for the blurring caused by hand-shake. Even slight hand-shake movement is accurately detected by a sampling frequency of 4,000 times per second, and compensated to produce sharp, clear images. The Venus Engine VI controls the shifting of the blur-stopping lens with even greater precision to further increase the detection accuracy and correction effect of MEGA O.I.S. It lets you shoot in dimly lit rooms or evening illumination to preserve the mood, and works for macro shots and zoom shots, which are especially susceptible to hand-shake. In short, it lets anybody take beautiful, blur-free shots with ease.
MEGA O.I.S. is automatically turned on in iA Mode and can be turned on or off in Normal Picture Mode or some Scene Modes.

Intelligent ISO Control Motion DetectionThe Intelligent ISO Control function in the DMC-FH2 made possible by the Venus Engine VI detects subject movement and automatically adjusts the ISO setting and shutter speed to best suit the movement and lighting conditions. When it detects subject motion, it automatically raises the ISO setting and increases the shutter speed to prevent motion blur. On the other hand, when the subject is still and no movement is detected, it takes beautiful natural photos with a low ISO setting. The Intelligent ISO Control gives you stunning images with ease because there is no need for complicated settings. The Intelligent ISO Control function is automatically turned on in iA Mode, and can be turned on or off in Normal Picture Mode.

Face Detection AF/AEThe Face Detection AF/AE function1 detects faces and automatically optimizes the focus and exposure settings. It prevents the blurry faces that happen when the camera focuses on something in front of or behind the subject, and keeps faces from appearing dark when shooting indoors or against the light source. It detects up to 15 faces at a time, making it extremely convenient for group photos. Once the camera detects a face, Face Tracking follows it even when the subject moves around. Plus, the system keeps detection on if a face turns sideways to the camera. The DMC-FH2 is also equipped with Digital Red-eye Correction (Red-eye Removal). The camera takes care of the red-eye effect that often happens when shooting with a flash, to ensure attractive facial expression2 1 Face Detection function is automatically turned on in iA Mode and can be turned on or off in Normal Picture Mode or some Scene Modes.2 Digital Red-eye Correction must be turned ON in the menu prior to use.
Intelligent Scene Selector Scene DetectionWith the camera in iA Mode, the Intelligent Scene Selector automatically sets the Scene Mode to Scenery, Portrait, Macro, Night Portrait1, Night Scenery or Sunset. The camera judges it from the various detection results such as focusing and brightness level of the circumstance2. You are free from choosing different settings every time the scene changes when taking images with most frequently used Scene Modes to get beautiful results.1 In iA Mode, Night Portrait is not identified when the flash is turned off.2 With some subject and shooting conditions, it is just not possible to judge the best shooting details. When this happens, it is recommended that you shoot with the Scene Mode that best suits your purpose.

2.7-inch, 230,000-dot High-resolution LCDThe DMC-FH2 large 2.7-inch LCD features high 230,000-dot resolution Intelligent LCD. It automatically adjusts the brightness in 11 steps according to shooting conditions. This LCD provides sharp, clear images in virtually all shooting situations, ranging from nighttime to bright daylight scenes. And it lets you share the fun of viewing images with family and friends. The High-angle Mode makes the display extremely easy to view from a low viewpoint, for example, when taking photos by raising your hand upward to capture the subject over the crowd.

Scene ModeThe Scene Mode lets the camera make the optimal settings for you automatically, so anybody can take superb photos with ease. The versatile Scene Mode range, which handles just about any situation and subject type, is a major LUMIX feature. And to make it even simpler to use, the icons and display are designed for easy visibility. The DMC-FH2 lets you store a frequently used Scene Mode setting in the My Scene Mode. LUMIX Image UploaderThe DMC-FH2 gives you a new form of communication by letting you share your photos and movies. All you have to do is checkmark the photos and movies you want to share and connect the camera or SD/SDHC/SDXC Memory Card to a computer.

Customer Reviews


The Panasonic Lumix DMC-FH2 is a is part of the Lumix line of cameras. Lumix cameras range from SLR-like sophistication to simple point and shoot meant for taking pictures of friends and family at get-togethers. I've used cameras in the Lumix line for several years and I've always been pleased by quality of the pictures. For some reason, the pictures from a Lumix really "pop" compared to other cameras.
The DMC-FH2 is consistent with other Lumix cameras. There are multiple scene modes available for control of your pictures, generally, you choose Intelligent Auto (IA) when you want to camera to choose the correct combination of flash, depth of field, focus points, and shutter speed. You can also manually choose how the camera will operate based on scene type such as portrait, night photography, or landscape (there are many variations).
Unlike others cameras in the Lumix line, this does not have a dedicated mode button; that is done scrolling through options on the screen. The main disadvantage of this approach is that instead of a dedicated movie button, you must scroll to the correct mode on the screen. I found this inconvenient and does not lend itself to quickly jumping into movie mode when the need arises.
The zoom range isn't particularly wide at 5x, but given the compact dimensions of this camera, its reasonable. It's sufficient for most uses, although it may leave you wishing for more range if you're travelling. On the other hand, the zoom button is positioned nicely, so it's very easy to quickly frame your picture. Shutter lag is non-existent. The rest of the controls are consistent with the Panasonic line from the last 4-5 years which is a good thing. All in all, the experience using it is overwhelmingly positive.
The pictures themselves are excellent and well lit using either natural light or the fill-flash. The 14M pixels (!) give you plenty pixels to blow-up, crop, or do editing, but keep in mind this is a small camera with a tiny lens, so don't expect to get sharp pictures if you blow the pictures up on your PC. For most uses, I don't believe this will be an issue.
Movies mode is a bit disappointing. In addition to the control problems I mentioned previously, the camera will not zoom in or out once you start taking the movie. Whatever the zoom position was when you started taking the movie, thats what you'll get. I can't figure out why they added this limitation (motor noise from the zoom perhaps?), but its particularly frustrating and makes the movie function significantly less useful. The good news is the movies are in QuickTime .mov format so should be readable and editable on either PC's or Macs in almost any picture or movie editing software.
The screen, like all new Lumix cameras is big, bright and useful to determine if your last pictures was blurry. Whatever Panasonic uses as the material for this screen is very scratch resistant. I always carry the Lumix cameras in my pocket with no cover and the screens have never scratched.
Battery life seems reasonable. In standby mode, the batteries do not drain away too quickly, and in general use where you take 1-2 pictures, turn off the camera, then shut it off and repeat, I was able to go an entire weekend travelling and at party taking about 150 pictures and the camera's battery indicator showed full.
In summary, this is a compact, well made camera that is perfect to carry along in a shirt pocket when a bulkier camera doesn't make sense. If your photographic needs are simple, its a great one-and-only camera. It has all the usual goodness of the Lumix line (sharp pictures, vibrant colors), an IA mode that will suit 90% of all point-and-shoot needs. And the ability to manually choose a scene mode when the IA system isn't doing what you need.
Pros:
1) Consistently excellent pictures
2) Small, compact
3) Beautifully made
4) Ease of use
5) Intelligent Auto (IA) makes photography easy
6) Control system maturity
Cons:
1) No zoom in movie mode
2) No dedicated movie button
3) Somewhat limited zoom range

I bought this camera with the main intention of using it for digiscoping with a Vortex Razor spotting scope. The camera worked excellent for this purpose, no vignetting, easy to change ISO setting and it takes bright crisp images through the scope. I also have been using it as a pocket point and shoot camera and the pictures it takes are amazing. Macro shots of spring flowers are bright and crisp and I have taken some of my best coastal sunset pictures with this camera using the sunset feature. My other camera is a Nikon Coolpix S6000 and the Lumix has became my go to camera.
Battery life seems good but I wish that it could be charged using the USB cable. You have to take the battery out of the camera and insert it into the wall charger.
One reviewer said they had difficulty viewing the LCD screen on a bright day. I live in Nevada and we have a lot of bright days and I haven't had any trouble viewing the screen.
I would recommend this camera for everyday general use and digiscoping.
