At first glance, the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX 37 does not just jump out, you can. Designer does not handsome but conservative, and its 10-megapixel sensor is fairly standard. What makes this point-and-shoot special is that it compresses the wide-angle lens with 5 X zoom compact body. To start, it offers good image quality thanks to Panasonic's intelligent Auto mode with the 720 p video recording. Unfortunately, among the FX37, when it comes to actions in the field of Photography.
You can see, the first thing about the FX37 is the fact that, in spite of its wide 5 X lens is surprisingly compact. 3.2 Ounces is it weighs less than even a 4-Ounce Casio Exilim EX-Z9, which tells you a lot, because at the time of adopting the Casio popping out of thin, lightweight cameras — in particular, the motorizr the shallower 4 X lens.
In the event of such a small camera (FX37 is only 3.7 x 2.0 x 0.9 inches) of the slower is a liquid crystal display is more than they were greater than the amount referred to in point and shoots-: is only 2.5-inch 2-inch screen or larger than competing models. In addition, it is completely frame (4: 3), even if the users have the possibility of Shooting 16: 9 aspect ratio.
FX37 template is a handsome and as little as possible.It has a matte silver body (it also comes in black, blue or white) and a broad range of the lens in occupies a good chunk of the front, the mountain of the LCD on the back. [1] [2], there are five ways to the right side of the air navigation services in the writing pad, which controls than exposure, self-timer, macro, use the double-click, and controls. By using the navigation menus, RCA had. Hereinafter referred to as the keyboard is on the left side of the screen and menu buttons, of which the latter doubles the delete button.
It is also on the back of the switch to switch between modes of transport for playback and fired and — we love this detail — without disrupting your dial-up networking connection, hidden camera, with different scene modes of top below the surface. These include the intelligent auto, Movie, normal Auto-Scene menu.The power button on the Top are small and the shutter is set out in the annex to the zoom controls, which we found convenient.
One of the biggest selling Score FX37 is that its COMPACT body packed inside the wide-angle lens is the powerful 5 x zoom. even though it might affect such as the impressive zoom factor — taking into account the fact that almost every camera manufacturer has super zoom digicam with a coefficient of at least 12 X — 5 x is more than enough for most Shooting situations. Standing above the ground, we had the opportunity to meet our frame at the top of the Skyscraper. Our cityscape shots, it was the widest point of the lens with a wide cinematic look.
25 in order to supplement the particulars of the scene modes, the Panasonic is an intelligent FX37 Auto mode (iA) features, such as Intelligent Exposure, Red-eye correction, Mega o.i.s (optical image stabilization), face detection and fast autofocus series. [1] [2] other companies of the intelligent automatic modes of transport, such as the iA detects and selects the appropriate environment shot the scene in the status and settings accordingly.
In and out, all of our shots showed lively, but accurate colors. Our macro shots of flowers showed a lot of details, but when we had defined the IA camera, sometimes was slow to change the macro mode, and adjust the focus. Speaking to slow, the biggest weakness is its FX37 operation performance. Although all of our images by moving objects looked sharply, they were useless shutter two-second delay;the camera captured picture time really wanted was for a long time out of the frame.
Another gripe: FX37 is not done, and we wanted to lentäjiensä backlit shot, even if Intelligent has been addressed has been assigned.When we used the camera in these circumstances, we could not have been drawn up in accordance with the data in the foreground, because these objects looked too dark.FujiFilm FinePix F100fd equivalent (although twice as heavy) point-and-shoot with 5 X zoom, had a much better job in more detail in the highlights and shadows.
FX37, however, hold a very low light.When we took some shots in the Park after sundown, the camera was very brightening face at the same time, the US registered dimming the background after dark, by analogy, we took the landscape shots does not search for unnaturally bright.This series of our favorite picture is displayed in the Fading blue sky with a romantic scene without trees, which seemed so life, as it did in the lights.
Like the previous models, including Panasonic FX500 FX37 fashion shoots 720 p video at 30 fps.It illustrates the automatically cinematic in 16: 9 ratio and material, I looked at fluid.Unfortunately, however, was weak and rumbling sound of traffic, almost closed Street musician, playing the saxophone more subtle sound. Zoom does not work during the filming.
As we said earlier, this is not a fast camera Takes 2 seconds to begin. [3] [4] and 4 ready themselves to consecutive Hunt (many dot-and-shoots We've tested in recent times taken for approx. 3 seconds between shots) Then the seal. [1] [2] 2-second delay.
The speed of the FX37 is missing, but it makes for longevity. Should THE HD recording of exhausts some cameras batteries, such as the Kodak EasyShare Z1085 IS, it does not put in the levying of the FX37 camera After dent. once, we had the opportunity to Shoot several 720 p videos and take dozens of pictures and was still 3 3 battery bars remaining.
Slow speeds, the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX 37 is not ideal for action photographers. $ 349 is also more expensive than many of the point and shoots, but this price do not have to choose a compact design and versatile lens. may not be similarly priced Nikon Coolpix S60, which sports a 3.5-inch touch screen, such as hip, but it does not disappoint.
the GH1 continues with its 'hybrid' stills/video philosophy but adds a host of tweaks and improvements, foremost of which is a brand new 18Mp multi-aspect ratio sensor offering 16Mp output and an ISO range of 160-12800. The GH2 also inherits many features from the DMC-G2, including a revised control layout and touch-screen control. We've had a pre-production GH2 in the office for a few days, so click through to read all about it in our hands-on preview.
