Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX35 ‘has impressive credentials’

A technological website has praised the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX35 for having plenty of features.

Techradar.com says that Panasonic has upgraded the device to a ten-megapixel camera with a 25mm ultra-wide angle lens, which it claims works "impressively well".

It did however find problems with the Lumix DMC-FX35’s switches and buttons, which it says some users might find "intimidating" and could render the camera unsuitable for the "casual photographer".

"We found the auto focus and auto ?ash were both a bit hit and miss," said the site.

"Interior shots were very dark unless we forced the ?ash, but once they were properly lit the photos were very ?at and lacked vibrancy or depth."

The website recently said that the Canon Ixus IS digital camera was "very easy to use" and perfect when required for "instant action" shots.
