The Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX35 Digital Camera has an ultra slim body - yet it contains a professional quality 4x wide angle zoom lens (equivalent to a 25 - 100mm lens in 35mm terms) permitting you to easily capture a large group of people, or expansive architectural structures and landscapes with dynamic width and rich perspective. The telephoto end of the camera's zoom can also be extended an additional 7.1x (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 high as ISO 1250, providing fast camera functioning, and keeping power usage down so you can keep shooting pictures all day.
The DMC-FX35 has a bright, high resolution LCD display that measures 2.5" diagonally so you can easily frame your shots and then review and share your pictures with family and friends. The camera's controls are also very intuitive with a logical mode dial, a one-touch function button (to quickly access commonly used menu selections) and a slew of scene modes for getting the best possible exposure, without the need to manually adjust all of the camera settings. In addition, the camera is extremely energy efficient, so that the included lithium-ion battery can provide 300 shots on a single charge.

Comments about Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX35 Digital Camera (Silver):
I wanted a p&s to carry around with me, because a DSLR just isn't practical for that. I've only had it for a few days so I haven't had time to check out all of the functions yet. But from what I have seen I'm very happy with this camera. I am use to using a DSLR, so a p&s can sometimes be disappointing. I chose the Panasonic because it has the Leica 25mm lens. I am impressed by the image quality & I like the wide angle. If you are a casual user you may not notice the difference in image quality, but if you are an experienced user, you'll like this one.

Great overall camera - intelligent mode works very well and the wide lens really captures great shots in small areas. I like the cameras movie mode and it works well with my Apple Mac.
I wish Zoom was available during movie recording
