The FZ30 is a joy to take pictures with. If not for the price tag, and the image noise problem, this would be one of our favourites. As it stands, it is a solid entry by Panasonic, and will satisfy most users.

The Panasonic DMC-FX9 is a wonderful looking compact camera that takes nice shots, has great battery life and operates very quickly.

A wonderful camera that looks good, feels good and takes great shots. Highly recommended.

An average camera that produces some nice shots, but is marred by minor problems.

A great advanced camera that packs a lot of features into a reasonably small package.

A great advanced camera that offers enthusiasts everything they could want.

A competent entry into the 8 megapixel arena.

A bit of a let down compared to Panasonic's earlier models. If they could fix the camera's colour response they'd have a winner on their hands, but as it stands this mode isn't quite up to the high Panasonic standard.

If you need a 10X zoom in the a compact form factor, then the TZ1 is probably for you. However there are other cameras out there that take better shots, so if this isn't a primary concern you may be better served by another model.

A solid camera that has some nice features and takes reasonable quality pictures.

A big optical zoom combined with robust features and solid image quality make this a good overall performer.

While it does offer some nifty features, the FX07 produces noisy pictures no quite on par with other competing models.
