From the Manufacturer
Like the entire 2007 Lumix line, the Lumix DMC-FX55 incorporates Panasonic's revolutionary Intelligent Image Stabilization technologies, and is among the first Panasonic cameras to offer Intelligent Auto Mode, a system which combines Mega Optical Image Stabilization (O.I.S) and Intelligent ISO Control with three new features: Face Detection System, Intelligent Scene Selector, and Continuous Autofocus. The camera combines 8.1-megapixel resolution with a 28mm wide-angle Leica DC lens that features 3.6x optical zoom.

The new Intelligent Auto Mode available on the DMC-FX55 includes:

• Intelligent Scene Selector, which automatically selects the appropriate scene mode from the most frequently-used modes such as Portrait, Scenery, Macro, Night Scenery, and Night Portrait;
• the Face Detection System, which helps the camera to focus, set autoexposure, and detects up to 15 human faces, capturing them clearly and brightly; and
• Continuous Autofocus, which allows the camera to maintain focus on the subject without having to press the shutter button halfway, minimizing autofocus time.

Intelligent Image Stabilization, a feature across the entire 2007 Lumix digital camera line, comprises two features: MEGA O.I.S. which helps compensate for the effects of hand-shake, and and Intelligent ISO Control, which takes into account the photo subject is moving and adjusts the ISO setting. Combining these two anti-blur features helps the DMCFX55 to photograph clear, crisp images.

In addition, the DMC-FX55 features the Venus Engine III, which supports a new High Sensitivity mode that allows images to be shot at a setting of up to ISO 6400. This is sensitive enough to capture subjects in low-light conditions without the need for a flash. Also, the high-speed Burst Shooting mode enables up to seven shots to be taken per second.

Other advanced features include:

• The DMC-FX55 has a 3-inch LCD screen.
• 27MB of built-in memory, perfect for backing up SDHC/SD memory card recording.
• The new Title Edit function allows the inputting of text to provide additional context to images. Additional functions for adding information to photos include the Text Stamp function and the Travel Date function.
• Category Playback sorts images into categories such as portraits, events, baby, etc., to allow for easy playback and creation of slideshows.
• Clipboard function allows the user to hold and retrieve certain images that may be useful on a trip, such as a photo of a map or train schedule.
• The DMC-FX55 is available in silver, black, and pink.

Customer Reviews

Great Camera and Features - small package!!
This camera has proven to be far better than I could have ever hoped!! I purchased this camera after my previous point-shoot style camera was damaged while sandbagging a levee in Iowa...

The Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX55P was ordered as a hurried replacement before I left on a trip. The camera has excellent lense quality and an outstanding array of features. I really appreciated that the menus and functioning are pretty intuitive if you have experience using cameras. I've mostly worked with Canon products previously and still like that gear very much. Even though I had not used a Panasonic before, locating features was easy and intuitive. I purchased this unit instead of the Canon because the Panasonic is a smaller, flatter camera that offers all of the same features that I wanted for much less money.

Simply put, I have not used a small camera which produced such high quality photos and offered such great flexibility of use. The flash is powerful and offers several settings. I've used the camera in a variety of situations ranging from concerts, over dinner, by a campfire, macro photos of bugs, and in the dead of night. All situations resulted in outstanding photos. The battery life has been very good. The wide angle is VERY useful. I just returned from 6 days of camping using the camera every day (not constantly) and never needed a charge.

I simply can't think of anything else I would like in such a camera. A great purchase that I could recommend to anyone.

excellent
just a great all around camera. I dont know why anyone would buy anything other than a panasonic. Leica lens, huge lcd screen, its fantastic.

excellent
