Digital photography moves fast - there’s a constantly flowing stream of compacts and next-gen models revealed to the market every single month. Which makes it all the more baffling when you’re hunting down the right compact camera for your summer holiday snaps. Not to forget the credit crunch either; there’s not a huge amount of cash lining many peoples’ pockets…
Enter the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX35. Replacing yesteryear’s FX33 model and now boasting 10.1 megapixels, a 4x optical zoom 25mm wide angle lens and a positive injection of improved usability - is this the ideal holiday compact? The major clincher is the ultra wide-angle 25-100mm f2.8-5.6 Leica lens. Many people look to shoot landscapes and interiors at the wider end of the scale, rather than at long zoom ranges - and by not overlooking this fact, the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX35 has a unique offering that puts it at the top of its game. In fact, even many top-end compacts fail to rival such a wide angle. In true Leica fashion, the lens quality is pretty top notch too.
