Features:
Camera resolution: 10.1 megapixels
Optical zoom: 4x
Screen size: 3"
Max shutter speed: 1/2000Internal memory: 50 MB
Pros: Touch screen, great focusing system, quality zoom lens
Cons: Complicated joystick interface, expensive
The final word: The DMC-FX520 is an advanced camera that takes rich, clear photos and has the additional option of manual focusing using the touch screen. It's pricey, but you do get plenty of advanced features.
THE Panasonic DMC-FX520 is a 10.1 megapixel camera with 5x optical zoom and the added functionality of a three inch touch screen.
It's a heavy but compact camera, especially considering the wide range of features and shooting modes that are offered. However, it's relatively user-friendly and the touch screen is a fun feature that's both useful and easy to use.
The rear of the camera houses most of the controls, which are quite small and might be difficult to use for those with lar
ger hands. The on/off switch is one of the main offenders – while it moves solidly, it's hard to push without using a fingernail.
Instead of using an arrow pad like most compact digital cameras, the DMC-FX520 uses a four-way joystick. This is located in the lower right corner of the camera body, which means it's quite easy to reach while holding the camera normally. Still, it's fiddly and complicated to use, again requiring the tip of a fingernail to operate. We also found it was easy to press the button by accident, causing it to enter the advanced options menu.
