Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX36

All along is a supporter of Panasonic Lumix cameras. From my very first digital camera, FZ10, which was bought in 2004, until DMC-LX1 in 2005, L1 in 2007 and now FX36 in 2008, can tell how stubborn I am in terms of camera brand ;-)

Today, I would like to share with you my new camera FX36 here. Panny, dun get offended here ok, this is not a camera review kind of post (I'm not so professional la), just wanna share some experiences after using this camera.

Before i decided to buy this camera, i was comparing 3 models, FX520, TZ15 and FX36. FX520 got touch screen plus 5x optical zoom, TZ15 is 10x optical zoom, but both also out of my budget. So, no choice, after received the eQuote from Cathay Photo, straight away went to the shop and got it.

OK, so here is my new camera, Panny Lumix DMC-FX36, 25mm wide angle lens, 4x optical zoom, 10 megapixels, HD-quality video recording, came with 4GB SD card plus a case.

My Converse, some test shot using different ISO setting, i think most of the people will concern about Panny's performance in higher ISO, bcoz of the noise that generated.

ISO 100 (100% crop)

ISO 200 (100% crop, noise start visible)

ISO 400 (100% crop, a bit grainy)

ISO 800 (100% crop, noise !)

ISO 1600 (100% crop, hmm, as usual, the problem still there)

A few testing shot in different mode, such as:

Outdoor

macro

iA (intelligent Auto) mode

Normal mode

Low light, iA mode

So far, still satisfy with the results and image quality produced by this compact camera, and it's quite value for money. Will I recommend this camera to frens? Definitely! Dun forget, I'm a fan of Panny, and I'm very stubborn, hahaha!!!
