The two
Panasonics be different first and foremost in their utmost decree and
their LCD size: The DMC-FX100 records imagery at a enormous 12.2
Megapixels against the DMC-FX55's 8.1 Megapixels. On the additional
hand, the DMC-FX55 has a enormous 3-in. LCD versus a 2.5-in. monitor on
the DMC-FX100. Neither camera include an eye-level viewfinder.
Purchase Camera By:
Further than so as to, the two cameras have a great deal in ordinary.
You obtain a smooth, exact 3.6x zoom lens that start at the 35mm equal
of a 28mm wide-angle lens, charitable you considerably more reporting
than the 35mm wide-angle lens that the majority small digital cameras
offer. Gratitude to a big shutter button and well-placed zoom manage,
shooting photos is easy and at ease. One exclusive quality of the
DMC-FX100 is its E.Zoom button, which quickly shifts the zoom from one
end of the central distance end to end variety to the other.
Contact controls on the DMC-FX100 are quite complete and generally well
prearranged. The normal mode dial shift the camera from motionless
gunfire to movies, to particular scene modes or to photograph playback.
Unluckily, the dial's minute icons can be firm to see, and two-thirds of
the call is hidden under the top rim of the camera at any known time.
But as you turn the call, a virtual account pops up briefly on top of
the LCD.
Photo setting are alienated between the purpose button and the bill of
fare button. The previous opens a one-screen list anywhere you can put
optical picture stabilization, burst mode, metering form, white
equilibrium, ISO compassion and image decree. Though it's a high-quality
selection, it should have built-in the camera's routine focus options
and image adjustment sharpness, diffusion and contrast -- as well.
While the DMC-FX55 provides a direction control for navigate menus, the
DMC-FX100 takes the old-school come up to of combine four cursor buttons
and a middle Menu/Set button. This agreement works a bit more gradually
than a direction control, but its motionless effective. The pinnacle
button let you rapidly set exposure recompense; and if you push it
twice, you can fast set automatic contact bracketing -- especially
helpful if you're shooting in hard light. The camera lack manual center
and higher controls such as aperture- and shutter-priority or full
physical contact.
Although
the DMC-FX100 has a senior pixel count than its sibling, the image
excellence of its movies was concerning the similar in our lab tests.
Color correctness and contact correctness were concerning average for
lately tested point-and-shoots -- high-quality, but not outstanding.
other than in image unevenness, the DMC-FX100 earn the second-highest
score in the middle of recently review compact cameras.
