Panasonic Lumix DMC-FS42 review

[aradilon]

Alot of good has to be said about this camera, in
Belgium this is easly the best camera under €100, i give
u some reasons why to buy this instead of another
camera of the same pricerange.
-Lens 4x zoom 33-132mm vs 3x zoom 35-105mm this
doesn't sound much but its alot wider and alot further
than it looks.
-Widescreen video 848x480 video vs 640x480, easly
said this means is that u can view it on a widescreen
without having black borders.
-Battery; it's an accu that u get with it and i got some
pretty good results with it, 300+ photo's without
charging.
-iso and sharpness is good, good enough for this price
u get good photo's untill iso 400, iso 800 is ok.

Problems:

What i miss

-No manual controls, ok i have my Nikon D90 for that
but my old compact had manual controls and it can
come in handy.(but for most people that would buy
this
camera this isn't a problem)
-no Image stabilisation though i didn't miss it yet
because iso is alot better than most camera's this
pricerange
-No AA-batteries but because u get so much shots
from the accu this isn't really a problem only if u would
take it on a trip where u can't get electricity every 2-3
days
