About Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX60

The Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX60 (also known as the DMC-FX65) is a small and light point-and-shoot camera aimed at the casual user. At first glance the FX60 is rather unassuming, with a 2.7 inch LCD screen and understated styling, but there are a couple of stand-out features. The 5x zoom lens is the main one, an unusually versatile focal range on such a small camera, but even more so when you find out that the Panasonic FX60 offers a wide-angle setting of 25mm. The second is the ability to shoot high-definition 1280 x 720p video at 30fps, a feature retained from the previous FX40 model but still something of a rarity in this class of camera. Other improvements from the FX40 are more subtle - a faster auto-focus system, larger 2.7 inch LCD screen, upgraded Optical Image Stabilizer and longer battery life. The new Panasonic DMC-FX60 is available in black, purple, blue or silver and has an official list price of £249 / $349.

Outwardly, the solid feel, pocket sized Lumix DMC-FX60 point and shoot from Panasonic appears identical to the FX40 model that preceded it, with no-nonsense boxy design, slim 19.4mm depth and metallic silver finish to our review sample. Black, violet or blue are the other outer shell colours for fashion conscious consumers.

Weighing 146g without battery or card inserted yet still feeling sturdy when gripped in the palm, feature wise it includes the same ultra wide, Leica branded 25mm lens as found on the recently reviewed Lumix FP8, likewise newly supported by Power OIS (Optical Image Stabilisation) claimed by its manufacturer to be twice as effective as the 'Mega OIS' it replaces.
