How to select the right Panasonic point-and-shoot



The FP series



The FP series is one of the latest lineups to join the Lumix family targeted at the young and trendy. By employing a periscopic-like lens system, Panasonic has managed to keep the shooter slim without sacrificing on features. The company has dubbed this line of shooters "advanced stylish", indicating that good-looking snappers can deliver on performance, too.

In this series


Lumix DMC-FP8
At first glance, you may mistake the 12-megapixel FP8 for the rugged FT1. Besides looks, the specifications for both shooters are pretty similar, with a 28mm wide-angle lens and 4.6x optical zoom. While the slim facade and multitude of body color options are attractive, the lack of a lens cover can be a deal-breaker for some users since it expose the optics to potential hazards.

From a pretty long Nikon user, I switched to FX-33 wth the iA more than a year ago and absolutely no regrets. Very good for amateur photographers with no so steady hands =)

I didn't know there were external flashes available for the FZ series (I have the FZ18). I thought that was the realm of Canon compacts.

You also mis-labeled the FZ series as "LX Series"
