great camera

May 7, 2006

Rating: 9 out of 10 (Spectacular)
Pros: zoom starting from 28 mm, anti-shake stabilized optics
Cons: noise at higher ISOs
Opinion:
I've used 3xzoom ultra compact cameras since they came out (Minolta X). The FX01 offers the following advantages:
- 28 mm as widest focal length
- very good optics for such small camera (barrel distortion is expected at such small zooms)
- optical image stabilization, which is quite effective
- very compact but very good design, which intuitively prevents the user from blocking the lens or the flash with fingers (which remains a challenge for cameras with non-protruding lens).
Of course there are sacrifices to make in picture quality (noise and distortion) to arrive at such small dimensions - but the point is that larger cameras have a very high chance of being left at home in order to avoid the hazzle of carrying them along.
To me the FX01 is state-of-the-art, i.e. it is as good as it gets, nowadays.
Highly recommended.
