Panasonic Dmc Fx35 Digital Camera Review
The Panasonic DMC FX35 is a 10 megapixel digital camera with a 4x optical zoom lens. The lens has the widest angle I have tested.
Why Buy the Panasonic DMC FX35?
The wide angle lens will come in handy if you wish to squeeze more width into a photo. For example this could be for a landscape photos or for a group of people. This Panasonic digital camera is also easy to use, small enough to fit into a pocket and looks good too. Picture quality is certainly above average.
Image Quality Panasonic DMC FX35 test shots
Outdoor 1 (Medium Zoom)
We start off with a pleasant, colourful photo. I like the blues of the sky and the darker greens of the trees. There is a small loss of detail as the sun strikes the boats.
Outdoor 2 (No Zoom)
Because of the wide angle lens this was the big interest shot for me. I can see the impact of the lens as soon as I look at the picture. With a normal lens the bungalow on the left hand side does not always manage to creep into the picture. Here the entire building comes into view. Taking into account the wide angle lens focusing is good. There is a loss of light in the corners of the photo.
Outdoor 3 (Maximum Zoom)
Once again the DMC FX35 produces a decent effort. Sharpness is good and the colour balance works well too.
Outdoor 4 (Building)
This is my key shot for checking focusing. This Panasonic digital camera handles the test well, especially when you consider this shot was with the zoom lens more or less fully extended. It compares well with shots taken with other cameras.
Outdoor Portrait
Using the white balance setting of shady adds plenty of colour to the shot. I like this shot. It has a warm feel to in and the camera focuses well.
Indoor Portrait with Flash
The DMC FX35 manages to include plenty of detail in the shot. Perhaps a little extra light to get into the darker areas of the shot, such as the hair would have made it even better.
Indoor Portrait without Flash
This is a decent effort. If I was being picky I would say I would also like a touch more brightness in the shot too.
Colours
Panasonic cameras produce strong colours. There is plenty of evidence of this in the second outdoor shot. If you like strong colours then you will like the colours this camera produces.
Macro
I am very happy with the macro shot. The DMC FX35 manages to bring out plenty of detail and the picture is sharply focused.
ISO 400 and ISO 1600
This test produces a result in line with most other digital cameras. At ISO 400 noise is evident in the photo, but to an acceptable level. Any higher and picture quality really suffers. To get the best possible results I would suggest selecting the Intelligent ISO setting for taking photos in poor light when flash cannot be used or when trying to freeze action.
Overall
The DMC FX35 passes most of my tests. I have no real issues with picture quality and it out performs most of its rivals.
Shutter Lag
With the flash unit off my times were 0.37 seconds for a single shot and 12.76 seconds for five. With flash on the times were similar. These were 0.42 seconds for a single shot and 13.08 seconds for five. Without flash the times are roughly average. With flash on the times are fast when compared to other, similar cameras.
You can compare this camera to other models by taking a look at the Shutter Lag Comparison Table.
Style: This is a stylish, small compact digital camera. It has a very clean design and is available in black, blue and silver.
Dimensions: 94.7 x 51.9 x 22mm
Weight: 125g
Batteries: Lithium ion. Panasonic supplies both a battery and a charger with the DMC FX35 as standard.
Memory cards: The built in memory is a generous 50mb. This is enough for around 13 photos. The camera is also compatible with SD and SDHC cards.
Ease of use rating: Very Good. Like all Panasonic digital cameras the DMC FX35 is pretty straightforward. The menu system is clear and easy to read.
Points I like:
Ease of use – wide screen movies – high angle LCD screen – design – picture quality
Where it could improve:
A touch more brightness for my indoor tests
Alternatives
Other good quality pocket cameras include the Canon IXUS 80 IS and Canon IXUS 85 IS.
Verdict:
If I was looking for a pocket sized camera I would certainly consider the Panasonic DMC FX35. When it comes to picture quality it is a good all rounder and the wide angle lens is a big advantage for landscapes and groups of people.

Use Digital Camera in Cold Weather
If winter comes, the northern most cities have entered the sub-zero temperatures, several of the Northeast is to force the snow. Compared to the hot summer, I like winter. Winter Christmas, Chinese New Year, Valentine’s Day ….These people happy day. But for photographer or photography enthusiast in winter, it can be no good. In addition to frozen hands and nose outside DC, the outdoor theme of the film and camera’s own use are restricted.
In fact, in cold weather, outdoor shot a large number of good photo opportunity, whether you are would like to go ice fishing, wearing snow shoes, winter hiking or just walking the scenic places, you just used the right way, to reach the the right place, we can have a great time. However, the camera in cold weather to pay special attention to the protection, static electricity, moisture, temperature and other conditions in winter are prone to damage the camera’s murderers. Took years, combined with some cold weather experience in the use of digital cameras, to solve these problems one by one.
Worst enemy: low temperature
Low temperature conditions, dramatically shorten CANON NB-2L Battery life, even a very durable SLR cameras usually can not be spared. For digital cameras, the loss of energy Han can not do. Now, from a technical point of view there is no good way to solve this problem, we can only use some “dishonest” to retain the power to be frozen.
First of all, even in the outdoors, and let the camera and flash (and their batteries) as possible to keep warm. To do this, when you go outdoors, carry them close, for example, on your jacket below. So that they can share your body temperature, except in very quickly when you actually take pictures with it. (In addition to the use of such methods to protect your camera and its insulation, but also because of the lens gear performance lubricants freeze and reduce the possibility of focus.)
The second approach is that the battery power when you expect to happen in the cold when the situation is lost, bring spare batteries, and can also be personal guarantee to carry spare batteries. For example, on the shirt pocket, so the battery can benefit your body temperature. Thus, if your camera (or flash) starting dead batteries, you can warm a new battery inserted. (Currently the price for a spare battery at 300 yuan, a third-party batteries cheaper)
In addition, the skilled use of your camera, do not blindly shoot a waste of electricity. Before shooting in order to better cinema, generally show the composition and theme. If you really thought about what is good to shoot, or do not go out on a cold day of the Xia Zhuan as well.
Easily overlooked details: static
Clothing worn by the dry winter and the reasons are subject to static electricity. Although there is no harm to our bodies, but for CANON NB-5L Battery digital cameras can not be ignored. In general, LCD screens and memory cards are the most vulnerable part against static electricity. Static electricity can breakdown LCD screen is especially true for the memory card, SD card and thin no protective measures, the probability of damage is relatively large.
However, the solution is very simple, just touch the outside of the metal objects, such as iron railings, scaffolding and the like. Just take the body of the static conductivity. In addition, the SLR has a body of rubber or leather grip handle, you can prevent static electricity damage to the camera.
Drew attention to: the temperature difference causes condensation
It should draw attention to: When the time back to the room from the outside, condensation will be the biggest enemy, and even more terrible than the low-temperature and static. Warm indoor air moisture will condense inside the lens and camera sensor surface. Completely cover the lens will be moisture, the camera sensor and mechanical and electronic components so be it. Without special attention, water stains and mold will like wanton destruction of your lens. How to avoid moisture remain in the lens or the camera it?
First, let your camera slowly warming. The camera on the cool windowsill or balcony heating, put a few hours, so that its temperature can rise to room temperature slowly. As condensation of electronic components inside the camera caused damage, so try to avoid alternating indoor and outdoor situations. In addition the camera can be cold wrapped in plastic bags. Moisture will stay outside in plastic bags rather than stopping the camera body or the internal components of the surface. This approach can be used to protect those delicate electronic components. But note that when the plastic bags would need to put the camera in the outdoors, rather than take you into the room after the camera.
Use these simple precautions and Dell inspiron 1520 Battery camera guide, you can take out in the cold outside a good photo. Cold weather brings unexpected photo opportunities, because this time the air is clear and can see the wonderful scenery. So when the temperature drops as if sitting at the Arctic Circle, do not be afraid of.
