Two years ago, the time came to upgrade my camera. Our family digital camera was an older model and quite boxy in design. As it didn't do what we wanted it to do, we started to look around for a newer more upgraded model. With a budget of around £150, we happened upon the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FS62. The same camera is still available to buy now for around £115 from selected retailers. **Design** I was looking for something practical yet nice to look at when choosing my camera. The FS62 is available in a variety of colours, but we chose the black model for universal use within the family. Also we thought it looked a little nicer than some of the shade ...  Read the complete review

This is a small lightweight camera made by Panasonic a leading brand in lots of electrical items including digital cameras. It is silver in colour with a easy to view good sized screen display. It has a varying zoom setting to make things further away easier to picture. I have taken lots of pictures with this camera and used nearly all the settings it has including the sports mode which i find really usefull for photographing moving objects. The pictures come out in really good sharp quality all most life like so we have treasured photos to keep forever. It isn't very good when the light is not so good but the flash does help improve this but then the picture ...  Read the complete review

The Panasonic Lumix is an affordable, easy-to-use camera which is perfect for normal, everyday snaps. It doesn't offer the airs and graces of a lot of cameras on the market, but if you're looking for a high quality camera for a holiday, trip, etc., this is the perfect product.

The battery life isn't ...  Read the complete review

It is a very nice 10.1 megapixel camera. Very light only about 130 g. The camera is also small which is good for portablility which doesn't effect the picture quality because it is still very good. This camera is also very well built for the price you paid for it compared to other cameras in that price range, but one con I found about it is that the screen is smaller compared to other cameras. When i bought this camera I did not think it would be this good. I was expecting something that was built with less quality. I also noticed that the Lumix was better then some cameras that my friends have bought for twice the price. This camera shows that not all cheap cameras in ..  Read the complete review

There are many camera's around the £100 mark, but many aren't worth buying, however the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FS62 is, it's a product that doesn't try to do too much, and concentrates on what camera's do best, take pictures. With its 10.1-megapixel sensor and Leica 4x zoom and optical image stabilisation, it gives you a performance you'd expect from a high range product. It's reasonable 2.5 inch display screen does it's job keeping things simple. You would expect a camera of this price to look and feel cheap, but the FS62 doesn't at all, in fact it looks very similar to the £200 DMC-FX60 and therefore looks and feels more expensive then it actually is. It measures at 97 x .  Read the complete review
