Panasonic Lumix DMC-FS5 Review

Mark Goldstein | Digital Compact Cameras | March 3, 2008 | 4 Comments

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FS5TrustedReviews have tested the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FS5 are the first models in a new range of stylish, easy to use cameras. Both the FS20 and FS5 offer a 4x, 30-120mm lens and 10.1 megapixel, 1/2.33-inch sensor.

“Images are pretty good for a Panasonic, usually notable for their high noise levels - especially on higher resolution models. Lower ISOs are fine, and even ISO 800 is relatively clan. By ISO 1600 though the noise reduction system turns the images a little mushy. They’re usable but detail gets lost as the NR attempts to hide any image grain.”

I have just bought a DMC-FS5 and am very pleased with it but I cannot understand why there are two scene modes (scn1 & scn 2) which appear to be exactly the same - can anyone explain why??

Bob, the idea is that you can set Scn1 to one scene mode, and Scn2 to another, then be able to quickly access both.
