PhotographyBLOG 's conclusion / rating - 21 January 2010 |
“ In conclusion, like so many upgrades, the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX60 is basically an FX40 with a few under-the-bonnet operational tweaks to justify its release - namely speedier AF and improved image stabilisation, not that the uninitiated would notice. So these new 'improvements' aren't for us reason enough to trade in your older model.
However, looked at afresh and working in the FX60's favour are size, ease of use, better (wider) focal range than found on £100 compacts with typically a 3x optical zoom, plus a solid, sturdy feel. Pity there's not much to get a grip on when taking photographs handheld and that buttons are small for the most part, but this is an acceptable trade-off to ensure a form factor not much larger than a credit or business card. Portability is what this camera is all about.
And, since its target market will largely be using the camera for holidays and special occasions - so chiefly as an aid to memory - the image quality is more than adequate despite the occasional softness. OK, so it's not markedly better though than cameras costing £100 less, so you'll have to decide whether a better build quality and nice-to-have features such as HD movies are worth paying a premium for.
For the price you'll be getting a consistent performer that will take decent pictures with the minimum of fuss, and if you're happy with 'snaps' you'll be happy with the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX60... ”

Pocket-lint 's conclusion / rating - 26 November 2009 |
“ The Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX60 is an easy to use point and shoot, demonstrating excellent build quality and giving results that great for the majority of everyday shooting. The HD video capture will please those who like to bring a little quality to their home movies and the battery life will see you through your average wedding.
The FX60 stumbles on noise however, with crammed sensor showing its hand and bringing in noise sooner and many rivals. However, if you most print album shots and share online this won't be much of an issue as you'll be able to make use of most shots anyway.
It is a little on the expensive side for the range of controls on offer, but overall it is a competent little camera... ”

ePhotozine 's conclusion / rating - 28 August 2009 |
“ If you're the kind of person that gets a camera on looks alone then this is definitely one for you. If build quality and handling is a factor in your decision then it's still a strong contender.
Image quality is pretty good, it has some nifty tricks up its sleeve but is let down in other areas. I'm amazed at the huge drop in quality from ISO400 to ISO800 as though noise reduction is simply switched off.
I don't like the picture going blurred at the edge of the lens which we can see in the colour test chart image. I think that could cause problems with landscapes or photographs of groups where items of interest are found at the edges of the frame.
Still, there's a lot going for it in the compact body so it's still worth considering. I think if you're a happy snapper who wants all the points I laid out above, you'd be more than happy with the results of this camera... ”

TrustedReviews 's conclusion / rating - 22 August 2009 |
“ The Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX60 is a good quality camera with a lot of effective and reliable automatic features. Build quality is excellent, performance is good and image quality certainly better than average. However it is very expensive compared other similarly-specified rivals, and the six-year-old body design is starting to look a bit stale... ”
