This is not a review of the functionality of the camera itself, as I didn’t even turn it on. When I opened the box I quickly realized that it’s on the pink side and not a deep red as the photo appears. If you are a man looking for a red camera, steer clear from this one, it’s for the ladies.

“A leading consumer magazine” rated this camera quite highly recently. I’m not sure why.
Pictures in low light are grainy. Ones in bright light aren’t very sharp. Shutter response is decently fast.
It is small and inexpensive, so there’s that. My wife will carry it with her and get pictures that she would have otherwise missed, so that’s a good thing. If these things aren’t the primary characteristics you’re looking for in a point-and-shoot camera, then I’d keep looking.

I had a Konica Minolta Dimage X60 for the longest time and wanted a replacement now, my old camera was 5 years old and became slower and slower.
I tried 3 other cameras (Samsung, Nikon and Olympus) but had to send them back…. but the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FP1 (I didn’t want the FP-3, I don’t like touchscreens) is beyond my expectations.
The battery life is outstanding, I love that you don’t have the lens coming out while zooming (was used to the inside lens from the Konica), the colors are really natural, the screen is crystal clear, the operation is so easy, the camera is very light and compact…. what else can I say
I’m finally satisfied!!!!
Oh there is one small con…. the camera takes HD videos (my old camera only took VGA) but you have to zoom in or focus before you start recording… after you hit the recording button you can’t zoom in anymore. However the quality of the video is awesome!!
4 stars from me… I’m really happy… if I could zoom in while taking a video I would give the camera 5 stars. However I did some research and not many cameras can zoom in while taking HD videos, so all good
Battery life and picture quality is what matters most to me!!!
