small and nifty,
I bought this camera for a vacation trip and found it very handy–fits in my pocket and starts by sliding the cover south. The pictures were very good on the whole. I ran into trouble by shooting into the light and I don’t know if there’s an override for the flash but so far haven’t discovered that. The quality of the long shots is very good, less so for the closeups but still good. My larger Lumix takes better pictures and has more control, but for the convenience of this small camera it did its job. I would recommend this for anyone who is not a professional photographer.

|Awesome camera for most people.,
Ok first of all, this is not my primary camera, I have a DSLR and this one is just for parties and random events where a DSLR is just too big to carry around. That said, read this review keeping in mind it is not a top tier camera, it’s a $150 point and shoot.
Packaging: Even though the box wasn’t sealed, the camera arrived perfectly new and with all accessories. I still think the box is a little small.
Design: Everything in the front is neatly designed. Looks good, feels good. The back looks plain with the screen off, and I would’ve centered it a little and make a cross with the buttons. The camera powers on by sliding the lens cover. It is a really compact, nice looking camera. Mayor flaw in design is the “iA button” next to the shutter button, which will be accidentally pressed by almost anyone you lend the camera to.
Screen: Crispy, bright screen, big enough to see the pictures and with very good definition. Touch functions work like a charm, but I would’ve invested a little more in the interface. It is very responsive and the camera comes with a function to focus where you touch, which I’ve found infinitely useful.
Lens: Pretty good pictures so far. Lacks a function for changing focus in video, but nothing a $200 or less camera has anyway. Well protected most of the time, although I’ve found the cover to be sometimes too easy to open. Shutter speed is pretty good. Optical zoom is 4x, although the design they used for the CCD actually moves it to get a kind of 8.4x optical zoom. Macros look great.
Pictures: You will definitely get awesome pictures with this camera, as long as you are comfortable with point and shoot cameras and not advanced photography gear. The yellows and oranges appear incredible, and the color accuracy is outstanding. If you are not a photographer you’ll be more than happy with this camera.
Battery: I would say it lasts for about 250 pictures with occasional use of the preview function. Charges fast.
Video: It is a really good thing to have hd (1280×720) video recording. Drawback being the focal point stays at the same spot (no zoom in or zoom out function)
Overall: I would definitely recommend this camera to anyone looking in this price tier. If you can go an extra 50 bucks, get a Canon SD (I have a 780 I bought a year ago and my sister has a 940, both are awesome powerful and stylish cameras).

|The Lumix DMC-FP3 is Great at What it Does,
I bought this camera because my Sony Cybershot did not perform too well in dark places (night clubs, bowling, at night etc). The Lumix is has a fantastic low light mode that takes incredible pictures. The other great features include a large and bright touch screen, great zoom, clean 14.1 MP photos, and easy to navigate menus. All this in a stylish compact design. If you are looking for a compact camera, you cannot go wrong with the Lumix DMC-FP3.
