Panasonic DMC-FP3 Digital Camera Features
Futuristic, Flat Body Design
The flat body and compact size of the DMC-FP3 allow it to fit nicely into a small handbag. Built of high-quality aluminum, the DMC-FP3 also brings a wide range of colors to the series. Choose from 4 colors (Silver, Black, Red, Blue).The new lens cover both protects the lens from scratches or dusts and serves as the camera’s power switch, making it fast and easy to slip the camera out of a pocket or a bag and turn on the power. The delicate hairline finish on the lens cover of the DMC-FP3 elegantly accents the design. You’ll want to take this sleek, stylish camera with you everywhere you go, like a fashion accessory.
Touch Screen Operation
The newly adopted static sensor type 3.0-inch touch-screen LCD on the DMC-FP3 gives you an easy, intuitive control thanks to a hybrid operation combined with the 4 major operation buttons. Touch operation is free and smooth either in recording or playing back images.
Sonic Speed AF
The Sonic Speed AF system in the DMC-FP3 has a maximum speed of approx. 0.33 second for auto focusing*. It includes numerous re-engineering enhancements, including a higher-speed actuator, optimized algorithms and parallel software processing. The result is fast and accurate AF performance. You can quickly get moving subjects in focus, such as when you’re shooting sports scenes. * Using the 1-area AF, at the wide-end.

I bought this camera after getting frustrated with a recent purchase I made of another digital camera. Its pictures were almost always fuzzy and out of focus. It was difficult to figure out how to navigate the menu and the response time was very slow. After spending several days looking, I saw a TV advertisement for the Lumix. I checked with my son (who has to approve all things electronic or digital)who thought it was a great product.Since buying the camera I have taken pictures in high and low light, indoors and out. I have photographed landscapes, group photos, wildlife, and others. The menu is easy to understand and navigate and the picture quality is good. I am very happy with my purchase.

Overall, a great camera. Picture quality is much much better than past Nikon S230 & an underwater olympus point & shoot. This is what was most important to me.I will say that the touchscreen features are good but not great. Also the camera is a little thicker than anticipated. Finally I noticed w/ the video function that I’m unable to zoom in & out, it just stays @ one focal point! Unless there’s another way, this is a HUGE negative!
But again, overall, I’m quite happy with it. It’s become my primary camera.

This is a fantastic little camera. The pictures are absolutely crystal clear. It is quick to use, just slide the cover open and shoot, the battery lasts for a long time and charges fairly quickly. If you are looking for a great pocket camera, this is it. besure to get a memory card for it as the internal memory doesn’t hold much, but cards are cheap. -

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. -

Bought it as an addition to my much bigger Sony camera. This Lumix is small but full of features. Ready to shoot in an instant, just slide down the lens protecting door and push the shutter button. Auto setting takes great pictures every time. Takes great movies too, but the zoom does not work in movie mode – small inconvenience. Very intuitive functions, easy to learn. Love it, it’s always in my pocket!
