Review (Summary): "At first glance, you may take a look at the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX35 ($350) and say, "oh good, another ultra-compact camera". And, in many respects, that's just what it is. What sets the FX35 apart from almost everything else is its super wide-angle lens, which starts at just 25 mm. Panasonic wisely made this a 4X zoom, giving you a top end of 100 mm (instead of 75 mm, had it been 3X). ...
... Panasonic's Lumix DMC-FX35 breaks new ground in ultra-compact cameras. Offering a 25 - 100 mm lens, the FX35 offers the second widest lens you'll find in this class, with only the Samsung NV24 HD ahead of it. Add optical image stabilization, a really nice 2.5" LCD display, and a 720p movie mode into the mix, and the FX35 becomes a very desirable camera for fans of wide-angle shooting. ..."
