ProductCritic: Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX8 Reviews

Good Gear Guide (90)

A wonderful camera that looks good, feels good and takes great shots. Highly recommended.

Digital Photography Interface (88)

Photo quality was great except some softness at times and red-eye. Noise levels were lower than on the FX9. The movie mode is excellent though it should feature some sort of “zoom while recording” function, and the microphone more strategically placed.

CNET Asia (82)

The FX8 does not appear to be a major upgrade from the FX7. However, it offers a much-awaited battery life improvement, among other user-friendly features.

T3 (60)

Overall, this is a solid camera that’s let down by its porky size and a weak zoom. But providing you can get past those hurdles, this is worth a look – just don’t hold it next to the supermodel-slim Sony T7 or it’ll get depressed.
