What owners like
Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX1 works best when you want small-bag snapshots, flash photos, mirror selfies, and a clean pocket-camera look rather than a technically perfect modern camera; its 1/2.5-inch (5.744 x 4.308 mm) CCD and 35-105 mm equivalent, F2.8-4.9 are the main character of the look.
Common complaints
Check the lens movement, flash, screen, buttons, and card door calmly before relying on it; older compact bodies can need a little patience without being a bad buy.
What to compare
Compare it with Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX5, Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX2, Casio Exilim EX-S20, Casio Exilim EX-Z3 to decide whether you want this exact body, a cheaper nearby compact, or a slightly more capable alternative.
