The DMC-FX60 (known as the FX65 in the US) is the latest addition to Panasonic's extensive range of small and stylish compact cameras. Successor to the FX40 / FX48 model, the 12 megapixel Panasonic FX60 / FX65 features a faster auto-focus, larger LCD screen, longer battery life and improved anti-shake system. Read our Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX60 review to find out if this is the right camera for you.

It's a good camera that can take some beautiful pictures, but for the price and the lack of extra features, the FX65 doesn't live up to our expectations of value — and its video quality is terrible.

If it evolves much more it’ll develop rudimentary tool use

It is a little on the expensive side for the range of controls on offer, but overall it is a competent little camera

A beautiful camera with some smart useful features, hampered by a sensor that packs too many pixels into such a small space.
