I went to Midvalley today and bought the FX3, after finding out that the silver colour of FX10 is not as appealing as the black colour of FX3. In addition, FX3 is at lower price, with RM100 less than FX10. In addition, it also come along with 1Gb Memory, casing, SD card holder casing and shoe bag. All this sound too great to buy a easy use camera. Since FX10 and FX3 are not much different in the specification, I bought the FX3.I checked the review in Imaging Resource website, as quoted as below:
The budget model in Panasonic's stylish and very portable Lumix line, the DMC-FX3 has a basic set of features, but enough added functionality courtesy of Panasonic's exclusive imaging technology to warrant a second look -- especially at its reasonable price point. Being offered for as low as $230 at some online retailers, the Panasonic FX3 is based around a 6 megapixel sensor and Leica-branded 3x optical zoom lens with effective focal lengths of 35mm to 105mm. Exclusive to Panasonic -- though some competing manufacturers offer similar technology -- the FX3 boasts MEGA O.I.S. image stabilization, which helps correct for hand-shake by actually shifting the lens to keep the axis straight against the CCD when you snap a shot. If you've never tried MEGA O.I.S. before, you'll be in for a pleasant surprise --- and you likely won't want to turn it off!
The Panasonic FX3 has a generous 2.5-inch LCD display but with a fairly average resolution of 115,000 pixels and, like a lot of digital cameras these days, no optical viewfinder. For those who like to shoot in low light without a flash, ISO light sensitivity is selectable only between 100 and 400 on the Panasonic FX3. However in its special High Sensitivity scene mode, the camera will automatically boost the ISO up to a maximum of 1,600, which is great for shooting in low light. On the downside, the camera captures images at reduced resolution in this mode to compensate for high sensitivity processing.
Speaking of scene modes, the Panasonic FX3 has 17 of them including the unique "Baby" modes that allow you to program a date of birth in each, and then have your images tagged with your children's current ages at the time the photo is taken. Other nice perks include available shutter speeds from 1/2,000 to 60 which is quite a bit longer than is common on most digicams. The Panasonic FX3 also offers a higher-than-average movie resolution of 848 x 480 pixels, as well as the ability to shoot clips in 16:9 wide angle which is great for playing back on widescreen TVs. So while the Panasonic FX3 might look like a budget model on paper, it's certainly no stripped down, bargain-basement camera.
To me, it is a budget camera, but it suit my need for normal use. This camera, is a gift that I buy for myself for the hard work I have been done so far.
