The Panasonic FH27 provides fast, reliable performance in a quite dense and compact package. The touch screen is something easy to use, if caused us trouble in image control.

The Panasonic Lumix DMC-FH27 (also known as the FS37) is “Stylish casual” Panasonic’s top-of-the-line compact point-and-shoot digital camera. Small Panasonic cameras are not known for their sense of style, but Panasonic tries, which with some of the recent publications (the “FP” and the “S” series) change. During the FH27 not what would consider most particularly stylish is, is not necessarily a bad thing, because not everyone wants a camera, which is a fashion statement. I found the camera attractive, but it.

With its reputation for good handling, fast operation and good image quality, have popular Panasonic and point-and-shoot cameras. You are also very full featured for their price points, and the FH27 is no exception with its 16.1 megapixel 8 x optical sensor, wide-angle zoom Leica lens (28-224 mm, 35 mm equivalent), intelligent Auto mode, Panasonic’s latest Venus IV processor, optical image stabilization, HD video (720 p), and his big 3-inch diameter with touch screen LCD.

The FH27 has a lithium ion battery, a charger, a plastic pen, basic instruction manual, a hand strap, an AV cable, a USB cable and a CD with the manual and Panasonic’s page not found organize Studio 6.0 photo software. The camera takes SD, SDHC or SDXC memory cards, which must be purchased separately. The FH27 comes in silver, red and black, the color of the camera I checked. The proposed price is $229.99, but it should be for much less available.

After he some time familiar touch screen, wanted me with the camera I necessarily to go and take some pictures. But the weather was rainy through most of the first two weeks of March, so I was not in the position that take number of colorful outdoor images, I usually do when I have a camera to write a review. Since this restriction, see time, such as the FH27 was.
