Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZX1 Review

The DMC-ZX1 contains 8x optical zoom in the thin body. Panasonic has succeeded in a whopper of a lens in such a case, the plate thanks to a newly developed lens; make the world-first options very thin 0.3 aspheric lens.

The 8 times zoom offers a Super Zoom focal length equivalent to 25-200mm in the world (in 35 mm film SLR or digital SLR full picture) so that the DMC-ZX1 is ready to meet the huge landscape scale, then with a fast zoom, you can focus on key points of interest in selected scenes. You can also use this super-wide-to-telephoto for taking portraits of the group of friends or family, and then quickly zoom to any portraits, too.

It is an optical zoom, thus, not Naff zoom digital cameras have a zoom is not all pretend, just a cheap digital zoom and picture quality ruin the effect.

You’ll find a large 2.7-inch in the rear of the DMC-ZX1 LCD clear pictures, and a gesture recording / playback switch, you can only view your photos on the same screen are significant, zoom in to check sharpness.

Other highlights will explore further in this review, the DMC-ZX1 improved technology Face Detection – which can be implemented note , treats, and ask that person for shooting, so that their faces clear and focused on the debate.

There are also five provide iA (Intelligent Auto) shooting modes that will help improve your photos the easy way. More Intelligent ISO Control, which aims to reduce traffic confusion by adjusting the ISO sensitivity if the subject is moving.

As we have come to expect from the latest and best is compressed, the DMC-ZX1 with new technologies and improved image stabilization (POWER began Optical Image Stabilizer), so your chances are much higher for sharp images. Plus there are the ubiquitous scene modes – the em 29 ‘, including methods such as candles, sunsets, fireworks, and, uh, Underwater! With nearly 220 online prices, the DMC-ZX1 is still possible for a kind of film, the HD 1280 x 720p, 30fps, can record video in full screen HDTVs eyes. But all this HELLO-techery not means Jack, if this new compact Panasonic plain decency not to take pictures.

Once you have colored stickers to remove the chest plate, the DMC-ZX1 makes a series of small and personal style, and no mistake. It is designed with elegant clean lines of silver-tightening, easy way, and it fits comfortably in the hand (s). But, like the DMC-lever ZX1 model is so thin, the two buttons at the top – the shutter button and dial and zoom function – is really very small. Two keys provided by five pence piece shade.

It’s the same thing back. Since the LCD occupies most of the back, there is only room for a few, uh, tiny keys: including the four cursor keys, switch the / play on the left, and the screen, Q. E. Menu and zoom buttons.

The DMC-ZX1 boot time is impressive – 1.1 seconds, and Panasonic. One thing I found is the DMC-ZX1 is the lens before, until you turn the camera or other outside force kicks before, the goal remains outside, which means that you cannot slip in his pocket. But as the departure time from Power Save Fast (just press the shutter), it was not a problem, and we wake up to use the DMC-ZX1 and rapid photo-OPS.

The DMC-ZX1 is equipped with a more useful image stabilizer (IS). Panasonic call in OIS (optical image stabilizer). It is everything you need to know is that this very intelligent integrated technology to help you get sharp images in difficult lighting conditions.

With OIS Panasonic POWER your chances are much sharper images than the use of tablets is not built to grow. Or to say whether Panasonic is on their website, OIS force about twice as effective as MEGA OIS to reduce low-frequency vibration blur caused when shooting at slow shutter speed. It’s funny, we thought, MEGA OIS we kicked ass is POWER OIS. Shows how much we know about the result, if there actually is an image stabilizer to combat death.

Not only is the DMC-ZX1 identify faces in your photos, you can more easily and sharp images of people are now remembering person when he shot the same person several times and then tried to make the face of the person is bright and well at center. They can be registered up to six people’s faces. Probing works correctly in our experience, but this was not significantly different, all the time.

We hope that this also meant, when taking pictures in the family aunt and uncle annoying, we somehow do not recognize, not their faces – and possibly replace them with someone in person rather than as Brad and Angelina stretch, unfortunately The DMC-ZX1, this type of camera joke.

However, there is a transformation portrait mode for people with thinner, wider or longer in the device. Then we could do, uncle and aunt take very thick, so we feel particularly vicious. Unfortunately not, the results Transform portrait was very realistic, but it is a fun way stage in use are available to annoy / entertain friends and family.

Burst mode is limited to a reasonable 2.3fps and five images in full operation 12,1 megapixel resolution. But it is a very respectable 10fps in the use of poorer quality increases in 3-megapixel mode. The 10fps speeds corresponding to DSLRs pro-level (such as the Canon EOS-1D Mark III), the way the explosion of operating performance explosion, but do not expect the picture quality even on the other hand drawn.

If you do not realize that all these fps speed is useful when recording moving subjects such as the rapid beating of birds and wildlife hesitate, if you take one bite at the cherry. It is best read in conjunction with the monitoring function AF, which will focus on moving targets. Near-speed transmission can also be useful when photographing sports action or the children who sit even if you refuse to take pictures of them.

The DMC-ZX1 also has video capabilities HD Motion Picture function. With our 4 GB Secure Digital Card, we were able to hold more than eight minutes 1280×720p quality of HD video or 15 minutes VGA (640×480) video.

It is a nice feature, if you want a sample from a birthday party or other family events short files, it is good to have the opportunity, although we can say with honesty that we Motion Picture mode, the DMC-ZX1. If you have video, we prefer not built correctly with a decent camcorder HD.

We are pleased to announce that the results were generally very good. The colors have been recorded, the vast majority of time we are able to capture sharp images (no matter how far you can zoom – which is compressed and the other to lose, can result in image quality) and continue the DMC – ZX1 okay to integrate in mixed lighting conditions with a bright sun and dark shadows were involved in tents. Although based in situation A, the camera is just pictures, although we believe that trying to blink a few times, using a pair of overexposure to the fight.

However, if the ISO was automatically about 500 or 800 ISO (such as using night mode, which does not use flash), the noise level crept up dramatically. In fact, we found that a little above the base of ISO 80 feel the noise – it is also about images ISO 250 or 320 bad spots if you look carefully (we zoom into images Photoshop, for 100 per cent), which means poor quality. It was a little harsh given the DMC may sound ZX1 is registered contract a little more than 200 awards, and pictures in ISO 400 or below should not be very enlightening, so much noise in our book.

Final Words and Conclusion

Small enough to fit in a shirt pocket and light enough to slip unnoticed into a bag; the DMC-ZX1 is the perfect device to take with you a few happy snaps. It is surprising that Panasonic has succeeded in considering the DMC-FIT ZX1 is so small – 97.8×54.6×26.0mm to be exact. It is also worth mentioning, the DMC-ZX1 is also available in blue, red or black, and traditional silver – a color choice for everyone.
