Best for: snap shooter, budget buyer, trendsetter

I want to take photos that I can e-mail to friends and family, post on the Web, or print in sizes smaller. I'd like a digital camera that is easy enough for the whole family to use and small enough to take anywhere. I'll be printing on an inexpensive, all-purpose ink jet printer.

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX500
Introduction:
This camera was launched in March 2008; it is available in Silver and Black colors.Its includes many technologies beyond those needed to take a good snapshot such as shutter and aperture priority modes and controls for color effects and adjusting sharpness, color, and noise reduction. It also has a hybrid interface using both a 3-inch touch screen LCD and a traditional directional joystick and buttons. It does have abundant "auto" shooting abilities, too, though the FX500 is best suited for people wanting more control and the ability to experiment with their photos. Overall, it's a very good advanced point-and-shoot, but not without a couple shortcomings.
Features:
1. The Good:
Excellent design; advanced shooting options; good use of touch-screen interface; 25mm wide-angle lens; 720p movie capture.
2. The Bad:
Noticeable shutter lag; controls take some getting used to; no optical zoom in Movie mode.
3. The Bottom Line:
The Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX500 is a very good ultra compact camera with a lot of shooting flexibility. It's just its slow performance that's keeping it from achieving excellence.
