 The 10.1-megapixel Lumix DMC-FX520 is Panasonic's first digital camera with a 3-inch touch-screen LCD and a very compact camera for its advanced range of functions. While the touch screen may excite some buyers, photographers are more likely to be attracted by the P, A, S and M shooting modes and the wide-angle Leica DC lens, which supports 5x optical zoom and covers a focal length range of 25mm to 125mm (35mm equivalent).
Solidly built with a smart, brushed metal case that comes in black or gunmetal grey, the FX520 has a retracting lens. A stainless steel finger bar is located on the front panel, with a dimpled thumb pad on the rear. The slim built-in flash tube is slightly off-centre and not directly over the lens to reduce the risk of red eyes in flash shots. The battery and memory card compartment is in the base of the camera, while a metal-lined tripod socket is located at the opposite end of the base plate (not the ideal position).
