Panasonic FX180 of digital camera reviews
   FX100 Panasonic FX180 is an upgraded version of older, while maintaining 1/1.72 inch CCD pixels unchanged from the 12.2 million will be raised to 14.7 million, but the use of a new generation of Venus processor. Small step from 2.5-inch LCD upgrade to 2.7-inch, in other aspects of the hardware configuration virtually no improvements, such as 3.6 times the Leica lens and so on, so FX180 will inevitably be denounced only adds a 2.5 million pixel camera has become a new generation of . Among the many new Panasonic camera have joined the AF tracking feature, FX180 are no exception.
    Product biggest selling point: 14.7 million pixels 28mm wide-angle
    Product Performance Overview: Excellent overall performance has exceeded 14.7 million pixel image quality performance of
    Market Positioning: home users, photographers
  The new Panasonic FX180 with 14.7 million pixel camera beyond the Sony W130′s 13 million pixels, making it the highest card current pixel DC, or even the vast majority of SLR did not reach this pixel. However, the size of the 1/1.72 inch CCD integration of the body so dense the number of pixels would be a cause of concern.
In other hardware, do not see older models FX180 and compared with the major changes, from the 2.5-inch LCD is just a small upgrade to the 2.7-inch, of course, processor upgrade to the Venus Engine 4. The use of lens and before the FX100 is the same one lens, are 3.6 optical zoom Leica lens with Mega OIS Optical Image Stabilizer. The wide-angle lens to 28mm, though, and some Panasonic models 24mm, 25mm wide-angle less than some, but compared to other brands of those people that mean the 35mm, 36mm terms, FX180′s 28mm certainly has been very impressive. Panasonic FX180 that can shoot high-definition video, this will make the home users rejoice. At the same time Panasonic FX180 workmanship is very good and attractive. However, a single from the configuration, in addition to the escalation of pixels, the Panasonic FX180 is not improved.
    From the appearance point of view, Panasonic FX180 uphold the traditions of the FX series, it is more prudent rectangular design, relatively long and narrow shape, holding it in the palm appeared to be quite easy. While the pixels beyond the Sony W130, but the volume is indeed smaller. 3D for the 96.7 x 54.0 x 24.8 mm, weight 179g. Panasonic FX180 fuselage metal manufacturing, feeling quite good. Overall the workmanship is quite good, zoom lever, rotating tripod hole and so no signs of loosening. The body’s exquisite nameplates, signs of which combined to send the gray version of the commentary makes the Panasonic FX180 looks totally lacking elegance.
   Panasonic FX180 uses a 3.6 optical zoom lens, equivalent to 28mm-100mm and with a Mega OIS optical image stabilization. It is worth mentioning is that the image stabilization is improved, and its offset jitter range is tripled, so the effect would certainly enhance the anti-shake deal with a large jitter should be better. The lens from the six groups composed of seven lenses, including an EA (ultra-high refractive index aspherical) lens and 4 aspherical surfaces with five non-spherical lens, and Leica’s stringent standards in accordance with the design and制造. In 3 megapixels resolution mode, the advanced optical zoom function of the central part of the CCD can be used to further enlarge the screen so that multiple to 7.7 times zoom.
   2.7-inch 230,000 pixel LCD, though not a good configuration, but the LCD display is still good, especially in bright daylight can be easy to watch, this DC where the card is particularly valuable.
  The button layout and Panasonic FX180 Panasonic FX38 another new aircraft a high degree of similarity. Playback buttons are used in the physical switch, in the playback mode, not half-press the shutter into the camera mode, this will make shooting somewhat cumbersome, it is similar with the Canon A series. Pay attention to shutter E. ZOOM button on the right, on behalf of EX optical zoom (EXOPTICAL ZOOM). The first press is automatically zoom to the most remote, and then one will start EX optical zoom mode, will switch to 3 million pixels and get 7.7 optical zoom.
   Looking on the side of the lid you can see three transmission interfaces, respectively DCIN, video output, the data line interface. But the need to adopt to achieve HD output component cable for the election (DMW-HDC2). Panasonic FX18 uses lithium battery-powered, according to CIPA standards on a single charge the camera can shoot up to 330 photos, endurance DC where the card is good. Memory card, use of low-cost SD / SDHC card.
   Panasonic FX180 addition to the high-pixel outside the bright spot is not very outstanding, but worth mentioning is the relatively fresh AF tracking feature, which is also a new generation of Panasonic camera fully loaded. This feature will soon no longer a novelty. This feature is able to lock the selected object, even if the object can move, or move the camera to track focus over. On the two pictures is an object moving footage. For the more prominent objects in the screen FX180 can accurately track, but when the selected objects in the screen are not highlighted, such as clothing, kids running about and other tracking error occurs.
  In high ISO mode, the Panasonic FX180 high light sensitivity up to ISO6400. However, in this mode, the ISO can not be manually set, the camera will automatically adjust. The mode can be set to 300 pixels maximum megapixels. You can click on the map to see where ISO 3200, ISO 6400 results map. Very dark in the light of special circumstances, have some availability.
Sensitivity testing from the above picture point of view, objectively speaking, 14.7 million pixel FX180 did not imagine the difference between evaluation staff. Reviewer thought that such a dense pixel will certainly lead to poor picture quality. But in fact, the level of the DC completely unlike the market generally poor. Emerged this year a number of 10 million pixels, 1/2.3 inch CCD for the FX180 can even be a good DC, quite a lot. Although the screen with a grainy, but the detail and noise control, the relative 14.7 million pixels is already an acceptable form.

Evaluation results
We know that for the lens is due to manufacturing processes and for the production of such factors as the quality of the lens will exist more or less lens distortion, but in general, distortion in the zoom and ultra wide-angle lenses show more severe. Generally wide-angle end of filming, they often cause raised outside edge of the screen, called barrel distortion (also known as drum-shaped distortion); with the telephoto end of shooting, often inward recessed edge of the screen, saying that The pillow-shaped distortion.
This test project is focused on the performance of the image produced by the camera lens variant camera Imatast software designated square grid map, and then use software to lens distortion Imatast quantitative test. Test results indicated in percentage, the more value close to zero, indicating the smaller the distortion. Value is negative, expressed as a barrel distortion; value is positive, expressed as a pincushion distortion. General wide-angle-side accomplishments -2% or less, and belong to the more obvious distortion; telephoto end results in -1% to 1% for, and are not obvious distortion. Here we will list the Canon A470, Olympus FE-320 and Panasonic FX180 to make a comparison.
Canon A470 data is no doubt exciting, but although the telephoto end of the Distortion Control FX180 is slightly narrowly than the A470, but to know that A470 is a 38mm wide-angle area while the FX180 is a 28mm, but the distortion indices derived about the same data, the FX180 is undoubtedly even more amazing. Stringent standards may benefit from Leica, making the lens FX180 doing so well.
   My conclusion: Panasonic FX180 using fourth-generation Venus image processor, not only very good noise reduction in the photo, but also make a reflection of the camera with a faster speed. And, FX180 can also capture resolution of 1280 × 720 pixel high-definition video clips. Panasonic FX180′s shooting performance is very powerful, ultra-high-pixel, 28mm wide-angle, shutter speed of 1-1/2000 sec, can be very easily shoot clear photos you want. At the same time, it 720P support, so that the camera can act as a DV In her spare time role!
