Summary: Great size, good picture quality, wide-angle but bad shot-to-shot and shutter delays
Comment: This is a really tough review to write. I won't go into too much detail because I really just want to add my own perspective. First off - I love the small form factor. It's pocketable so I can take it anywhere and everywhere. It's got a solid feature set, the wide-angle is fantastic for interior shots and the picture quality with good lighting is great.
Now to the negatives and this is why I only give it three stars: shutter lag is pretty bad. I've played with the settings and no matter what I do I really can't capture what I see on the display unless the subject is still. Shot-to-shot delay with the flash is absolutely horrible. Something on the order of 5 seconds or so.

Summary: Cautiously purchased, but very satisfied.
Comment: Here are the positives and negatives.
Well, no camera is perfect, but this one is overall excellent. The images have depth and clarity, the hd video is truly hd, and the super fast multi-burst option will probably be used more than I had intended. Also the long 30 second exposures for the night time are beautiful (also likely to be used more than expected). One great thing that I discovered, and never read anywhere, is that your settings for one mode do not apply to another. I think this is awesome as you can have 16:9 Hi-def video, then have 3:4 10mp resolution for manual, and say a 7mp saturated, high exposure with 3:5 for automatic! In addition, the lens is great, the camera is small and solid, and lastly, it has an internal 50mb memory as a back up if your sd card gets filled.
Negatives? Well, the 16:9 photo format is 7mp, will not shoot at 10. Also, what I assumed to be a usb mini, is in fact some weird version of a usb mini with a custom size jack, so if you lose your cable, then you must order another from Panasonic - of course using a card reader as I do will solve this problem. Lastly, the brighter the light the better the photos, same with the hi-def video. It only "looks" hi-def with solid lighting, so don't expect great results at your kid's birthday party unless its 12 in the afternoon in the summer. That might be an exaggeration, but it really makes a difference. Most digital cameras are terrible in low lighting anyway, so this isn't a big surprise, but something to be aware of.
My background is in architecture and design, so while I'm not a professional photographer, I make a living by producing quality images. I don't really want a camera that is completely manual, but I need something that can go beyond point and click. This camera will easily accommodate the complete novice, but it also contains the tools to produce more sophisticated imagery if the need was to arise.

Summary: Panasonic Lumix is the best - Period. But make sure you get the wide angle
Comment: I go through about 7 cameras a year in my business practice and I have used them all. I can attest that the Panasonic Lumix brand is the best camera overall out of all the digital point and shoot cameras available. Its even better than the Canon G9 which is actually pricier than this camera. This camera is a work horse, long battery life, great picture quality, extremely durable. I carry this camera in my pocket daily and its never failed, even after the lens accidentally opens in my pocket under pressure and not being able to open fully. The picture quality is the best and easiest to quickly focus. I believe this is due to the Leica lens. For those that do not know about Leica, Leica is considered to be the Rolls-Royce of camera lenses. Ive also bought the Canon Powershots and they dont even come close to this one. Ive also bought the Canon G9 and it doesnt even compare to the this and the G9 is about $200 more. Bottom line, this is what you want.

Editorial Reviews:

With four aspherical lenses and six aspherical surfaces, including an EA (Extra High Refractive Index Aspherical) lens, Panasonic's DMC-FX35 Lumix digital camera features a 25 mm wide-angle Leica DC Vario-Elmarit lens with a 4x optical zoom that's compact enough to fit in a slim, stylish body. This advanced lens system allows you to capture images with a sense of spatial breadth and depth that simply isn't possible with a 35 mm camera.Set the FX35 to iA mode and let the five intelligent auto functions team up to help prevent shooting errors. Intelligent exposure corrects lighting differences, so images come out just the way you see them; intelligent scene selector chooses the mode that best fits the situation; MEGA Optical Image Stabilization (O.I.S.) helps prevent blurring from hand-shake; intelligent ISO control helps prevent motion blur; and face detection helps produce clear portraits by optimizing the focus and exposure settings.Watching a slideshow is a great way to enjoy your photos. This camera will even add background music, giving you a choice of natural, slow, swing or urban.
