Panasonic DMC-FH25 Camera Reviews Roundup
| digitalcameraHQ: "The Panasonic FH25 follows in its older sibling's footsteps and even outperforms it in a few ways. It is one of the best point-and-shoot deals on the market, and should please casual shooters who want great-looking pictures, more zoom than the average camera, and in a convenient size that will travel anywhere. The FH25 has a twin sister in the FH27, which shares every spec with the exception of the display: the..." - Aug 11 2011 More » | |
| CNET US: "The FH25's photo quality is good to very good, but people expecting to be wowed by its 16-megapixel resolution may be disappointed. Though subjects look somewhat soft from the get-go, there isn't much difference from ISO 100 to ISO 400. That means shots taken in good lighting are quite nice and thanks to Panasonic's "Intelligent" technology, you can pretty much leave it in auto and get solid results. It is..." - Jul 29 2011 More » | |
| DigitalReview: "The Panasonic Lumix DMC-FH25 is a compact camera that lends itself to family and travel photography. The camera is simple to operate and provides a feature set that is in-line with expectations for this type of camera. Based on our tests with the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FH25, the 8x optical zoom coupled with Panasonic's optical image stabilizer technology delivers decent sharpness and quality throughout the zoom ra..." - Jun 20 2011 More » |

User Review of the camera - Panasonic DMC-FH25
For my type of point and shoot photography this is perfect, Duck3850head
I have only had this camera for about a month. I shot a lot of birds, flowers and people for my family and friends. This is great with my quick moves to get "that" photo. There is no blur. I also use this camera for shooting pictures of my wood turnings for a portfolio and online galleries. The optical zoom is very clear and the photos are crisp. Nice job Panasonic. I really enjoy suing this camera.
Nice Camera, cookiemonster
This camera comes with an 8x wide angle, and takes great pictures. I love it!! Good for family functions and more.
Really good point and shoot., Brian S
I've had this camera for a few months now and really for the price I paid, I'm extremely satisfied with it. The only issue I've encountered is that sometimes I have to fight with it to focus on the appropriate object. Otherwise, no complaints. Photo quality is really good for this type of camera and it's really easy, basic to use. I do not regret the purchase at all and I'm very satisfied with the camera.
Wonderful camera for point & shoot, Heather L. Westerberg
My old Canon camera finally died, so I went searching for a fairly inexpensive camera. I have no need for anything high-end--just a basic point and shoot that will allow us to take basic family photos. The reason I chose this camera over the similarly priced Nikon was that there were complaints about shutter speed on the Nikon. My Canon had the same issue, where it felt like you had to wait for 5 seconds before the camera actually took the picture.
So far, I love this camera. I have it set on the "auto everything" setting as I know nothing about photography, and it takes great pictures. Shutter speed is fast, so I don't have too many cases where by the time the pictures is taken the subject has moved away (ie cat pics). The quality of the photos is amazing--almost too good in some cases as you can even see dust specks.
I highly recommend this for anyone looking for a basic high-quality point and shoot camera.
My little red camera, etssaa ohan
You know when I got this camera I was going to very happy because I lost my first one so here Im
Was really disappointed..., Eliareya
When I first got the camera I was pretty excited and started using it right away, and within I would say 20 - 25 shots the pictures started getting really grainy and there was always some weird looking blue dot on peoples faces and on environmental things. After that, I decided that maybe it was just my eyes and had someone else take pictures and still the same thing. Was really weird.
Another thing was that the pictures were always blurry after the first few shots, as if a palsy diagnosee were using it and I was trying to get images of animals and plants and that just didn't cut. Not at all worth the time or money it took to get it. :(
Fantastic, Martha Duran
Love this camera. I do not have too much patient when it comes to change settings etc., I find this camera very easy to work with, good pictures. Would highly recommend.
Mixed feelings, Camela Miller
I photograph cats for a local animal shelter's website. I've used Canon Powershots for many years and decided to try something different. Reviews said that this Panasonic writes to the card very fast, which was something I needed - and it definitely does. It does pretty well in low light situations and focuses very fast as well. The Intelligent Auto setting works in most situations. I took it to a park and used the zoom on some wildlife and it did a decent job. But it is very uncomfortable to hold, especially in one hand. The metal strip along the side digs into your hand after a couple minutes - so if you use a camera as I do - for many shots, you will need to think about a more comfortable grip. I bought an aftermarket stick on grip by Flipbac and it helps a lot.
Very good quality pictures.., VIcky Adhikari
Very good pictures.. The camera is a good one for beginners. Although i have now misplaced the charger and cant find it :(
camera, Inez P. Nordahl
Love my digital camera and it is much faster response time than the one I replaced. Happy with the picture quality and ease of use.
great point and shoot, Michael Cook
we now have two Lumix cameras, They both take fantastic pics. Much better than our old cannons and fujis. love it
It is OK, Jeri Holder
I got this for my birthday last year and really can't tell that much of a difference than any others. Or maybe I just don't know the "Special" things yet. I have had it 10 months and it does take good pics, but so does my iPhone.
My Fuji camera takes better pics than this one.
this is the best camera!, special ops
I had this camera for almost 2 years. I bought from best buy. it's great with colors and lights. you don't need flash at night cuz you will be using the LEICA lens, if you don't know what's leica go google it. I'll put some pics out there so you can see.
Great simple point and shoot camera!, Eric Gamez
I got this camera for my dad as a gift and he loves it. If all you need is a simple point and shoot camera that takes decent pictures on auto focus, this is your camera. It has other great features as well, but for professional photographers I probably would choose something better if you are looking for great pictures with more technical aspects. Great value for the price!
panasonic lumix camera, Stanley J. Foster
camera works great, the only problem I have found is it replaced a Kodak East Share and the battery does not have as much life as the Kodak.
Noisy and horrible Indoor photos, Atharuddin Mohammad
am really not impressed with this camera at all.... By paying $168.00 for this camera I was atleast expecting decent photos not worried about the HD recording that is horrible too...I recently used this camera for my office party and its was a bright day outside we took some photos in our conference room which has enough light coming in as it has big glass still didn't give me decent pictures all noisy and smokey.....I really hate this product never going back to Panasonic Lumix.
Lumix is fantastic, A. Sanabria "amazon shopper"
I have had various brands of point and shoot digital cameras
I am very happy with this one
Excellent picture quality
So far so good, Lcaruso
It's ok. I just thought, it would have more "manual" possibilities. Even though it's a point and shoot camera, I would prefer if it was possible to have more configurations and easy access to the menus.
Fantastic pocket camera!, J. Kluin
I love this camera. I've had it for about two years now and have made thousands of pictures. For a simple camera it works great. Wtihout fiddling with it too much I can make great pictures. What more could I want? I would definitely recommend this camera!
Great inexpensive small camera, clm
We've had four of these since they came out in 2011. No problems with any of them. My wife has used hers the most, taken thousands of photos and she carries it in her purse to be there whenever she wants it. You can only get a certain amount of image quality from a photo sensor the size of a small shirt button. Amateur and professional photographers wouldn't lug around big heavy cameras and huge lenses if they could take the same photos with a camera like this. It's a point and shoot, snapshot camera. It's well made, reliable, easy to operate, and within the limitations of what it is, it takes great photos. If all you do is post photos on the internet, look at them on your computer, or print an 8X10, it has all the image quality you will ever need. That covers about 90% of camera users. One of the big DSLR companies did a study of their customers and discovered that more than half never removed the lens from the camera, didn't own any other lenses, and didn't even know how to take the lens off the camera. But they thought they would get better photos by spending four times the money and carrying around a big heavy camera. Wrong. Look at some of the iPhone pictures taken by professional photographers.
There is a newer model now, the ZS25, that is similar but has a 20X zoom. But it's double the price.
