Digital Camera Review

The Lumix DMC-FX48 is a mid-range point-and-shoot with some interesting features, like HD video. The HD video is a nice upgrade over the previous model, the FX37, but the price has also been significantly upgraded.

Introduction
 
The Panasonic DMC-FX48 is a point-and-shoot capable of 720p HD video capture. It's a slightly more advanced point-and-shoot than many an entry-level model, though you obviously won't be getting the same level of control that you would in a DSLR. Of course, you can't toss an SLR into your top pocket either..

The DMC-FX48 will be available in silver and black models starting in April 2009 for a suggested retail price of $349.95. We had the opportunity to try a pre-production version at the PMA trade show in Las Vegas, and here's what we observed.
