The Panasonic FX580 is a very unique camera indeed. It has a three inch touch screen, but it’s actually a “hybrid” touch screen, meaning some functions are touch and others are buttons. With that being said there has been a lot of confusion when starting to use the buttons.
Usually while going through the menus, you’re using the buttons, but often you get moved over to the touch screen. Since the touch screen works pretty well, a lot of people wish it could just be used simultaneously. It feels random when Panasonic forces you to use one or the other, but you get used to it.
The camera has an all-metal body, so it feels sturdy; it is also almost one inch thick, but still portable. They added some interesting features like face recognition, which basically means you can store a face you take pictures of regularly and then you can give that face focus priority when you’re shooting.
Weirdly enough, normal light pictures are incredibly grainy; normally, outdoor shots are the ones that look good on any camera, but Panasonic used a really small image sensor and it shows. Low light is surprisingly good, though. Anything with a flash shows up clear.
The going price for The Panasonic FX580 is $400.00 USD. The camera in my opinion is not quite worth the price, I have seen much better image quality on cameras that are less than half this price. Reason for this is plain and simple, the confusion between using the buttons, then the touch screen
Maybe if they enhanced the user interface to either use the buttons or the touch screen I would think differently. But the most confusing thing is the fact that the normal light pictures are grainy, and the low light is good. How that makes sense, the world may never know.
