About the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX78 (Lumix DMC-FX77)
The Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX78 (Lumix DMC-FX77), released in January 2011, is a compact built around a bright wide end. Its 5x optical zoom spans 24-120 mm in 35mm terms and opens to F2.5 at 24 mm, closing to F5.9 at the long end.
The sensor is a 1/2.33-inch CCD with about 12 megapixels, a modest count that leaves each pixel more area than a denser sensor of the same size would. A 3.5-inch monitor makes framing and playback easier than the usual 3-inch panel. The body measures 100 x 55 x 21 mm and weighs 142 g, with SD, SDHC and SDXC card support. The F2.5 aperture helps indoors and in evening light, while the zoom stays moderate. It suits people who value a wide, fast lens over reach.
Buying one used
A dedicated lithium-ion battery powers this camera, so check charging and whether a charger is included. Test the 5x lens movement, inspect the large 3.5-inch screen, and verify an SD, SDHC or SDXC card.
