Camera Overview — Panasonic DMC-FX90

The Panasonic LUMIX FX90 is a compact point-and-shoot camera built around a 12MP sensor in a 1/2.3-inch format, powered by Panasonic's Venus Engine image processor. It covers an ISO range from 80 to 6400, giving shooters flexibility across a variety of lighting conditions. The camera's 3.0-inch TFT LCD touchscreen at 460,000 dots serves as the primary interface for composing shots and navigating menus — no optical or electronic viewfinder is present.

Autofocus is handled by a contrast detection system with 9 focus points, and the camera supports a burst mode reaching up to 3.7 frames per second. Optical image stabilization (OIS) helps counteract camera shake. Built-in Wi-Fi enables wireless connectivity, while Micro HDMI output allows connection to external displays.

Storage is handled via SD, SDHC, and SDXC cards. The camera also features a built-in flash with multiple modes including Auto, On, Off, Red-Eye Reduction, and Slow Sync. Video records at up to 60fps in 8-bit Standard color.

The body, constructed from a plastic/metal composite, measures 102 x 56 x 22 mm and weighs just 149g, making it genuinely pocketable. Battery life is rated at approximately 200 shots per charge using the DMW-BCF10E battery.
