Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX9 reviewed

Panasonic is somewhat unique in this area, offering stabilization on camera models that offer as little as 3x optical zoom, where other manufacturers until recently have restricted the feature to their long-zoom cameras. While stabilization on a 3x zoom camera like the Panasonic Lumix FX9 may not be as much of a necessity as it would be on a long-zoom digicam, it does make a useful difference in the photos you'll be able to shoot in available light -- without flash and, therefore, without red-eye. You'll also need a tripod much less often, and those times when a tripod just isn't an option, you won't have to resort to boosting the ISO sensitivity (and noise levels) as much as you might have with a non-stabilized camera. If you're in the market for an affordable digital camera with the advantages of optical image stabilization, the Lumix FX9 could be the camera for you.
