Professional reviewers position the FZ45 as an ideal entry-level camera, emphasizing its user-friendly interface, compact build and basic Full HD video.

Casual users consistently praise the camera's simplicity, lightweight travel-friendliness and low cost, noting that it works well for everyday snapshots and family moments. Recurring criticisms focus on the need to buy an SD card separately, the brief battery life, and the absence of a viewfinder for precise composition.
Professional reviewers commend the Lecnippy DC402-AF for its ultra-compact, lightweight build, reliable autofocus, and beginner-oriented features like the flip screen and digital anti-shake, deeming it a solid entry-level option for casual shooters and vloggers.
