Panasonic today added the compact DMC-FX100 to its LUMIX family of digital cameras featuring 12.2MP with a 28mm wide-angle. The launch comes only a few days after Sony announced the DSC-W200 , that was touted to be the first compact camera with 12.1MP sensors.


The 28mm wide-angle LEICA DC lens features 3.6x optical zoom, f/2.8 brightness, 1/1.72-inch large CCD and Intelligent Image Stabilization with Mega O.I.S. and Intelligent ISO Control. The LUMIX DMC-FX100 is also equipped with a 2.5-inch LCD screen.

The camera also includes the Intelligent Image Stabilization technology to counter blurring. This system comprises two features – MEGA O.I.S. (Optical Image Stabilization) and Intelligent ISO Control. Together the features help capture photos by compensating for the effects of hand-shake and image movement.

“Thanks in large part to the DMC-FX100’s newly developed exclusive LEICA DC lens and the high-quality, high-performance Venus Engine III, you no longer have to sacrifice power in a compact camera,” said Alex Fried, National Marketing Manager, Optical Imaging, Panasonic Consumer Electronics Company.

“With an impressive 12.2 megapixel resolution power, a 28mm wide angle lens and Intelligent Image Stabilization, the DMC-FX100 is raising the bar for the entire compact, point-and-shoot class.”

The DMC-FX100 also introduces flash with reach up to 16 meters, high-speed burst shooting, which allows consecutive shooting at a speed of eight shots per second and a new high sensitivity mode in which ISO 6400 recording is realized. The DMC-FX100 can also record 1920 x 1080 high-definition still pictures and 1280 x 720 at 15 frames per second motion pictures, for viewing on 16:9 High Definition Plasmas.
