The Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX50
(and Lumix DMC-FX07) has 7.2MP resolution,
3.6x optical zoom with image stabilization, a
high-resolution extra large 3.0-in. LCD monitor,
and a wide-angle 28mm LEICA DC lens.
The f/2.8 28mm wide angle Leica
DC Vario-ELmarit Lens allows you to cover a wider
view than most digital cameras do with their standard
35mm focal length. A wide angle lens lets you
capture group shots of family and friends or expansive
architectural structures and sceneries. [ Learn

If there is one technology that
has made Panasonic digital cameras a household
word, it's got to be their excellent optical image
stabilizer (O.I.S.): MEGA O.I.S. helps to effectively
eliminate or reduce blurring caused by hand-shake.
Furthermore, an Intelligent ISO Control feature
will select a fast enough shutter speed and high
ISO combination to minimize blurring if
it detects subject movement, such as when photographing
children and animals. [ Learn more about the Panasonic
Intelligent Image Stabilizer... ]
An improved Venus Engine III and
High Speed AF provides for fast performance and
allows capture of ISO 1250 at full resolution.
Movies with sound are recorded in wide aspect
VGA (848x480) at 30fps.
Easy-to-use scene modes automate
most picture-taking situations.
The Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX50
is JeansPocket™
Certified and should appeal to those desiring
a take anywhere ultra compact with image stabilization.

Lumix DMC-FX07 is similar to the
FX50 but has a slightly different styling and
