 With what seems like a mountain of cameras coming out this month boasting 12MP or above, Panasonic can now claim to have the world's first 12.2-Megapixel digital camera with a 28mm wide-angle lens.
The FX100 is equipped with a newly developed 28mm wide-angle LEICA DC VARIO ELMARIT lens featuring f/2.8 brightness and a 3.6x optical zoom plus a 12.2-megapixel CCD. Developed specifically for the DMC-FX100, this Leica DC lens should give you true-to-life high-resolution images with excellent resolution, detail and clarity.
The 28mm wide-angle lens will allow photographers to capture a large group of people, or expansive architectural structures and landscapes with dynamic width and rich perspective. The wide-angle lenss should be particularly helpful in situations where you cannot step back or move away from a subject - ideal for shooting group portraits in a small room for example. To further add to its appeal, Panasonic has managed to pack the advanced 28mm wide-angle lens and large CCD into a sleek, slim body.
With TV screens getting bigger and picture definition increasing, Panasonic believe that you will need to be able to shoot higher-quality still images and motion pictures. With the FX100, you can shoot hi-definition 1920 x 1080 pixel photos that are ideal for full-screen viewing on a wide-screen (16:9) TV.
Not only can you capture beautiful still images - these new models also record wide aspect VGA (640 x 480) and WVGA (848 x 480) motion images at 30 frames per second. If this wasn't enough, the FX100 can also record wide-aspect HD (1280 x 720) motion images at 15 frames per second.
This enables you to view them on a widescreen HDTV television perfectly. Panasonic also offers the DMW-SDP1 HDTV Photo Player, which makes it easy to view a slideshow of Lumix photos in 1080i high definition quality. Simply connect the SDP1 via a component cable to a HDTV and slip the SDHC/SD memory card into the slot, and you're ready to view high definition images on a large display with family or friends.
The FX100 will be available from July, no price details as of yet.
