Panasonic unveils the world’s first 12.2 megapixel digital camera with 28mm wide-angle LEICA DC lens and expands its LUMIX family of digital cameras with the compact LUMIX DMC-FX100.
The newly developed and exclusive 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. Collectively the features make it easy to capture beautiful pictures by balancing for the effects of hand-shake and image movement, making it possible to take clear, crisp photos anytime, in any mode.
The newly announced DMC-FX100, available in silver and black, additionally introduces a more powerful flash with reach up to 16 meters, high-speed burst shooting, which allows consecutive shooting at a lightning-fast eight shots per second and a new high sensitivity mode in which ISO 6400 recording is realized. The LUMIX DMC-FX100 camera is the first to capture images in a native HDTV resolution (1920×1080-pixels) so as to produce the best possible image quality when displayed on high-definition televisions.
“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. 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,†expresses Alex Fried, National Marketing Manager, Optical Imaging, Panasonic Consumer Electronics Company.
