Panasonic introduced the first compact camera that boasts with an amazing number of mega-pixels (no less than 12.2) and with industry’s first (for a 12MP camera) 28-mm wide angle.

The new Lumix DMC-FX100 combines 1/1.72-inch large 12.2-megapixel image recording with a superb, 28mm wide-angle Leica DC lens that features a 3.6x optical zoom (equivalent to 28-100mm on a 35mm film camera) and f/2.8 brightness.

The advanced camera allows users to take true-to-life high definition snapshots, with incredible details, clarity and resolution- thanks to the gigantic number of mega-pixels. Its Laica DC lens with an advanced 28mm wide-angle, along with the large CCD, have been specifically designed for the Lumix DMC-FX100, whose sleek, slim body, makes it an attractive acquisition for both professional and amateur photographers.

The quality of the Lumix DMC FX100 goes beyond its high specifications. Panasonic went to great lengths to make the DMC FX100 a camera so effortless to use that anyone will find it easy to take clear, beautiful pictures every time they shoot. At the heart of the Panasonic FX100's super-easy operation is Intelligent Image Stabilization, a Panasonic system offered in all new Lumix cameras. Intelligent Image Stabilization combines two distinct features aimed at making it easy to capture perfect images.

Lumix FX 100 also features an innovative pro-clarity system, called the Mega O.I.S. (Optical Image Stabilizer), a system that helps eliminate blurring due to hand-shake. According to Panasonic, this system is the result of more than 20 years of study and is even able to detect and separate the hand-shake from other movement of camera to raise both precision of detection and corrective effect. In Mega O.I.S., sensors act at a frequency of 4,000 times per second to accurately detect the hand-shake and an O.I.S. lens unit is shifted to compensate.
