Panasonic Lumix DMC FX500

The Panasonic DMC-FX500 is the flagship of the Lumix compact camera range. Announced in March 2008, it features 10.1 Megapixel resolution, a 3in touch-sensitive screen and a 5x optical zoom with impressive wide angle facilities equivalent to 25mm. Wide angle coverage equivalent to 25mm captures a considerably wider field of view than the typical 36mm youll still find on many compacts. Its also measurably wider than the 28mm equivalent coverage of the better compacts out there, and even most DSLR kit lenses. Its not the first Lumix with 25mm that honour goes to the slim FX35 but with a 5x optical range, the FX500 has a longer reach at the telephoto end. Suffice it to say the lens also features optical image stabilisation to counteract camera shake.
