Panasonic Adds 2 Cameras to Lumix Line-up

Panasonic today introduced the new Lumix 8.1MP DMC-FX55 and DMC-FX33 cameras of 28mm wide angle LEICA DC lens with 3.6x optical zoom (equivalent to 28mm to 100 mm on a 35mm film camera) featuring f/2.8 brightness. The DMC-FX55 incorporates a 3-inch large LCD whereas the DMC-FX33 pursues further compactness with a 2.5-inch LCD.

These cameras feature Panasonic’s Intelligent Image Stabilization system that comprehends MEGA O.I.S.(Optical Image Stabilizer) to suppress hand-shake and Intelligent ISO Control to prevent motion blur.

The Intelligent Scene Selector automatically sets the appropriate scene mode according to the scene. It is selected from most frequently used scene modes such as portrait, scenery, macro, night scenery and night portrait.

The Face Detection system helps the camera to recognize a human face and focus and set AE. The Quick AF system allows the camera to start focusing on the subject even without pressing a shutter button halfway, to get best results out of a shutter chance by minimizing the AF time. All these happen on the smart auto mode incorporated in these cameras.

These cameras work on Venus Engine III, which renders the newly added High-Speed Burst shooting mode that lets you snap off a lightning-fast seven shots per second, as well as a new High Sensitivity mode that provides a maximum ISO setting of 6400. In addition, when using the High Sensitivity mode, the built-in flash reaches as far as 16 meters.

The DMC-FX55 will be available in silver, black and pink, while the FX33 in silver, black, blue, brown, pink and white. These cameras will be available in the market from September 2007.
