PANASONIC INTRODUCES TWO NEW COMPACT LUMIX DIGITAL CAMERAS WITH BRAND-NEW INTELLIGENT AUTO MODES

Stylish DMC-FX55 and DMC-FX33 Boast User-Friendly Features, Such as Face Detection and Intelligent Scene Selector.

The new Intelligent Auto Mode available on both the DMC-FX55 and DMC-FX33, include:

• Intelligent Scene Selector, which automatically selects the appropriate scene mode from the most frequently-used modes such as Portrait, Scenery, Macro, Night Scenery and Night Portrait;
• Face Detection System, which helps the camera to focus, set auto exposure and detects up to 15 human faces, capturing them clearly and brightly; and
• Continuous Auto-focus, which allows the camera to maintain focus on the subject without having to press the shutter button halfway and allowing for best results of a photo opportunity by minimizing the auto-focus time.

This SLR style camera (it's not actually a DSLR but looks a little like one) has a 1/2.5 inch CCD sensor with a lens that has an equivalent focal range of a massive 28 to 504mm. The DMC-FZ18 comes with image stabilization (mechanical and ISO controlled) and it has an aperture range of f/2.8 to f/4.5 and an ISO setting of up to 6400 in high sensitivity mode.

It's LCD is 2.5 inches with 207,000 pixels and it comes with face detection technology, 27 megabytes of internal memory and shoots in RAW.

LUMIX DMC-FZ18, a High-Zoom Camera, Introduces New Intelligent Auto Mode, Featuring Face Detection, Intelligent Scene Selector and Continuous Auto-focus

SECAUCUS, N.J. – Panasonic today expanded its LUMIX family of digital still cameras with the introduction of the LUMIX DMC-FZ18, an 8.1 Megapixel compact camera with an impressive 18x optical zoom. In addition to a premium 28mm wide-angle LEICA DC lens, the DMC-FX18 joins the LUMIX DMC-FX33 and DMC-FX55 as the first Panasonic digital cameras to offer the revolutionary Intelligent Auto Mode, which include Face Detection, Intelligent Scene Selector and Continuous Auto-focus functions, allowing users to easily capture clear, professional-quality images in any situation or setting.

The Panasonic DMC-FX100's ISO ranges from 80 to 1600 (and can be pushed up to 6400). It has a 2.5 inch LCD display (207,000 pixels), shoots video at up to 30 frames per second and has 27 megabytes of internal memory.

Intelligent Image Stabilization, a feature across the entire 2007 LUMIX digital camera line, incorporates the industry's most advanced countermeasures against blurring. This system comprises two features - MEGA O.I.S. (Optical Image Stabilization) and Intelligent ISO Control. Together the features make it easy to capture beautiful photos by compensating for the effects of hand-shake and image movement, making it possible to take clear, crisp photos anytime, in any mode. 

The LZ6 is fairly much identical to the LZ7 except for it's 2.0 inch LCD (.5 of an inch smaller than the LZ7).

The Panasonic Lumix DMC-LZ6 also features image stabilization (optical and ISO).

All new Lumix models, including the DMC-LZ7 and DMC-LZ6, incorporate Intelligent Image Stabilization, a new camera system that comprises MEGA O.I.S. (Optical Image Stabilizer) and Intelligent ISO Control, together making it easy to capture beautiful photos every time you shoot. With Intelligent Image Stabilization -- MEGA O.I.S. to compensate for hand-shake plus Intelligent ISO Control to prevent motion blur -- Panasonic has taken image stabilisation a leap forward and equipped the new Lumix DMC-LZ7 and DMC-LZ6 with the industry's most advanced countermeasures against blurring.

In addition, the new DMC-LZ7 and DMC-LZ6, which feature impressive bright 2.5-inch and 2.0-inch LCDs respectively, are equipped with the Panasonic Venus Engine III image processing engine that gives them even higher image quality and speedier processing than before. The Venus Engine III, which in the past was offered only in the higher end Lumix models, records at a sensitivity setting as high as ISO 1250 with full resolution, and aids in noise reduction by removing picture noise removed in stages during image processing. And, with its multi-task image-processing capability, the Venus Engine III boasts outstanding response time with shutter release time lag as short as 0.005 second. This fast response makes it easy to capture sudden, spur-of-the-moment shots, and allows for unlimited consecutive shooting.

Panasonic, a leader in standardizing optical image stabilization across its full camera line with Mega Optical Image Stabilization (MEGA O.I.S.), now adds Intelligent ISO to create the Intelligent Image Stabilization System. While MEGA O.I.S. compensates for the effects of hand-shake, making it possible to capture clear, crisp photos indoors, at night, or when taking macro close-ups, it cannot suppress the motion blur caused by a subject moving as the photo is taken. With Intelligent ISO, the camera's image-processing engine detects if the subject is moving and automatically raises the ISO setting and shutter speed according to the light conditions and the speed of the movement.

"Consumers want compact, easy-to-use cameras that take crisp, clear and beautiful pictures all the time," said Alex Fried, National Marketing Manager, Imaging, Panasonic Corporation of North America. "At Panasonic, we aim to deliver just that by offering a full line of cameras - from compact to SLR - eliminating the effects of hand shake and motion blur with the Intelligent Image Stabilization System, which offers the industry's most advanced countermeasures against blurring."

The Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ2 features largely the same feature set as the TZ3 including the 10x optical zoom but in addition to the smaller megapixel image sensor it has a smaller LCD screen (2.5 inches).

The Ultimate Companion for All Your Photographic Needs

Panasonic Lumix cameras go from strength to strength with technological advancements designed to offer the ultimate in picture performance and convenience. Panasonic’s new DMC-TZ2 and DMC-TZ3 are the latest members of the award-winning Lumix TZ family of digital cameras, which is renowned for packaging a remarkable 10x optical zoom in a compact, stylish body. To further add to their appeal, the TZ2 and TZ3 go one step further to feature a 28mm wide-angle Leica DC lens (equivalent to 28-280mm on a 35mm film camera) for wide-angle shooting.

It features a lens with the equivilent of 28-200mm and comes with a large 3.0 inch LCD screen. It allows shooting in a variety of aspect ratios (4:3, 3:2 or 16:9) and has an ISO range of up to 1250. This camera features the LSI Venus Engine III processor.

The entire 2007 Lumix spring digital still camera line incorporates the industry's most advanced countermeasures against blurring with the introduction of Intelligent Image Stabilization. This system comprises two features -- MEGA O.I.S. (Optical Image Stabilizer) and Intelligent ISO Control. Together the features make it easy to capture beautiful photos every time users shoot by compensating for the effects of hand-shake and image movement, making it possible to capture clear, crisp photos anytime, in any mode.

"The Lumix DMC-TZ3 is the successor to the extremely popular DMC-TZ1, and the perfect camera for anyone with an active lifestyle. It combines a host of must-have features into a compact, stylish body ideal for slipping into your coat pocket or travel bag," said Alex Fried, National Marketing Manager, Imaging, Panasonic Corporation of North America. "With 10x Optical Zoom, a powerful 28mm wide-angle LEICA lens and Intelligent Image Stabilization, the DMC-TZ3 is destined to be a leader and innovator in the compact zoom space."

The FX12 also features wide-aspect VGA video at 30 frames per second and will be available in blue, silver or black.
