New Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX7 5MP Digital Camera

Pansonic announces the new Lumix DMC-FX7 5MP Digital Camera, which competes directly with the Sony DSC-T1. The DMC-FX7 features a 2.5inch display. The size is 94.1 mm x 50 mm x 24.2 mm. The Sony DSC-T1 measures 91 x 60 x 21mm. The Sony is still thinner than the Lumix DMC-FX7. The DMC-FX7 features 3x optical zoom. Panasonic's MEGA O.I.S. system offsets jitters every time, using a gyrosensor that detects even the slightest shaking of the camera and sends a signal to a linear motor, which adjusts the lens elements. Panasonic also introduced the Lumix DMC-FX2, LUMIX DMC-FZ3 and the LUMIX DMC-FZ20.
