Panasonic LUMIX DMC-FX55, 8.1 Megapixel, 3.6x Optical/4x Digital Zoom, Digital Camera (Black)

The Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX55 Digital Camera has an ultra slim body - yet it contains a professional quality 3.6x wide angle zoom lens that is equivalent to a 28-100mm lens in 35mm terms permitting you to easily capture a large group of people, or expansive architectural structures and landscapes with dynamic width and rich perspective. The telephoto end of the camera's zoom can also be extended an additional 5.7x (when shooting 3 megapixels or less) with minimal loss of image quality thanks to the Extra Optical Zoom feature.

The top quality Leica DC Vario-Elmarit lens also provides an ingenious combination of two anti blur systems (MEGA O.I.S and Intelligent ISO control), ensuring that you'll get consistently sharp and bright images, regardless of the shooting situation. Furthermore, the Venus Engine III advanced image-processing engine can record at a sensitivity setting as a high as ISO 1250, providing fast camera functioning, and keeps power usage down so you can keep shooting pictures all day.

The DMC-FX55 has a bright, high resolution LCD display that measures 3.0" diagonally so you can easily frame your shots and then review and share your pictures with family and friends. Furthermore, the camera's controls are very intuitive with a logical mode dial, a one-touch function button to quickly access commonly used menu selections, and a slew of scene modes for getting the best possible exposure, without the need to manually adjust all of the camera settings. In addition, the camera is extremely energy efficient, so the included lithium-ion battery can provide 280 shots on a single charge.
