The Lumix DMC-FX48 Digital Camera from Panasonic is a compact point-and-shoot digital camera, which can easily fit in a shirt pocket or purse. The slim camera features an impressive Leica wide-angle zoom lens, perfect for capturing group shots when zoomed out or individual portraiture when zoomed all the way in.
The innovative Intelligent Auto (iA) helps you to take clearer, sharper photographs. This mode includes a Face Recognition function, which can "remember" registered faces. The camera will help to optimize focus and exposure so that the owners of these registered faces will be bright and in focus in photos.
Shaky hands in less-than-ideal lighting conditions can often ruin a photograph. The Lumix features Panasonic's MEGA O.I.S system to help prevent this. This system uses optical stabilization to help counteract shaking, coupled with an intelligent ISO control that automatically adjusts the camera's sensitivity to light in order to achieve a faster shutter speed.

Comments about Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX48 Digital Camera (Black):
just got this model for it's HD video capability, and i must say it does it pretty well ( 720P ) even in dark confitions at ambient light.
there's a terrible mistake on stills though. in sun light, whites goes completely blank and with flare. even my 6 years old EXILIM woudn't make such bad images on daylight.. also, blacks and other very dark colors get much lighter then originaly it is..
conclusion, good for video and bad for stills.
i wish i spent a little more and got the ZS3...
