The new Lumix DMC-FX07 7.2-megapixel digital camera features a wide-angle f2.8 Leica DC lens with 3.6x optical zoom (equivalent to 28mm to 102mm on a 35mm film camera), an Intelligent Image Stabilizer by Mega O.I.S. (Optical Image Stabilizer), and Intelligent ISO control. The DMC-FX07 also pursues further compactness with a 2.5-inch LCD.
To fight against the major cause of blurred images, Panasonic invented the Mega O.I.S. system, taking advantage of its superior lens technology to compensate for handshake. In addition, to also compensate for the other major cause of blurred images–movement of the subject–the FX07 camera is also equipped with the world’s first Intelligent ISO Control (hereafter I.I.C.) and a maximum ISO of 1250, for high-sensitivity recording at full resolution within the advanced image processing LSI Venus Engine III. When set to the I.I.C., the Venus Engine III detects the subject’s movement and adjusts the ISO setting and shutter speed to best suit the movement and light condition automatically. Panasonic’s excellent image stabilization system allows users to take clear, crisp images in any situation, leaving everything to the camera.

Review By Panasonic
With 207,000 pixels, the FX07 large 2.5″ LCD shows bright, beautiful images that make it easy to frame the perfect shot. The LCD uses the pixel-mixed readout method, which automatically increases display brightness when you’re shooting a dark scene. The High-Angle shooting function also provides easier viewing when you’re holding the camera high to shoot over the heads of people in front of you.

The FX07 incorporates an easy-to-see 2.5-inch 207K-pixel high-resolution LCD. The pixel-mixed readout method performed by the CCD automatically increases the brightness level of the live image on the LCD, which greatly facilitates shooting in low-light situations. With the help of the Power LCD function, which boosts the backlighting of the LCD by 40%, even shooting in bright outdoor situations is no longer a problem. The High Angle mode makes the display extremely easy to view from low angles, for example, when holding the camera up high to take pictures over a crowd. It can be accessed easily and quickly by using the dedicated button

I bought this camera in blue color to somebody as a present half a year ago.
In comparing to some other camera I used myself this camera makes much more real and bright colors, than others. If you’re not using digital zoom, pics are good even at night.
Also the videos it makes have very high quallity (big size and not crappy image).
One of the reasons why I bought it was that it has wide angle lens - i think this is usefull.
However today this camera seems to be little old already.
