The Panasonic DMC-FX7 5-megapixel Lumix digital camera packs a wealth of advanced technology and easy-to-use features in a sleek, compact package. It’s the first compact digital camera to feature both an Optical Image Stabilizer, and 2.5" LCD. Incorporating a high-performance Leica DC VARIO-ELMARIT lens, the DMC-FX7 combines the ease and convenience of digital utility with the expressiveness of film photography.

The DMC-FX7 features a Leica DC VARIO-ELMARIT lens system comprising 7 elements in six groups, including three aspherical lenses. This small, lightweight lens achieves the fine rendering and vivid color reproduction for which Leica DC lenses are renowned. The Leica DC VARIO-ELMARIT lens features F2.8 - 5.0 brightness and a focal length range of 5.8mm to 17.4mm (35 to 105mm lens on a 35mm film camera.)

Panasonic’s MEGA Optical Image Stabilizer automatically detects and corrects for hand movement. This technology is especially appreciated when taking telephoto shots or when using slow shutter speeds to capture the atmosphere in dimly lit scenes. This optical technology provides precise compensation for movement with no image quality degradation.

Panasonic’s improved Venus 2 Engine LSI handles image processing, LCD functions, and writing to the memory card simultaneously, giving the camera quick response, increased shutter speed and reduced lag time. The improved LSI also allows faster consecutive shooting than its predecessor. If desired, the camera will keep shooting until the memory card is full. This second-generation Venus Engine also improves horizontal, vertical and diagonal resolution.

Other features include 9 thumbnail image display, large 2.5" (diagonal) LCD, 30 or 10 fps QuickTime motion image recording with audio, SD Memory Card/MultiMedia Card slot, MEGA BURST recording for lightning-fast consecutive shots, auto bracketing, program AE, USB port, SD card viewer, SD Memory Card, included ArcSoft photo editing software package, and much more.
