New Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX1 16:9 Digital Camera

The 8.4 megapixel Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX1 digital camera must be the first digicam to have a true wide aspect ratio 16:9 CCD matrix. The camera also features 4x optical zoom, equivalent to 28 to 112 mm on a 35 mm camera, and an optical image stabilization.





The Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX1 also features Extended Optical Zoom, which utilizes the center of the CCD to create a 5.5 megapixel, 16:9 image at 5x zoom. The camera can record moving images at 848x480 16:9 Wide VGA at whooping 30 frames per second.

The LX1 offers manual focus and exposure, 16:9 wide image mode, 3:2 image mode, and 4:3 image, in case a more traditional aspect ratio is desired.

The 2.5 inch LCD monitor is perfect for reviewing still images, movies, and up to 25 thumbnail images for quick review, turning the LX1 into a digital photo album as well as a fun image capture device.
