Panasonic DMC ZX1

New Panasonic Lumix ZX1 has 8x optical zoom with a 25mm ultra wide angle LEICA DC VARIO-ELMAR lens. A 12.1-megapixel high resolution CCD into a compact body.

Panasonics MEGA O.I.S. has now evolved into the new POWER O.I.S., helping prevent handshake even when using high-powered zoom. With twice the shake suppression capability of previous models, the new POWER O.I.S is particularly effective when shooting at night with a low shutter speed for example, whilst also greatly improving the quality of shots taken indoors where a flash cannot be used or where a photographer doesn’t want to use a flash because it would spoil the mood.
