Panasonic has just announced the launch of its new 12.2 megapixel digital camera, Lumix DMC-FX100 model. This compact digicam boasts the ability to record movie in HD (High-Definition format) at a resolution of 1280 x 720 @ 15fps. Unfortunately, it is only equipped with a 27MB onboard memory, so users will definitely need to use SD media card for storing those fat HD video. When it comes to still image, FX100 can take photo in 4:3 mode and 16:9 widescreen mode for a whopping 4000 x 2248 image resolution.

Other features include a 2.5-inch LCD display, a 3.6x optical zoom — thanks to the newly developed 28mm wide-angle LEICA DC lens –, f/2.8 brightness, high-speed snapshot mode that capture eight photos per second at full resolution, unlimited consecutive shooting, and Intel Image Stabilisation with Mega O.I.S and Intelligent ISO Control. Weighs at just 150grams, Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX100 digital camera is available in two colors, silver and black.

No words on pricing at the moment.
