Press Excerpt
Panasonic is introducing a new 14.7-megapixel model to its Lumix FX Premium Series of digital cameras with stylish, high-quality bodies and high-end specifications. Boasting astonishing 14.7-megapixel resolution, the new DMC-FX180 meets the needs of a wide range of consumers looking for an attractive compact camera that makes it easy to take clear, sharp, expressive photos with outstanding detail.
Equipped with a 28mm wide-angle lens, the* FX180 lets users capture images of expansive scenery just as they appear to the naked eye. The wide-angle lens also makes it possible to fit an entire big building or other architectural structure in a single frame – something not possible with most ordinary cameras. And when shooting in tight or crowded indoor spaces, the wide-angle lens fits more people in the photo. The 14.7 megapixels – the most offered in a compact camera – ensure that photos are crisp, clear and sharply detailed even when enlarged. This high resolution also means you can crop unwanted parts of an image and enlarge the rest, creating a beautifully composed photo that retains outstanding detail.
At the heart of the FX180 is Panasonic’s new high-speed, high-performance, next-generation image processing system. The Venus Engine IV not only helps render exquisitely beautiful images even in burst mode or when shooting in low lighting, it’s also more energy-efficient than predecessor models, allowing 330 pictures (CIPA) per battery charge.
