Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX75: Wide Angles, Touch Screen, HD Video

Panasonic's Lumix FX75 strives to be a good looking camera with good looking video to match; the sleek FX75 has a touchscreen, a 24mm super wide angle lens with 5x optical zoom and shoots HD video in AVCHD Lite.

The FX75 packs a 14.1MP sensor and a F2.2, 24mm lens, which isn't totally uncommon in higher-end point and shoots like the drool-worthy Samsung TL500 but could be a nice inclusion here if the price is right. Panny reminds us that the super wide lens offers a 213% larger viewing space than that of a 35mm camera.

The FX75 is finger-friendly, featuring a touch screen for tap-to-set auto focus, and it comes with Panasonic's standard Intelligent Auto mode as well as a new Motion Deblur mode for the shaky-handed. Check the release below for more details—price and shipping date still TBA.
