Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX1EG-K
The DMC-LX1 features a 4x optical zoom with a 28 to 112mm
wide-angle capability (35mm equivalent). This and a 1/1.65"
diagonal CCD with 8.4 million effective pixels give you superb image
quality over a wide shooting range. The Extended Optical Zoom,
which minimizes the image degradation that normally occurs with
digital zooming, gives you up to 5x zooming power. Plus, the 4x
optical zoom and 4x digital zoom can be used together to produce a
maximum of 16x zooming power.The DMC-LX1 features a 2.5"
diagonal high-resolution LCD monitor - surprisingly large for such a
compact camera. This high-quality, 207, 000-pixel display makes it
easy to see your subject. For easier viewing when shooting outdoors
on a sunny day, press the Power LCD button to boost the
backlighting by about 40%.Jitter from shaky hands is one of the
main reasons why cameras produce blurry images. Not everyone
has hands of stone when taking pictures - that's why Lumix cameras
help solve the problem of unsteady hands with advanced MEGA
Optical Image Stabilizer technology. The DMC-LX1 has a built-in
gyrosensor that detects any hand movement and relays a signal to a
tiny microcomputer inside the camera, which instantly calculates the
compensation needed. A linear motor then shifts the Optical Image
Stabilizer lens as necessary to guide incoming light from the image
straight to the CCD. You won't even notice it working - all you'll see
are the outstanding results!In addition to displaying the settings in
large, easy-to-understand text, the large, 2.5" diagonal screen with
230, 000-pixel resolution lets you show up to 25 thumbnail images at
once. This makes it easier to search for, and organize, the photos
you take.A switch at the top of the lens barrel lets you choose an
aspect ratio of normal 4:3, wide 16:9, or the 3:2 used in film
cameras. A 16:9 image is obtained using the wide-angle lens and
large CCD, instead of the conventional method of cropping the top
and bottom of a 4:3 image.A switch on the side of the lens lets you
match the focusing operation to your shot. Choose from 1-point AF
(normal or high-speed), 3-point high-speed AF, 9-point AF, Spot AF,
AF macro to focus from as close as 0.16feet (5cm) from the subject,
or manual focus using the joystick. Focusing is also made easier by
the Manual Focus Assist function, which lets you enlarge the center
