Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ50 Details
Editors' Comments
If you loved Panasonic's FZ30 (and who didn't?), you'll want to get your hands on the all-new Lumix FX50 with 12x optical zoom. With such a long zoom, image stabilization is key, and Panasonics lauded Mega O.I.S. technology helps to reduce the shake and jitter of unsteady hands that can often blur your photos. This sturdy, attractive camera also can take video at 30 frams per second in a 16:9 widescreen aspect ratio, perfect for modern widescreen TVs and computer displays.
