Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ100 is an upcoming 14.1 MP Digital Camera with 24x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom and 3.0-Inch LCD. It features a newly-developed Leica DC Vario-ELMARIT lens with powerful 24x optical zoom. As Panasonic’s first hybrid compact digital camera with a MOS sensor, the Lumix FZ100 can record full 1080p High Definition (HD) video–giving you a powerful hybrid that can shoot video and still photos with ease and professional-like quality. People will be very happy with such a camera.
The Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ100 camera has an incredibly fast burst shooting in 14.1-megapixel full resolution at 11 frames per second with a mechanical shutter, and increases the frames per second to 60 in 3.5-megapixel recording.
What’s more, the Lumix FZ100 features continuous Auto Focus up to five frames per second at full resolution for great action shots. It also features Intelligent Burst shooting. The digital camera judges the appropriate shutter speed to suppress the motion blur according to the movement of the subject, rising as high as possible, activating the high sensitivity recording. So I think you guys will love this camera too.
