Just posted! Our full in-depth review of the new Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX01. This, the fourth incarnation of the ultra compact range started in 2004 with the FX7, is on the face of it another minor facelift. But it does offer something still pretty unique in a camera in this class - a true wideangle zoom, covering a useful 28-102mm (3.6x) zoom range. It is, in fact, the world's smallest camera with a 28mm lens. Other changes include a high sensitivity mode (offering sensitivities of up to 1600) and a new 16:9 widescreen movie mode. Find out how it did after the link.Read More
