Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX3

Panasonic has announced a further addition to its compact Lumix range in the form of the DMC-FX3, a budget 6 megapixel model with a 3x (35-105mm) optically-stabilized zoom and high sensitivity (ISO 1600) mode - albeit one that works at a significantly reduced resolution. The FX3 also sports a 2.5-inch screen (with a slightly lower resolution than the more expensive models) and wide VGA movie mode.

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX3 Review - Steve's Digicams

Steve's Conclusion The Lumix DMC-FX3 is one of several offerings from Panasonic for 2006, and shares almost all of its features with the DMC-FX9 from last year. It retains the same 6-megapixel imager, Leica DC-VARIO ELMARIT 3x optical zoom lens, Mega O.I.S. image stabilization and 2.5-inch LCD.
