Panasonic DMC-FX150: for the advanced amateur snapper

Looking for a dinky digital camera but don’t fancy compromising on quality? Then you might want to check out Panasonic’s latest launch, the 14.7-megapixel DMC-FX150.

Yes, that’s a whole lot of megapixels for a compact camera, and along with it there’s a 28mm wide-angle lens from master crafters Leica, extensive manual controls to allow tweakage of the shutter speed, focus ISO settings, image stabilisation and automatic face detection (able to recognise up to fifteen fizzogs in one frame). It can also shoot 720p hi-def video clips, and the whole thing’s rounded off by a sizeable 2.7-inch LCD screen.
