Panasonic's most powerful FX-series camera to date (9/2010), the Panasonic LUMIX DMC-FX700 is a diminutive camera with some very appealing features; many of which it shares with the new DMC-FZ100 and the DMC-FX75. These features include a Live MOS image sensor, AVCHD 1080p high definition video recording, and a 24mm wide-angle 5x optical zoom lens, which allows 213% larger viewing space than a traditional 35mm camera.
