Panasonic's FX150 and DMC-LX3 Digicams Announced

DMC-LX3

It comes equipped with an ultra-sensitive 1/1.63-inch CCD developed specially for the new model. In the LX3, Panasonic has tried to push toward higher pixel counts. Rather than cramming in the maximum number of pixels possible, it has limited the LX3's 1/1.63-inch CCD to 10.1 megapixels. The result is a CCD that provides a generous amount of space for each pixel while offering superb sensitivity and a wide dynamic range made possible by maximizing the size of the photodiode. Panasonic has also redesigned the peripheral circuits and other components to further minimize noise generation. The CCD in DMC-LX3 can reproduce images shot with the lens set from 24mm to 60mm in any of three aspect ratios; 4:3, 3:2 or 16:9

The LX3 comes with the F2.0 24mm ultra-wide-angle LEICA DC VARIO-SUMMICRON lens and offers a Film mode with 6 color types and 3 types of monochrome to choose from.

The LX3 boasts a large 3.0-inch LCD with a 3:2 aspect ratio and high 460,000-dot resolution.
