Panasonic have just announced the brand new Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ45 digital camera. As the direct successor to the hugely popular Lumix FZ38 the FZ45 is set for great things. This hybrid superzoom has an improved 25mm wide-angle lens (FZ38 was 27mm) and has a larger 24x optical zoom (that’s equivalent to 25mm-600mm). With the addition of Panasonic’s new Intelligent Zoom function this can be increased to 32x. There is a resolution increase to a 14.1 megapixel CCD sensor (FZ38 has 12.1mp). It has the same AVCHD Lite high-definition movie recording capability as the FZ38 but it’s LCD screen has been increased to 3.0″ (FZ38 has a 2.7″ LCD). Other FZ45 features include Intelligent Auto mode with Power Optical Image Stabiliser, intuitive manual controls and My Colour mode which enables users to create a variety of effects with options such as Film Grain and Pin Hole.
