Panasonic launches new LUMIX hybrid cameras

Panasonic's new compact digital still cameras also take great-looking 720p high-definition videos.

In a seminar in Singapore this week, Panasonic launched its new FT-rugged, TZ and FS series of LUMIX digital cameras. Among the models released were two hybrid models -- the LUMIX DMC-FT1 and the LUMIX DMC-TZ7 -- which, in addition to being able to capture high-quality still images, can also capture vibrant and clear 720p-resolution videos. We were given the opportunity to road test pre-production models of these two cameras, and test shots are presented over the next few slides. Keep in mind that the firmware in these cameras is yet to be finalised, so the quality of shots taken by the production models will probably end up being better than what you see here (photography skills notwithstanding). None of the photos have been altered, apart from some cropping and re-sizing to fit these pages.
