New (and expensive) Panasonic point-and-shoots: FX37 and LX3
Such descriptive names! These two nice little cameras are just out and have the following characteristics:
FX37: 10.1 megapixels, 25mm Leica lens, 5x optical zoom, optical image stabilization, “intelligent auto mode” which implies other auto modes are stupid but doesn’t seem to include any particularly revolutionary features other than the always handy face detection, tracking autofocus and the like. It automatically levels “tilted” photos, which sounds a bit sketchy to me. Costs $350.
