Panasonic leaks own PMA line-up including FX35 with 25-mm wide-angle lens

Next in line for their pre-PMA blowout is Panasonic. Unfortunately, no details are available at the moment as their RSS feed seems to have spilled the beans. Nevertheless we can expect new LUMIX cams from their FS-, LZ-, and superzoom TZ-series. They'll also be launching a new FX35 -- their first Lumix with a 25mm wide-angle lens. More just as soon as Panny gets its house in order.

Awesome. Looking forward to the new TZ. Sooo close to buying the TZ3 as it is.

Ooh, same here. Perhaps they'll stick some manual control in; fingers crossed.

Grr! Just bought the FX33 a few days ago, oh well, got it for £150 so doubt this is going to be around that, probs nearer £200, but will be interesting to see what they improve, the FX33/55 are great cameras

hi
i'm looking at getting the fx33 where did u pick it up for £150?

[harveyhanson @ Jun 4th 2008 8:17PM]

Amazon.co.uk I also got the 3year insurance for £14.99, and 2x2GB Sandisk SD Extreme card for £14 each, as i didnt want one big SDHC extreme card.

If you need any help, just email: [e-mail]

Yes, a more "advanced" TZ-series camera would be a great way to build upon the popularity of that model.

Going at 25mm with the FX35 is a nice surprise! The wide angle wars are much better than the megapixel wars :)

It's also interesting that by launching the FS-series, they are essentially trying to increase the "prestige" of the FX-series.

uh... isnt the 'FX35' name copyrighted by Nissan, for the Infiniti FX35? Can panasonic use it? I see a lawsuit coming up......
