The inbuilt memory is a generous 13.5MB, and the camera is able to shoot in wide VGA mode.

The FX3 will come in either silver or black.

The last two models have the same specifications except for the LCD. The FX50 boasts a 3-inch screen, while the FX07 makes do with a 2.5-inch display.

The Lumix both sport 7.2-megapixel sensors, 28mm wide angle 3.6x zoom lenses with a maximum aperture of f2.8, and Mega Optical Image Stabilizer.

They also feature Intelligent ISO Control that ensures crisp images in low light conditions by boosting the ISO automatically.
