The Panasonic Lumix DMC LX2 is the successor to the LX1, the world’s first digital camera with a widescreen 16:9 sensor. The new LX2 features a 4X optical zoom with stabilisation, stacks of manual control, an increase in resolution to 10.2 Megapixels and a 16:9 shaped 2.8in screen to match the shape of its sensor. Find out how it performs in our Panasonic LX2 review and our Panasonic LX2 video tour.

Panasonic’s Lumix DMC-TZ1 is a 5 Megapixel compact with a difference: it houses a powerful 10x optical zoom lens with an equivalent range of 35-350mm. Optical stabilisation combats camera-shake and there’s also a genuine widescreen movie mode. It sounds ideal for anyone wanting the power of a long zoom with the convenience of a compact, but can such a long lens in a small package really deliver the goods?
