The Panasonic Lumix FX100

Due to reasons even more tedious than a long series of updates about batteries, printers and radios, we didn't end up buying a new camera at the end of March like we said we would.

We are therefore still 'in the market' for a new camera. The Lumix FX100 looks nice, plus it can record HD movies in 1280x720 resolution, which, while not particularly useful, is something everyone else's camera can't do so will go some way toward relieving the "status anxiety" we feel every day about having a camera that's four years old and only five megapixels and therefore SHIT.



The FX100 goes up to 12 megapixels, which is more than most cameras so better, plus it has an optical image stabiliser so super-close macro photos of batteries will come out very nice.

ABOUT OUR NEXT CAMERA:
Primarily, our next camera will be used for getting out of a bag and waving about in public, so people know we have a good camera. This is the most important thing, so it has to be a better camera than most other cameras. If this involves spending more money than £129.99, then so be it.
