Lumix Digital Cameras

Lumix Digital Still Cameras take a WIDE view!

Most conventional digital cameras offer a weak wide angle and you get in trouble if you want to fit all your friends in the frame or take in more of landscapes or interiors.

The Panasonic Lumix series of wide angle cameras make the perfect partner for wide angle shots – featuring 25mm, 28mm and 29mm wide angle lenses.

Although the difference between 35mm and 25mm equivalent lenses may not sound like a lot, the 25mm wide angle lens can capture a subject or scene with more than a two times wider frame from the same perspective as a conventional 35mm camera can achieve. This extra range is especially useful when you are indoors where you can be restricted in your movements by walls, corners, or furniture trying to take a photo of the family or friends, or when you want to capture a much wider landscape.

The advanced Lumix DMC-TZ7 for example, features two aspherical lenses with three aspherical surfaces including two ED lenses. This lens system makes it possible to deliver a 25mm wide angle lens with 12x optical zoom in a compact body.

The new 29mm wide angle Leica DC lens allows for a remarkably compact body and slim profile, while it captures the subject and the scene wider at the same standpoint than conventional 35mm cameras do. The compact and stylish Panasonic Lumix DMC-FS25 is the perfect companion for capturing groups of friends at parties, and the whole family in a family portrait during gatherings.
