Panasonic's 2010 LUMIX Digital Cameras Get Priced

Panasonic just announced pricing for its new line of LUMIX digital cameras - the LUMIX FH, FP and F- Series. The new LUMIX digital cameras will be hitting store shelves in mid-February 2010.

Three new LUMIX cameras will be available in the FH-Series, the FH1, FH3 and FH20. All three feature a 28mm wide-angle lens, record HD video, and feature Panasonics iA (Intelligent Auto) mode. The 12.1 megapixel LUMIX FH1 will be available for $159.95, the 14.1 megapixel LUMIX FH3 will be $179.95 and the 14.1 megapixel LUMIX FH20 has an MSRP of $199.95.

In Panasonic's FP Series, the LUMIX FP1 and FP3 both sport a 4x optical zoom with a folded optics design. New to the series is a lens cover that not only protects the lens, but acts as the camera's power switch. HD video recording is another new feature to this series, and the FP3 takes it a step further with the addition of a 3.0" touch-screen LCD. The 12.1 megapixel FP1 will be available for $149.95 and the FP3 for $229.95.

New to Panasonic's LUMIX F-Series is the LUMIX F3 and LUMIX F2. Both have been designed to be simple to use, but still give you the performance you expect from a LUMIX digital camera. Both models record HD video, feature 28mm wide angle lenses and have an Extra Optical Zoom function which extends zoom power from 4x to 7.8x. Both models also have Intelligent ISO Control, Face Detection, and an Intelligent Scene Selector which automatically selects the best scene mode for shooting.

The 12.1 megapixel LUMIX F3 will be available for $129.95 and the LUMIX F2 for $109.95.
