Panasonic’s Lumix line of compact cameras have a number of signature features, and the Lumix DMC-FX100 is no different. Besides the 12.2 megapixel image sensor, the camera features a fast, true wide-angle Leica lens with 3.6x optical zoom. The Lumix DMC-FX100 also integrates Panasonic’s Mega O.I.S. technology that helps prevent hand shake from blurring those precious moments, as well as 20 different scene modes, including a high-sensitivity mode that turns allows for an ISO setting of 6400. Completing the package is a high-definition movie mode that captures movies at full 720p (1280x720) resolution at 15 frames per second. Less
The EOS Rebel T2i has an 18.0-megapixel CMOS sensor that captures images with exceptional clarity and tonal range and offers more than enough resolution for big enlargements or crops.
