Title: Panasonic Lumix FX100
Post by: Bassonator on December 17, 2011, 08:17:54 AM: So the wife took me out last night to find my Xmas gift, went to London Drugs and saw this $499 camera on for $299.
Liked the fact its sporting a Leica lens and is 24x Optical Zoom. Not a photo pro so asking is it a good buy, unfortunately I cant play with it till Xmas morning.
