Well, that was the case until Panasonic broke the rules again, this time with their Lumix FX100.Not only is it a tiny, sleek, stylish put-it-in-your-top-pocket camera, it has a 28-100mm zoom using a Leica lens. And it has an image size of an astounding 12.2 megapixels. This little gem is packed with useful features as well. It has an intelligent optical image stabiliser to help with the blurring more noticeable with such good resolution. There is also an Intelligent ISO Control setting that allows the camera to raise the ISO to suit the movement of the subject.
