The Panasonic DMC-FX55 features a 3.6X wide-angle optical zoom lens that lets you zoom in on your subject, or snap photos of a large group in a small room.

The 'FX55's optical image stabilization system ensures that your pictures won't be spoiled by camera shake. Built-in sensors detect camera movement and compensate by making precise adjustments to the lens for blur-free photos. Use the high sensitivity mode to shoot photos in low light without a flash — snap pictures of an exhibit in a museum or capture the band and crowd at a show.
