Matsushita is claiming a "world's first" for its new LUMIX DMC-FX150: the highest pixel count - 14.7 million - in a "kondeji" ("compact digtal") camera. That's a pixel count unmatched even by a lot of digital SLR cameras. Specs include 28mm lens, 3.6x optical zoom, and 2.7-inch display. Choose from Blade Silver, Mirage Gold, or Esprit Black - colors designed to appeal to the male demographic, says the company. About JPY47,000, from August 22.
