The camera is equipped with the Intelligent Image Stabilizer, which combines MEGA O.I.S. (Optical Image Stabilizer) and Intelligent ISO Control. MEGA O.I.S. lets even inexperienced...

When snapping photos of an actively moving baby or pet, Intelligent ISO Control automatically prevents blurring caused by subject motion. Combined with high 7.2-megapixel (DMC-FX12) resolution and the high-performance Venus Engine III image processor, Intelligent Image Stabilizer ensures beautiful results every time. With its advanced image-rendering performance, the LEICA DC VARIO-ELMARIT lens with 3x optical zoom lets you create clear, beautiful, expressive photographs. And when you want to bring your subject closer, simply use the 4.5x (DMC-FX12, 35mm equivalent: 157mm) Extra Optical Zoom. This conveniently small camera has huge potential. Enjoy a high-performance camera without having to make highly complicated settings. The DMC-FX12 features a Scene Mode function that lets you choose from among 20 modes, including the newly added SUNSET and PET. It also has a Simple Mode for super-easy shooting in most conditions. The Mode Dial makes it easy to switch between shooting and viewing modes, so you can snap a picture and enjoy viewing it right away.

Full review
I have recently bought this camera at the beginning of September, it arrived 2 days before I did a hot air balloon flight so I had no time to practice with it at all, however the pictures I took have come out fantastic and the camera couldn't have been any more user friendly. I have since discovered other functions on the camera like the soft skin mode which gives people' complexions a smooth appearance, the scenic fundtion which takes pictures of landscapes and enhances the colours slightly. The zoom works fantastically as does the auto focus, it's the kind of camera that gives the impression you have been doing photography for years when you see the photo's. I'm a complete novice and had it figured out really quickly. I love the size which is perfect for holding and the appearance gives the impression of high quality. It couldn't be easier to upload the photo's onto the PC too!!
