Panasonic DMC FX01

The Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX01 is a compact digicam from Panasonic's FX series, built around a Leica-branded lens and Panasonic's Mega Optical Image Stabilization system. It uses a Leica DC Vario-Elmarit 28mm wide-angle lens, unusual for a compact of its time since most rivals started at 35mm or 38mm equivalent, which makes it more useful indoors and in tight spaces.

It sits in Panasonic's slim FX line, aimed at casual and travel shooters who wanted a pocketable camera with a genuinely wide lens and image stabilization, features still uncommon on budget compacts in the mid-2000s. It pairs its lens with Panasonic's Venus Engine III processor for faster response and in-camera noise reduction, continuing the formula that made the earlier FX8/FX9 models popular.
