...ready for a close-up now. Panasonic has introduced the Lumix DMC-FZ10 4-megapixel camera ($600), a superzoom still camera that mimics camcorders in its ability to close in on shots.

That's why, for anyone interested in the FZ10...

The KTC-HR100, due out in January, will be the first HD-radio tuner. In March JVC and Panasonic plan to sell radios with the HD tuner built...
...close-up now. Panasonic has introduced the Lumix DMC-FZ10 4-megapixel camera ($600), a super-zoom still camera that mimics camcorders in its ability to close in on shots. Its 12x-optical-zoom Leica lens lets you clearly capture the writing on the spine of a paperback 30 ft. away. Too much zoom can sometimes result in shaky pictures. To counteract that, Panasonic integrated an optical image stabilizer, technology commonly found only on camcorders. Stabilizer or no, it's still a challenge to shoot at great distances.
