The Pros:Wide angle lens is great for landscapes. Accepts relatively cheap, widely available and high capacity SD/SDHC cards. Optical image stabilization.
The Cons:Poor LCD resolution and standard features for a $350 camera. No Panorama mode. Basic point and shoot.
The Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX37 is one of the newest of Panasonic's wave of Lumix camera releases for 2008. The wide-angle Leica lens covers a 25-150mm range, making it one of the widest angle compact digital cameras available and may appeal to landscape photographers.
