Panasonic unveiled the compact Lumix FX150 with a large 14.7MP resolution today. The FX150 competes directly with the recently announced Samsung NV100 HD.

All new Lumix cameras can take 1920 x 1080 pixel HD (high-definition) quality photos that perfectly fit a wide-screen (16:9) HDTV for full-screen viewing. The new DMC-FX150 even records dynamic HD motion pictures in 1280 x 720p at a smooth 24 fps, in addition to WVGA (848 x 480) and normal VGA (640 x 480).

Other features of the FX150 include up to ISO 6400 sensitivity, 3.6x optical zoom, 4x digital zoom, LEICA DC VARIO-ELMARIT lens, MEGA O.I.S. image stabilizer, and 2.7 inch screen.

Measurements of the Lumix FX150 are 96.7 x 54.0 x 24.8 mm.
The FX150 will be available in silver, black or gold finish. There is no pricing and shipping information for the FX150 available yet.
