Superslim cameras, such as Casio's Exilim EX-Z75 or Sony's Cyber-shot DSC-T20 get a lot of attention on morning TV shows and in slick print magazines, but some people find their ultracompact bodies difficult to use. For those people, a camera with a bit more to hold on to makes more sense. Panasonic's Lumix DMC-FX100 is a perfect example. It also happens to be their entry into this year's 12-megapixel compact camera derby, joining the likes of Sony's Cyber-shot DMC-W200 and Casio's Exilim EX-Z1200. This Panasonic distinguishes itself from those other two by including a zoom lens with a wider wide-angle setting--28mm (equivalent) instead of 36mm or 37mm. While it doesn't look as impressive as a larger telephoto zoom number, it'll be more useful when you're out shooting with your back to the wall.
