The most important gadget you need (this week)
Panasonic LUMIX DMC-FX500 ($399.95)
Few digital cameras satisfy both serious shutterbugs and novice photographers alike, but this 10.1 megapixel camera from Panasonic should get everyone ready to say cheese. The LUMIX DMC-FX500 features a 25mm ultra-wide-angle Leica DC lens with 5x optical zoom, as well as a 3-inch touch screen to let you preview your photos as soon as you take them. This pocket size camera can also be used as a movie camera capable of taking 720p (1,280x720 resolution) video at 30fps. And with the optical image stabilization, red-eye correction, face detection and auto focus tracking this camera will make sure your subjects are ready for their close up.
