One of the main goals of camera manufacturers is to design cameras that not only work well, but also have a sleek appearance.  Panasonic hopes it has achieved this with the LUMIX DMC-FS25, the newest member of the company’s LUMIX FS-Series of digital cameras.

With the new LUMIX DMC-FS25, you’ll be able to take 12.1 megapixel photos while not having to lug around a bulky unattractive camera.  LUMIX DMC-FS25 is more than just a pretty face: it has features like a 5x optical zoom, a 29mm wide-angle lens, and a 3.0-inch LCD screen.  It also has a tracking feature that allows the picture taker to track its subject during movement in order to keep it in focus.  Additionally, the camera has the ability to monitor the lighting in an area and make adjustments as necessary.  You will also get rid of that annoying shutter lag time with the new LUMIX digital camera, Panasonic reports the time to be as little as .006 seconds.

The LUMIX DMC-FS25 has a tentative release date of April 2009 and will come in black, silver or gold styles.  It will retail for a base price of $249.95.
