Today, Panasonic USA revealed a new line of compact Lumix cameras - DMC-FX66, DMC-FT2, DMC-ZS5, DMC-ZS7 and DMC-ZR3. The DMC-FT2 is called the TS2 in North America. These new cameras feature the new Venus Engine VI and Venus Engine HD II. The Venus Engines supposedly perform quicker and allow for greater noise reduction.

Leica's cameras are an investment, and one that many of us simply can't afford. One man is hoping to harness the power of viral internet sympathy  and raise over $10,000 for the Leica of his dreams.
