Covering the economic and industrial might of Japan

Matsushita Electric Co. has a new toy for camera buffs and otherwise.

It's new DMC-FZ30 will be the thinnest camera on the market to come with a 28mm wide-angle lens

The camera will have a motion capture function when filming moving objects.

It has a 7.2 megapixel imaging censor and features a 5.3x zoom lens.

And, you can stick it in your wallet...well, not quite.

The cost will be about 40,000 yen and Matsushita hopes to sell about 60,000 of them monthly!

My Japanese friends consistently tell me 'Smaller is best.'  But, when is small too small?

What do you think?
