Panasonic Lumix FZ150 builds on FZ47 superzoom, adds CMOS sensor, 1080p video
Last month, Panasonic's Lumix FZ47 made some (rather subtle) waves with its full manual video mode, lettering you control aperture and shutter speed while capturing in 1080i. Now, the company just announced its higher-end FZ150, which replaces last year's FZ100, adding 1080p AVCHD capture, a stereo mic with noise cancellation, and a 12 fps burst mode. Image-related improvements include a 12.1 megapixel CMOS sensor, 25-600mm (24x) f/2.8-5.2 Leica lens with nano surface coating, faster autofocus, a new Venus Engine FHD Pro processor, and sensitivity up to ISO 3200. The FZ150 retains its predecessor's 3-inch LCD and 0.2-inch EVF -- both also present on the FZ47. There's also a new side-lever control, letting you adjust zoom and focus with secondary levers positioned just to the left of the lens. Panasonic's latest superzoom cam will ship in late September with a $500 sticker price. PR after the break.

Open-Source Software Winning Mainstream Status in Enterprises
Industry observers have been predicting for years that open-source software will achieve mainstream adoption. Five years ago, open source was in its �nascent stages� and its future �was promising but still unknown,� said Michael Skok, general partner at North Bridge Venture Partners. He presented the fifth annual Future of Open Source Survey at Computerworlds Open Source Business Conference in San Francisco. The latest survey results �clearly demonstrate� that open source �has gone mainstream,� Skok said, as organizations focus on improving �operational excellence around areas such as support, product management, feature functionality and return on investment.� Open source is being implemented across a wide variety of markets and applications. Examples include the Obama administrations selection of the Drupal content-management system for WhiteHouse.gov, Yahoos Hadoop software framework being deployed in data centers to manage big data applications and Apaches software becoming the de facto standard for Web servers. Microsoft even includes Drupal in its Microsoft Web Platform. eWEEK presents some of the slides from Skoks keynote to highlight the major findings of the Future of Open Source Survey. - ...
