Amazon.com Product Description
Incorporating a Leica 3x optical zoom lens and a 4-megapixel resolution, the Panasonic DMC-LC70 offers professional optics in a classically styled camera at an affordable price. The DMC-LC70 also features several automated scene modes and video capture with sound. It is considerably more compact and 2 ounces lighter than its predecessor, the Lumix DMC-LC43.

Optics and Resolution
The DMC-LC70 captures 4-megapixel images up to 2304 x 1728 pixels for poster-size print enlargements. Other resolution modes include 1600 x 1200, 1280 x 960, and 640 x 480. The 3x optical zoom is joined by a 3x digital zoom for a 9x total zoom.

Like all Panasonic Lumix digital cameras, the DMC-LC70 is equipped with a lens made by Leica, manufacturer of precision optical technologies. The top compact lens in the world-renowned Leica family, the DC Vario-Elmarit lens combines comfortably small size with superb image rendering. Its features include:

Movie Mode
In addition to taking still photos, the DMC-LC70 can also record 320 x 240 movie clips at 10 frames per second with audio. Your video length is limited only by the size of your memory card.

More Features
The Mega Burst Imaging function allows you to take consecutive pictures at an incredible quick rate, making it perfect for capturing fast-moving objects in high resolution. The DMC-LC70 captures up to 8 consecutive images in standard mode (at either 3.5 or 2 frames per second) or 5 images in fine mode. You can then view your shots on the camera's LCD screen to choose the shot you want and delete the rest.

The Lumix DMC-LC70 features a Mode Dial that gives you a variety of settings to choose from to help give you the best shot possible based on your shooting environment. Modes include simple, normal picture, economy, macro, portrait, landscape, night portrait, and moving image.

The Venus Engine LSI generates the luminance signal of the primary color CCD using all three colors (red, green, blue) for improved diagonal image resolution, compared to conventional CCDs that use only one color (green) to do so, resulting in rich, expressive images. This LSI also handles image processing, LCD functions, and writing to the memory card concurrently, for an overall quick camera response.

Other features include:

Storage and Transfer
Images can be stored on the included 16 MB Secure Digital memory card; the DMC-LC70 is also compatible with MultiMedia (MMC) cards. Images can be downloaded to either a Mac or PC via ultra-fast USB 1.1, which means it can be connected to any USB-compatible Windows Me/2000/XP and Mac OS 8.6 or later computer without installing any software.

Power and Size
The camera is powered by 2 AA batteries (alkalines included, rechargeable NiMH batteries recommended). Using alkaline batteries, you should expect the battery to capture approximately 200 shots with the LCD on. It measures 3.44 by 2.57 by 1.39 inches (W x H x D) and weighs 5.6 ounces (excluding batteries).

What's in the Box
This package includes the Lumix DMC-LC70 digital camera, 16 MB Secure Digital card, 2 AA batteries, USB and A/V cables, and strap. The CD-ROM includes SD Viewer for DSC and Ulead Photo Explorer software.

4 out of 5 stars Compact but a bit grainy.......2006-12-10

This has been a good travel/weekend camera. The pictures are a bit grainy compared to my 6 MP camera, but it's good for the price. It does have a neat "digital camera for dummies" setting that's very user friendly and great for those who are new to the digital camera world.

5 out of 5 stars This has been a great first digital camera.........2005-04-23

I am having a ball with this camera.. The first time I used it, I was on vacation and with the 256 mb memory card I bought for it, I could have taken hundreds of pictures.. The camera is easy to use, and with the printer I have (Epson Photo RX600) I put the memory card straight from the camera into the printer and I have my pictures... I've printed out small wallets, 4x6, 5x7 and 8x10 and all are crisp, clear, vibrant and of expert quality.

The camera also takes mpegs so I used it to capture my granddaughter during a dance performance... It took a really good little movie with clear sound that my family will treasure forever..

Although the camera says to use only Panasonic batteries, I've found that any brand of good quality alkaline batteries work just as well and last just as long or longer than the Panasonic batteries that came with the camera did.

I still haven't used all the features associated with this camera, but it's so easy and convenient to keep it with me to capture whatever moment I happen upon. Others have said the delay from one picture to the next can make you miss a shot, and that's the only drawback I've seen so far. Still I rate it five stars because for the price, quality, and ease of use I think it's beyond excellent!

4 out of 5 stars Panasonic Lumix DMC-LC70.......2005-02-27

This is not a bad camera at all. The only problem we have with it is that once you push the button to take the picture it takes too long for the camera to actually take the picture. We have kids and when we want to take a picture we want the picture when we push the button because otherwise you miss the action. It has a lot of great features but it didn't work for us. Like I said before, it is a great camera which is why I gave it a four star review.

5 out of 5 stars LOVE this camera!.......2004-08-27

Compact size, 4MP, fast start up, and intuitive controls. Lots of different options to play around with that I'm still learning. Pictures can be downloaded to any computer without any software. Picture quality is excellent and the price is right. I purchased mine on Broadway Photo (bwayphoto.com) which is cheaper than amazon, $229, but they have high shipping fees and they are slow. Took them 5 days just to process the order. LCD screen could have been a little bigger, but I think this camera gives you the biggest bang for your buck!

5 out of 5 stars Don;t just fall for Canon, check this out !!!!!!!!!!!!.......2004-08-04

See my detailed review for DMC-LC50...same should apply here.

Panasonic dig cameras produce very sharp images. The lens is the best even compared to Canon.

You won;t regret buying this
