Product Description

Enjoy picture picture-perfection and a stylish design in this compact, powerful Lumix digital camera. Panasonic digital cameras help solve the problem of blurry images caused by unsteady hands, with advanced MEGA Optical Image Stabilizer (OIS) technology. A built-in gyrosensor detects any hand movement and relays a signal to a tiny microcomputer inside the camera, which instantly calculates the compensation needed. In a dark setting or when the subject is moving, shooting at a faster shutter speed is required for truly great results. That's why this digital camera offers a High Sensitivity Mode. When combined with OIS, this remarkable shooting mode allows you to shoot at up to ISO1600. And that means stop-action clarity in nearly any situation. Lumix DC Vario Lens - 8 elements in 7 groups (2 Aspherical lenses / 3 Aspherical surfaces ) LCD Monitor - 2.5 inch Diagonal Polycrystalline TFT LCD display (85k pixels) Recording Media - 14MB Built-in Memory, SD Memory Card, MMC Multimedia Card Included Accessories - Two AA Oxyride batteries, A/V & USB cables, strap Dimensions (WxHxD) - 3.94 x 2.44 x 1.77 inches

very capable camera.......2007-06-13

I mainly chose to buy this camera for the 6x optical zoom- I do a lot of hiking in Yosemite and near my home in the French alps and wanted to take close-up pictures of the beautiful scenery. The camera has proved to be a great investment.

This camera is much better than any other camera I've used in the price range. The image stabilization works well, and it captures great pictures of my active kids. It has many features I haven't learned to use- they may be useful, but the camera simply takes great photos on the basic settings, so it's a good choice for beginners who want a camera that works easily, but that also has more complicated options for better pictures as the user improves. The only trade-off is the size- the camera is a bit large and clunky compared to the sleek new cameras I've used, but it's really worth it if you can spare the space- there's a lot packed into the camera. I own this and the DMC-LZ5 silver version and they are both perfect for pictures and video- I highly recommend this camera!

EXCELLENT CAMERA, BUT DON'T BUY.......2007-04-29

look for the "Panasonic Lumix DMC-LZ7K 7.2MP Digital Camera with 6x Image Stabilized Zoom (Black)", you can get it for less price and it is obviously better!

Excellent camera, terrible warranty.......2007-04-26

I bought this camera 10 months ago from Amazon. It was my 4th digital in seven years, and definitely my favorite one. The size is just perfect to carry around, and the 6X optical zoom with image stabilization is hard to beat. At the time, I struggled between this model and the Canon counterpart, but at the end, I was really happy with my decision. I actually stopped using my video camera, storing movies in my 4 2GB SD cards.

One week ago, the flash stopped working. I thought to myself "no problem, the one year warranty will cover it". Well, guess what, the warranty only covers parts, and the labor flat-fee from Panasonic is $170.00 USD. I can buy a new one on Amazon for $20.00 USD more! I wrote to Panasonic, but didn't get a satisfactory response from them.

I am switching now to the Canon Powershot A570 IS, which supports image stabilization, and 7 Megapixel pictures. Their warranty covers EVERYTHING for one whole year, so at least I feel safer buying their product. The price is a little bit higher than this model, but totally worth it.

Something to keep in mind if you are considering to buy this model.

WONDERFUL Camera!!!.......2007-03-25

This camera is GREAT! It does everything that I could ever want it to do. Its got all kinds of fun features so that I can take any kind of picture I want to take, but even if you go on a vacation and ask a complete stranger to take a picture for you, it has a simple mode so it becomes a point and click camera. The only kind of pictures that I have had any trouble taking were sport pictures at night, which of course would be difficult due to the lack of light and increased shutter speed. I just lightened them up once I was able to get them onto a computer. Great camera for a wonderful price! I absolutely LOVE it!!

Great Cam.......2007-03-11

This camera is great. Got it in the mail the other day and now cant stop taking photos. The photos are very clear, and the optical zoom is great. Way better then the previous Kodak we had.
