Panasonic DMCLZ10 Digital Camera – Silver (10.1MP, 5x Optical Zoom) 2.5″ LCD with 30mm wide angle (35 mm equivalent: 30-150mm) 5x optical zoom Leica DC lens with both excellent optical performance and compactness of the lens unit perfectly combined. The camera is substantially refined to look much slimmer and compact compared to the predecessor DMC-LZ7.
New LUMIX cameras not only prevents blurry, out-of-focus photos with one-touch ease, they also automatically select the optimal shooting mode, all thanks to Intelligent Auto Technology.
With LUMIX and Intelligent Auto Technology, it’s easy for anyone to take great photos anytime, anywhere!
Intelligent Auto Technology is bascially the collective name for four detection and optimising functions which work together seemlessly and add up to perfect shots every time
Helpful consumer’s review
This is a great little camera, small enough and light enough to slip in my pocket. Unlike many of its ilk it allows the user some control, with A (Aperture Priority), S (Shutter Priority) and M (manual) in addition to the Scene modes. The fact that it can shoot widescreen video is a plus.
The controls are a little small for those with big hands. As with most cameras at this price point the LCD is difficult to read in bright sunshine. The internal flash unit is also a little underpowered. It is fine for pictures in your living room but not for party pictures in a large hall.
The camera’s menu system is OK except that one or two functions you might use every day are buried too deeply into the menus. The function to format the memory card takes 22 key presses.
The 5x zoom is great. Covering the 30mm to 150mm (35mm equiv) means it can capture a diverse type of subject matter, and its macro mode extends this even more.
The Panasonic DMC-LZ10 is now out of production but there are still some available at a good price. If you decide this is the camera for you then snap it up quickly.
