Panasonic DMC-LS80S
Panasonic DMC-LS80S Reviews: This camera is a nice size and very easy to operate. The photos come out great and it’s very easy to play back your shots and delete ones you don’t want to keep. The bad points are that it tends to be a little slow between shots and can not be recharged on its own. Also, the internal memory is very limited so be sure to purchase a memory card.
Panasonic DMC-LS80S Reviews: I researched and found this camera for my wife. She is not technologically oriented so I needed one that was simple yet took excellent pictures. This is it. So many features and the automatic settings are so intelligent. It is must have with image stabilization. Now, no pictures get blurred. It also has regular batteries that I replaced with rechargeable ones. She was thrilled at receiving it and the ease of using it. Panasonic did a great job. I bought a more advanced model for myself. My Lumix DMC-TZ3 model is great also.
Panasonic DMC-LS80S Description: Simply set the DMC-LS80 to Intelligent Mode and it’s easy to get clear, beautiful images every time you shoot. MEGA Optical Image stabilization (O.I.S.) will automatically detect and compensate for hand shake, while Intelligent ISO Control helps prevent motion blur by sensing subject movement and adjusting the ISO setting and shutter speed accordingly. Get perfect close-ups, too, with the camera’s Macro mode, which automatically switches on when you bring the Lens in close to a subject.
A high-image-quality CCD with 8.1 effective megapixels combines with a 3x Optical zoom lens to help you capture beautiful images in all kinds of shooting situations. The Easy Zoom button instantly extends the optical zoom and Extra Optical Zoom to full telescopic position. The 2.5″ diagonal LCD makes viewing and shooting easier and more comfortable. Intelligent LCD functions include Auto Power LCD for increased backlight brightness in the sun and Bright Live View, which automatically increases the brightness of live images according to the level of ambient darkness. This allows bright, easy framing of scenes that would normally be too dark to see on the LCD screen. Box Contents: Panasonic DMC-LS80S Lumix 8.1 Digital Camera, AV & USB Cables, Strap, CD-ROM.
