Panasonic Lumix DMC-LZ8K
Panasonic Lumix DMC-LZ8K Review: Ex
cellent little camera. I have a Nikon D80 and D70 I use for the really professional shots, but this little pocket camera is always ready, not cumbersome and shoots some shots that rival the Nikons in quality. Would recommend to anyone wanting a light, always ready, good shooting camera that you can take with you all the time.
Panasonic Lumix DMC-LZ8K Review: This is a terrific camera! It is so easy to use and the instructions are very easy to follow. I love it! The only negative comment I have is that the AA batteries wear down very quickly even with the camera turned off. It is best to get rechargable batteries or take them out of the camera when you aren’t using it.
Panasonic Lumix DMC-LZ8K Description: With both a 32mm wide-angle Leica DC Vario-Elmar lens and a 5x zoom, this is one camera that does it all. You can fit more in the photo than you can with a 35mm lens, so you can get more of a sweeping landscape in a single shot. The 5x zoom is great for capturing dramatic shots of small or distant subjects. There’s also an Extra Optical Zoom function that boosts zoom power to 8.9x in 3-megapixel resolution mode.
The DMC-LZ8 Lumix digital camera gives you a choice of four exposure modes: Program AE (P), Aperture Priority AE (A), Shutter Priority AE (S) and Manual (M). This gives you the flexibility and creative freedom to capture more expressive shots. You can also fine tune the settings in the Scenery, Portrait, Sports and Night Portrait scene modes on the mode dial to better suit the shooting conditions. This makes it easier to capture the exact image you have in mind.
Simply set the LZ8 to iA mode and let the camera do the rest. Intelligent Scene Selector chooses the mode that best fits the situation; MEGA Optical Image Stabilization (O.I.S.) helps prevent blurring from hand-shake; Intelligent ISO Control helps prevent motion blur; and Face Detection helps produce clear portraits by optimizing the focus and exposure settings. You can easily change settings such as auto focus, light metering, white balance, ISO sensitivity, image size, image quality and so on.
There’s no need to switch to the menu screen. The brightness and contrast of the large 2.5″ diagonal LCD adjust automatically in 10 steps as ambient light conditions change, so images are clear, bright and easy to see day or night, indoors or outdoors.
Panasonic Lumix DMC-LZ8K Review: Camera works very well. Has a nice point and shoot feature for anyone not into all the details of photography. Extended zoom works very well. Has a lot of other options for someone more into photography. Easy to start using and easy to transfer pictures to a computer.
Panasonic Lumix DMC-LZ8K Review: I am happily using a Lumix FZ30 but wanted a pocket camera with as much zoom as I could get for a reasonable price. I looked at a lot of different cameras but the 5X zoom with image stabilization was a major selling point. Then I was pleasantly surprised to discover all the other capabilities built into this camera and am more pleased than I could have expected. The size is perfect for me; taking photos with even smaller cameras, as good as many of them are, always makes me worry about dropping them.
Panasonic Lumix DMC-LZ8K Review: I love this camera. It has many cool features which i’m still learning about. For example, the indoor outdoor night time portrait feature. As well as scenery which has nature, architecture. Sports for fast moving action. Scene mode which also has self portrait, sunset, beach, high sens, pet, baby, fireworks, starry sky, snow, aerial photo and etc. The camera takes great pictures. It met all of my criteria for a camera. So much better then the last one I had which was a kodak easyshare. I am very pleased with the performance.
