Panasonic Lumix DMC-LS70S
Panasonic Lumix DMC-LS70S Review:
I bought this as a second camera. For travel, I use a digital with a 10X zoom. It’s great for trips, but it’s a bit bulky, for family gatherings or formal events. So I wanted a pocket sized camera, but since it is my second, I did not want to spend a lot. I looked around in stores and on line and quickly settled on this model. Panasonic Lumix DMC-LS70S is nice and small and has all of the features I need. A 3X zoom is fine for the events I mentioned and at 7.2MP, the picture quality is excellent. It is also the only camera I found in this price range that had anti-shake technology.
Panasonic Lumix DMC-LS70S has many options for flash, as well as a variety of shooting modes. There are thinner cameras on the market, but at about 1.2 inches, it’s still nice, small and lightweight. It also used AA batteries. I will only buy cameras that take AA’s, because you can get them anywhere, if you run out. It has a couple of negatives. There is no sound in video mode. This is of no importance to me, but should be mentioned for other buyers. There is a nice LCD screen but no viewfinder. I’m an old photographer who is used to a viewfinder, so this takes getting used to. On the whole it’s a great camera that suits my needs well.
Panasonic Lumix DMC-LS70S Review: Just small enough to fit in your pocket but still large & heavy enough to give you a solid comfortable feel. Easy to use great picture right out of the box. Excellent value comparing price to quality of picture. Panasonic Lumix DMC-LS70S will be hard to find a better camera for a beginner or novice experence person looking for a digital camera. Haven’t even tried any advaced feature of camera yet. Try it you’ll like it.

DMC-LS70S Description: The Panasonic Lumix DMC-LS70S is equipped with a bright 3x optical zoom lens (equivalent to a 35mm-105mm zoom on a 35mm film camera) that captures beautiful shots of people and landscapes. use the Extra Optical Zoom when you want to pull the subject in just a little closer. Panasonic Lumix DMC-LS70S extends the 3x optical zoom ratio to 4.5x (35mm equivalent: 157mm) at resolutions of 3 megapixels or less, by using the central part of the CCD.The DMCLS70 helps you get clear shots every time. Panasonic invented the MEGA O.I.S. (Optical Image Stabilizer) system to fight against hand-shake, the major cause of blurry images.
Additionally, the Intelligent ISO Control function, made possible by the Venus Engine III, detects subject movement and adjusts the ISO setting and shutter speed to best suit the movement and light conditions automatically. The 2.0-inch LCD screen on the Panasonic Lumix DMC-LS70S has a total of 86,000 pixels. The difference is easy to see, with much greater clarity, both when shooting and during playback. Versatile Scene Modes are a great LUMIX feature. And the Scene Mode list display makes them even easier to select. You can choose from a total of 18 situations, including the new Sunset and Pet modes, for settings that match your subject.
Panasonic Lumix DMC-LS70S Description: I was looking for a cheap digital camera with high mega pixels to take climbing. That way if it falls off the cliff, I dont have to care so much. I looked and read reviews on cameras for 3 hours before I picked out this one. I knew it didnt have sound for recording, but I didnt want sound. Easier to put music over it later. I got it because it takes great night shots. And boy does it, just adjust the iso setting yourself and you can get some great night shots. The pictures it takes are very clear and crisp. I got it also for the hand stabilizer because my climbing partner has very shaky hands. So the pictures will come out clearer when he uses it. There is a great option of scene selection. Just choice your situation and it sets up the camera for you. I used the sports setting to takes some pics of my cat running around and a fish swimming. It caught them without blur, nice and cleanly. There is only one small flaw. The camera image resets after taking a pic with the flash. But with only 2 batteries to run the camera, it makes sense. So when the flash recharges, you have no display. Only takes about 2 secs and the display is back. Doesn’t effect much.
Panasonic Lumix DMC-LS70S Description: Panasonic Lumix DMC-LS70S camera is amazing! I am a beginner with digital cameras and this one is very easy to operate because it does everything for you. I am impressed by the Intellegent ISO mode that adjusts everything for me and I also have Normal mode that lets me make adjustments through the menu which is also easy to navigate through. I consider myself technologically challenged and I was able to take GREAT pictures with the camera without reading the directions first. Now that’s a fantastic camera!
Panasonic Lumix DMC-LS70S Description: I bought Panasonic Lumix DMC-LS70S
camera on the good reviews of others posted on Amazon. I LOVE THIS CAMERA! I do have a large very expensive digital sony with the large lense and needed a quality camera that was easy to use, and more practical to carry around. I have absolutely no regrets! The image stabilizer is really awesome. Not all those fuzzy shots I see others get with their digitals. The pictures develope beautifully.
Panasonic Lumix DMC-LS70S Description: I wanted a small point and shoot camera for taking pictures while we are out and about. Tired of lugging a big heavy camera. I also wanted to get a good price. Panasonic Lumix DMC-LS70S camera is great for the price and small and light enough. The only problem is that it’s not an easy point and shoot. You have to put it on the right setting to get a decent picture and change the settings frequently based on what your photographing. Settings are not as simple as setting the dial either. But once you get a hang of it, it’s not so bad. It downloads pics easily and has a decent battery life. It wasn’t the perfect camera for me but it is a very good camera.
