Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX2 - Easy Camera Review
If you have a wide-screen television and want pictures and videos that fit it perfectly, the Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX2 may be the camera for you. It has a unique image sensor shaped to the wide-screen format instead of the traditional 4:3-formatted sensor found on most digital cameras. The LX2 comes with an extraordinary 10.2 megapixels, an optically stabilized 4x lens, and, at $499, rubs elbows with some of the most expensive compact cameras.

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ8 Easy Camera Review
The 7.2-megapixel Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ8 fits in between the 6-megapixel FZ7 and the 10.1-megapixel FZ50 in the company’s line of ultra-zoom digital cameras. It comes at a time when the ultra-zoom market is rapidly expanding; point-and-shooters are growing tired of 3x lenses and looking for a camera that is a little more serious. The 7.2-megapixel FZ8 fills that need with its 12x optical zoom lens and image stabilization system.

Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ1 - Easy Camera Review
The Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ1 is among one of the first digital cameras to cram a lot of zoom into a little package. The TZ1 has a 10x optical zoom lens and can still fit into a pocket with its 4.4 x 2.3 x 1.6-inch measurements. With its 5 megapixels and a host of scene modes, the TZ1 is a good fit for point-and-shooters who don’t want to get too close to their subjects.

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX50 - Easy Camera Review
Retailing for around $330, the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX50 is a relatively simple camera that has some distinguishable features like optical image stabilization on the 3.6x zoom lens, a bright 3-inch screen, and the ability to shoot widescreen movies. The digital camera has 7.2 megapixels and keeps its figure slim at just under an inch thick.

Panasonic Lumix DMC-LZ5 Easy Review
The Panasonic Lumix DMC-LZ5 debuted early in 2006 with its 6 megapixels and 6x optical zoom lens in a compact body. What’s better about the lens is that it is optically stabilized, so a little hand shake here or a little earthquake there won’t blur the pictures or ruin the movies. The Lumix DC Vario lens extends an equivalent 37-222 mm, so it isn’t wide enough to comfortably cram a nearby family portrait in the frame.

Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX1 Easy Camera Review


The Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX1 is a compact digital camera with a mix of old and new, paying homage to older classic Leica analog camera bodies with its physical style while providing enthusiasts with a 2.5-inch LCD screen and 16:9 widescreen format for shooting both still images and video clips.  The camera’s non-retractable lens barrel sits above the clean lines of the camera and provides a 4x optical zoom lens replete with an optical image stabilization feature.  The 8-megapixel LX1 can shoot in 4:3 and 3:2 aspect ratios as well as the more unique 16:9.  A number of appreciated manual control options are available in the automatic and scene modes.  The Panasonic LX1 is currently retailing at a rather steep price of $599 and comes with a 32 MB memory card.

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ5 Easy Camera Review

Joining the ultra zoom digital camera movement, the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ5 enters the race as a strong contender thanks to the camera’s impressive 12x optical zoom lens paired with an image stabilization system for crisp images. The FZ5 has 5 megapixels, a drastic improvement upon the earlier FZ3’s 3 megapixels. Also improving upon the FZ3 is the 1.8-inch LCD screen that the FZ5 packs in addition to its electronic viewfinder. This digital camera has a number of manual control options, although it does lack manual focus settings on its long lens.

Panasonic Lumix DMC-LZ2 Easy Camera Review
The Panasonic Lumix DMC-LZ2 gives point-and-shoot compact camera lovers a 5 MP (effective) CCD with a 6x optical zoom lens. Though the lens isn’t by Leica, Panasonic’s usual partner in digital imaging optics, the LZ2 does offer an image stabilization system. It also offers audio recording, though no in-camera speaker means the audio must be exported before it can be heard after capture. Like many point-and-shoots, the DMC-LZ2 has a 2.0” LCD screen and lacks a viewfinder. It lacks good manual controls as well, but considering what it does have for its original retail price for $299.95 (USD), and even less online, this is no surprise.
