Panasonic Lumix FS3
The Lumix FS3 (8 megapixels) and Lumix FS5 (10 megapixels) are two small point-and-shoot cameras from Panasonic. Both cameras pack the latest Venus Engine 4 processor, optical image stabilization, 2.5 inch LCDs, good battery life and many scene modes. ...
Stylish and good build quality (metal tripod mount is rare!) ; Optical image stabilization ; Very good battery life ; Fairly powerful flashes for cameras this size (Especially FS3) ; Above average camera performance ; Very good LCD visibility ; Plenty ...

Panasonic LUMIX DMC-FS3
I took this camera driven by good reviews I read, but I was disappointed. In bright light images are very good and sharp, but as soon as the light is low or there are shadows, this camera show its weaknesses. - Battery life is very long (impressive). -...
