Panasonic adds DMC-FS62 to its compact digital camera range
Panasonic has announced a new addition to its Lumix FS Series of compact digital cameras, with the introduction of the DMC-FS62.
Most of the features you’d expect on a compact are here — 10.1-megapixel, 2.5-inch LCD, face detection (up to 15 in each shot), scene selection, image stabilisation and movie mode (up to 848 x 480 WVGA resolution).
The camera has a F2.8 Leica DC VARIO-ELMARIT lens which offers 4x optical zoom – not spectacular even for a compact but acceptable – though it can be extended up o 7.1x by using the Extra Optical Zoom function, though you’re then limited to just 3-megapixel shots.
It also comes bundled with PHOTOfunSTUDIO 3.0 which offers a range of photo manipulation tools as well as slideshow, YouTube upload and such like.
Available from next month in silver, black, blue, red and pink body colours, with pricing to be confirmed.
