Pansonic Lumix DMC-FP8 Review

The Panasonic DMC-FP8 is a 12.1 megapixel digital camera that offers a 4.6x power optical zoom lens and 2.7inch LCD display.

With a sleek black and silver design, this little panasonic is one of the more attractive digital cameras I have seen and offers advanced features such as high speed autofocus, and high speed start up times of  less than 1 second means this digital camera is ready to shoot constantly and yet will easily fit in your pocket or purse.

The 12.1 megapixels are more than enough resolution to fit into a pocket or purse, and use of the second generation image stabilization system built in means that shaky photos from pressing the shutter button or even just due to low light situations  arew now a thing of the past with this digital camera from panasonic.

The pocket sized FP-8 also features an advanced auto mode called iA mode which allows the camera to take over and make all the settings such as aperture, shutter speed  and ISO selection and white balance automatically. Another feature that helps is that the buttons on the digtal camera are lit, so shooting in the dark when  lighting conditions are less than optimal won’t be a problem with this camera

HD video  recording is also a standard feature and allows you to record high definition video up to 1280x720p at 30 frames per second.

Twenty-seven different scene modes allow for further customization and guidance when setting and selecting the proper scene for  shooting with  your digital camera from Panasonic.  Common scenes modes such as portrait, macro, sports, and landscape photography are just  a few of the digital camera setting this little panasonic offers.

Software included with this portable panasonic include Photo Fun Studio 4.0 that allows you to  edit view and archive your photos on your notebook or desktop computer.

Combine the sharp looks, small size, and robust feature set of this small and compact digital camera and you have a great little camera that looks good with leica optics and 4.6 zoom ratio with fast startup and shooting times that offer up to 2.3 frames per second.

The Panasonic DMC FP8 is currently on sale at Amazon for $169.95 which is a discount of 43 percent off the regular $299 retail price. With this discount, it’s easy to see that this panasonic is a popular choice for a small and compact digital camera.
