Panasonic Lumix DMC-FS5 Digital Camera

[PMA 2008] Panasonic’s DMC-FS20 digital camera is joined at launch with the stylish DMC-FS5, bringing a 30mm wide-angle Leica DC lens with 4x optical zoom to the table. Most of the specifications are pretty much the same with the FS20, and if you don’t mind a smaller LCD display (which translates to longer battery life IMHO), then the FS5 sounds like the better option. Still, different strokes for different folks, so check out the specifications below before making a head/heart decision where your credit card is concerned.

• 2.5″ LCD display with automatic brightness control
• 50MB internal memory
• 10.1 megapixel count
• Intelligent Exposure
• MEGA O.I.S.
• Intelligent ISO
• Intelligent Scene Selector
• Face Detection
• Quick AF

Panasonic has priced the Lumix DMC-FS5 at $249.95 when it is available in February. You can choose from red, black and silver models.
