With plenty of brilliant features & a slim, stylish design, the Panasonic DMCFS50EBK is the perfect compact camera for anyone. Its 16.1MP sensor can produce some of the sharpest, most vibrant images possible from a camera. While an ultra-wide angle 24mm LUMIX lens captures more detail in a limited focus shot than many other cameras in its class. 5x optical zoom will get you closer to your subject than ever before, however, if this isnt enough then an intelligent 8x zoom will reach even further without drastically reducing the picture quality. The FS50 also records in 1280 x 720p HD quality, recording with just the press of a button & allowing you to change between stills & video instantly.
