Editors' Comments

The Panasonic Lumix FS5 is a compact digital with a hefty 10.1-megapixel sensor paired to a 4x optical zoom 30mm wide-angle lens. The camera's real selling point, however, is its ease of use: set it on the iA (Intelligent Auotmatic) Mode and it will automatically make use of Optical Image Stabilization (Mega O.I.S.), Intelligent ISO, Face Detection, and Intelligent Scene Selector to produce balanced, well-exposed shots. Another handy feature is the "Intelligent" 2.5-inch LCD screen, which detects and adapts to changing environmental conditions to produce bright, easily visible images in all lighting situations.

I like this camera (Cindy Thompson - 5/29/08)

I haven't been able to figure out all of the tricks of this camera but I do know that it takes fantastic pictures. Better than any comparable camera I have owned. Including the Kodak easy share, nikon coolpix and a cannon I had 3 years ago.
This camera has a lot of bells and whistles and will take some time for me to get to know it. so far so good.
