The Product Review of Panasonic Lumix Dmc-zs8

By Kailyn E. Donaghe


The Panasonic Lumix ZS8 is definitely a pocket friendly camera. It has a 14.1 megapixel sensor and utilizes a Leica branded 16x optical zoom lens, which makes it an outstanding daily camera. It definitely can be considered a "long" pocket zoom camera. It comes with a 3.0 inch LCD with a 320 x 240 resolution. The body of the ZS8 is very similar to previous Panasonic models, and that is a good thing. The camera doesn't have any digital or optical viewfinder which means the LCD must be used for framing shots.

The Panasonic Lumix ZS8 Selector dial has ten other options, but they're broken into many sub groups. The conventional PASM modes give extra manual control for the camera, also a Custom mode enables you to save and set custom settings. There's a useful mode called i.Auto, which lets the camera select the right scene instantly. The Panasonic Lumix ZS8 has a good number of different scene modes, plus two favorites to save your to most frequently used modes.

The battery of this camera has a great life; it can give 340 shots per charge. It utilizes a proprietary lithium ion battery which has a battery ID system.

Moreover, the camera can capture high quality jpeg images and also movies with great stereo sound at 1280x720 which is definitely impressive. You should observe that the camera uses Quicktime Motion JPEG Compression for videos. We truly liked the fact that this optical zoom can also be used while filming videos.

The Panasonic Lumix ZS8 camera comes with these particular items: * The Panasonic ZS8 camera * Battery Charger * Battery Pack * AV Cable * USB Cable * Hand Strap * CD-ROM

The Lumix ZS8 is surely an inexpensive long zoom camera in a very compact package. It's got a number of manual controls that's great for a basic level camera. This would definitely be a good purchase for anyone looking for a compact camera for daily use.
