Pink Panasonic Lumix camera - take photos like a pro

pink-lumix-camera-cropped.jpg

The new pink and silver Panasonic Lumix DMC FS20P is a 10 megapixel digital camera with 30mm wide-angle lens, 4x optical zoom, Intelligent Auto Mode and 3.0" Diagonal Intelligent LCD - which translated, means it's easy to use, has a huge screen, great resolution, and handy features to quarantee a great photo. As a camera is only as good as it's lens, this is covered by a Leica, one of the best makers of lenses.

The iA mode (basically, automatic) lets the four Intelligent Auto functions team up to help prevent shooting errors. Intelligent Scene Selector chooses the mode that best fits the situation; MEGA Optical Image Stabilization (O.I.S.) helps prevent blurring from hand-shake; Intelligent ISO Control helps prevent motion blur; and Face Detection helps produce clear portraits by optimizing the focus and exposure settings. Unless you're a pro, you're going to use this feature all the time. In the short time I've been using it, my photos have improved considerably (and of course, I took all the credit).

And that big 3.0" LCD I was telling you about? It adjusts automatically in 10 steps as ambient light conditions change, so images are clear, bright and easy to see day or night, indoors or outdoors.

There aren't many things that annoy me about writing about technology for a living. Having permission to ring the founder of Postsecret and ask him about his vision for the site? Not horrendous. Being offered new gadgets to trial...
