Panasonic Lumix DMC-LZ3S 5MP Digital Camera with 6x Image Stabilized Zoom




Your son takes his first step, or your daughter takes her encore bow at her first recital. Luckily, you were ready with your digital camera and caught this historic moment. But wait! The photo you took is blurry. In your excitement, you accidentally shook the camera just as you snapped the shutter. If this has ever happened to you--and you are by no means alone!--then you'll want to take a close look at the Panasonic Lumix DMC-LZ3 5-megapixel digital camera with 6x image-stabilized optical zoom.

I purchased one last year and thought it was great, then this past May 2007, I purchased 2 more. One broke just outside of the 90 day labor warranty and Panasonic wants $95 flat fee to fix it, of course that doesn't include parts since that is still under warranty. The original one, which is now about 18 months old will only take indoor pictures. For some reason, as soon as you try to take an outside one, the camera goes black. The indoor pictures have lines all throughout the picutes. This one is out of warranty all together. The only one left is one of the two purchased in May. If I were able to get a refund I would. The picture quality on this camera is getting terrible. No matter what setting I have it on, they pictures look great on the computer, but if I get them printed out, or I print them out, they are grainy. Do not waste your money on this camera!!! I would never buy a Pansonic again!

Panasonic DMW-MCTZ3 Marine Case for Panasonic TZ3 Digital Cameras




With the Panasonic DMW-MCTZ3 waterproof case for the Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ2 & DMC-TZ3 Digital Cameras, you can use your digital camera to take underwater photos at depths of up to 130 feet (40 m). A diffuser for the camera's flash is built onto the housing to help when using the camera's internal flash. For even better results underwater, use the internal flash to trigger a slaved external strobe like those made by Fantasea, Sea & Sea, Ikelite, Sunpak or Sealife. The camera has an underwater mode setting for available light photography. Weight - 14.3 ounces (430 grams) without camera

This is one of the few underwater housing for lumix cameras and fits to tz2 and tz3 only. The construction looks really tough and strong but this is my first underwater housing so I cannot compare it to other housings. Until now I used it for 4 dives and I should confirm it is water proof :) , I was satisfied. But once I left the camera under sunligth for 15 minutes before a dive and when I get into the cold water, I noticed the fog formation on the inner surface of the housing. But this was completely my fault and in the manual this was mentioned as a "not to do". After 15 minutes it was over. The camera TZ3 itself is a very good choice for amateur underwater photography since it has:

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FS20K 10MP Digital Camera with 4x Wide Angle MEGA Optical Image Stabilized Zoom (Black)




Simply set the 10.1-megapixel DMC-FS20 to iA mode and let 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. The 30mm wide-angle Leica DC Vario-Elmar lens with 4x optical zoom takes wider shots than an ordinary 35mm lens. This is helpful in small rooms or crowded places, for example, letting you fit more people into a group photo. There's also an Easy Zoom button on the camera top - just press it, and the optical zoom and Extra Optical Zoom instantly extend to full telescopic position.

The Panasonic DMC-FS20 combines easy operation with a slim and sleek look, enabling both beginner and advanced users to take beautiful digital photos with a camera they can slip in their pocket. Featuring 10-megapixel resolution and a 30mm wide-angle Leica DC lens with 4x optical zoom, the FS20 also has Intelligent Auto Mode, an advanced intuitive system of technologies that help users take better photos more easily.

Panasonic DMW-FL28 External Flash for Panasonic DSLR, FZ30 and FZ50




Panasonic's vision of the digital future is driven by the needs and aspirations of its business customers and millions of consumers around the world who use its products every day. The company shares their dream to live a fuller life by providing ways of working smarter and enjoying the rewards of technological advances.

The Panasonic DMW-FL28 extends the flash power capability of compatible Panasonic Lumix digital cameras. It clips easily onto camera hot shoe and reduces red eye from your pictures. You can use it with Panasonic DMC-LC5, DMC-FZ10, DMC-FZ20, DMC-LC1, and Leica Digilux cameras.

I have a DMC-FZ10 and have found that the built in flash is OK at close range provided there is not too much reflection but poor for larger group shots where you are further back. This flash is much more powerfull (up to 10m range) and fully automatic setting itself to the default apperture and shutter speed that the camera does, as soon as it detects the flash is mounted on the camera. It can also be used as a slave flash, when not mounted on the camera itself, triggered by the camera's integral flash. It also has a macro mode for close-ups. It seems to work well based on a few test shots I have done.

Panasonic HDC-DX1 AVCHD 3CCD High Definition DVD Camcorder with 12x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom




Capture beautiful high definition images with the HDCDX1 camcorder. It's loaded with the latest technology to produce truly stunning video and still images. The Leica Dicomar lens featured on the HDCDX1 was developed specifically for HD digital camcorders. This lens system is made using a multi-coating process that prevents light reflection and glare, which can make colors bleed and images appear washed out. It also prevents rings of light, or "ghosts". The HDCDX1 uses a 3CCD camera system, which is the same technology most professional broadcasting cameras use. In a 1 CCD system, all the incoming light is processed by the same CCD. The more advanced 3CCD system uses three distinct CCDs for processing, so there is absolutely no light loss. You can see the results in beautifully rendered images with vivid color, fine detail, and rich gradation. An HD Advanced Pure Color Engine is a special image processing circuit for the 3CCD HD camcorder. Able to process large amounts of data with high speed and precision, this engine achieves truly superb color reproduction for high-quality pictures.The HDCDX1 can record and play DVD-RAM, DVD-RW, DVD-R DL (Dual Layer), DVD-R discs and SD/SDHC Memory Card.

You really have to be in the Blue-Ray camp to enjoy this camera fully. If you have a Sony Play Station 3 you're set for playback and the future with Blue-Ray for High Definition movies. Otherwise you will need a Blue-Ray player for playback of the miniDVDs and any other regular DVDs you record to. Also, so far it's one of the last camcorders from Panasonic with 5.1 sound and High Definition recording, which is a big plus for sound. It's seems the newer camcorders are actually going backwards with 2 channel sound instead of 5.1. With Nero 8, which you'll have to buy separately, you can copy movies to your computer for editing and burning back on to a larger size regular recordable DVD, i.e., DVD-R, DVD+R, DVD+-RW or DL disks (they don't have to be Blue-Ray recordable DVDs). The camcorder records Blue-Ray format to regular DVDs.

Panasonic Lumix DMC-LZ2 5MP Digital Camera with 6x Image Stabilized Optical Zoom (Silver)




Panasonic's DMC-LZ2 Lumix Digital Camera delivers sharper, better photographs with just a touch. The 2.0" diagonal LCD uses a TRM design to suppress reflections, allowing you to see more clearly - even outdoors. It operates on two convenient power sources, for maximum flexibility: Alkaline or Rechargeable AA batteries. Store photos in the built-in memory when your SD cards are full. Unlimited Consecutive Shooting lets you snap shots until your memory card is full. Shutter Speed - 8 - 1/2,000 sec. Exposure - Program AE 10 sec. Audio Dubbing Records to SD/MMC slots Auto Review - 1 sec/3 sec/zoom @ 1x/4x/8x Scene Modes - Simple, Normal Picture, Economy, Macro, Portrait, Night Portrait, Panning, Fireworks, Party, Snow and more PictBridge direct printing Auto Angle Detection Backlight Compensation Works with OxyRide AA batteries (included), Ni-MH rechargeables and alkaline batteries Color - Silver Dimensions(HxWxD) - 2.50 x 3.96 x 1.30 Weight - 0.49 lbs. Included Accessories - Two AA Oxyride batteries, A/V&USB cable, strap and CD-ROM

This camera has been my pride and joy for about 3 years, survived a three foot drop onto a concrete floor, and it takes quality pictures. My only complaint is that now that I'm learning a bit more about photography, it lacks a lot of options for aperture and shutter speed. I don't know if this is just with my computer, but the videos only play as small quicktime ones, but I didn't buy this to take videos anyway. It's not as skinny as the others in the pack, but with its zoom, battery life, and durability, it's worth it.

Panasonic BL-C131A Network Camera Wireless 802.11




What happens when you're not around? Life is precious and valuable. View the things you value when away from home or when you're at another room in your home. View your property, your pets, even your children. You can even listen in! You can add extra eyes (through your computer) by adding the Panasonic BL-C131A Wireless Network Camera. It works with 802.11g wireless technology and it lets you monitor its "view" (what its lens sees) from virtually anywhere. Just log on a specially designated Internet site using a PC and instantly access camera images. You can even control the BL-C131a using your web browser to move the camera's pointing direction and modify its digital zoom to bring objects of interest into close view. Place this plug-and-play camera in your home, office, vacation home, or almost anywhere else you'd like to keep an eye on things, with no PC required at the location.

If you want a wireless network camera that you can login to over the network (local network or internet) to see what is going on with you pet or home etc this is a great buy. And it does a lot more. It can e-mail you pictures based on motion detection during certain times, and capture brief video clips to. It exceeded my expectations and definately was exactly what I was looking for! You really need to set it up by connecting it via cable, but once set up that way it worked great on my secure wireless network and has worked flawlessly since! It could be better in very low light but makes up for that with it's ability to pan up/down and left/right!

Panasonic DMC-LX2S 10.2MP Digital Camera with 4x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom (Silver)




The Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX2 has an unique 16:9 wide CCD, various functions and smart design. The DMC-LX2 inherits the f2.8 28mm wide angle Leica DC lens, 4x optical zoom equivalent to 28-112mm on a 35mm film camera and Mega Optical Image Stabilizer (O.I.S.) system in addition to an enhanced CCD capable of taking images as well a larger 2.8-inch 16:9 wide LCD. The DMC-LX2 incorporates three wide features, a 28mm wide-angle Leica DC lens, 16:9 wide CCD, and 16:9 wide LCD. The Venus Engine III high-performance image-processing LSI dramatically reduce the noise that challenged the predecessor, realizing image recording at maximum ISO 1600 high sensitivity setting at full resolution. The aspect ratio is easily selectable between 16:9 wide, 3:2, and conventional 4:3 with a switch located on top of the lens barrel to shoot in the framing aspect that best suits the subjects' composition or image's purpose of use. In addition, the DMC-LX2 is capable of recording wide 16:9 high definition 1280 x 720 motion image at 15 frames per second (fps).

I read many reviews before purchasing this product. I take photographs for a living and need a high quality, reliable camera. Yes, for the really critical/ technical shots I still use a 35mm. However, for general use, a 35 mm is too bulky and heavy. This is why I did not want to purchase a Digital SLR. Out of the box this camera is very easy to use. We just purchased another for our 8 year old son. Yes, he is pretty smart in that on his own (trial and error) he learned to simultaneously operate the television, satellite and stereo.

Panasonic CGA-S002 Rechargeable Battery Pack for DMCFZ3/FZ15/FZ20 Digital Cameras




Panasonic Lithium Ion Battery for models DMC: FZ5, FZ4,FZ20, FZ15, FZ3, FZ2, FZ10 & FZ1

My son plays competitive golf, so we can be on the golf course for 4-6 hours. I follow and take pictures and mini movie clips with my Panasonic FZ-20. One battery will last me at least that long and sometimes longer as I upload the card to my computer afterwards. This includes turning the camera on and off during the round. But I also will forget to turn the camera off as we walk down the fairways, and with the camera's power save mode, it is never a problem. I always carry an extra battery in my back pocket, but rarely have to switch it out. I have 3 batteries that I rotate in use. I have just found that Panasonic is a superior product for my needs.
