Panasonic DMC-LZ10 Slim camera from Panasonic

Panasonic launched on Tuesday a new class of digital cameras at the PMA trade show in Las Vegas. The company announced two point-and-shoot models, the 10.1-megapixel DMC-LZ10 and the 8.1MP DMC-LZ8, both of which offer improvements over last year's LZ7 model such as Leica DC VARIO-ELMAR lenses and wide-angle shooting—30mm on the LZ10 and 32mm on the LZ8.

Both of these new models feature 2.5-inch LCD screens that can adjust to various lighting conditions. Also new to this series is Advanced Scene Mode, which gives consumers manual control with frequently used scene modes: Portrait, Sports, Landscape, and Night.
