Panasonic FS20 and FS5 10.1-megapixel from Panasonic

Panasonic has made the launch of the 10.1-megapixel LZ10 and the 8.1-megapixel LZ8 cameras that both feature intelligent auto mode, consisting of optical image stabilization, intelligent ISO, intelligent scene selector, face detection of up to fifteen faces and quick autofocus.

The new LZ10 and LZ8 models feature two key enhancements from last year's LZ7: Leica DC VARIO-ELMAR lenses and wide-angle shooting - 30mm on the LZ10 and 32mm on the LZ8. Features include the Venus Engine IV for image processing, approximately 50MB of internal memory, and a 3-inch LCD screen for the FS20 and a 2.5-inch LCD screen for the FS5.
