Here is the first compact summer campaign for Panasonic. Advanced processor, touch screen, 5x zoom wide angle iA mode even more advanced. That bodes well for the characteristics of the models coming this summer.
With this high-end compact, we can not fail to note that the 5x zoom (24-120 mm eq. 24 x 36) is brighter than usual, F2, 2 cons F2, 8 usually. But in the end of the race, there is no room for complacency: F5, 9. We know that Panasonic is an injector of software technologies to facilitate shooting and enhance images on all criteria: exposure, focus, optical corrections. It is also the case with the Venus Engine II, which pushes the HD mode in iA further blur avoidance, and saves precious tenths in development. And it supports the Intelligent Zoom which offers via interpolation very friendly, the equivalent of a 156mm zoom. If there is still no means Priorities technically challenging this model, the settings go through an LCD touch screen.
The output will occur in August at a price of 299 €.
