The Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX12 Digital Camera offers a wealth of features contained in a stylish and ultra slim body. Featuring a top quality 3x zoom Leica DC Vario-Elmarit lens with the ingenious combination of two anti blur systems (MEGA O.I.S and Intelligent ISO control), you'll get consistently sharp and bright images that are easily comparable to those captured with a professional digital camera. The cameras zoom can also be extended an additional 4.5x (when shooting 3 megapixels or less) with minimal loss of image quality thanks to the Extra Optical Zoom feature. The DMC-FX12 features the Venus Engine III advanced image-processing engine that can record at a sensitivity setting as a high as ISO 1250, provides fast camera functioning, and keeps power usage down so you can keep shooting pictures all day. The DMC-FX12 has a bright, high resolution LCD display that measures 2.5" diagonally so you can easily frame your shots and then review and share your pictures with family and friends. Furthermore, the cameras controls are very intuitive with a logical mode dial, a one-touch function button to quickly access commonly used menu selections, and a slew of scene modes for getting the best possible exposure, without the need to manually adjust all of the camera settings. In addition, the camera is extremely energy efficient, so the included lithium-ion battery can provide 350 shots on a single charge.

"I am an amateur photographer that sometimes takes photos for professional outlets.



The colours are rich and deep in the pictures that it takes. Even at lower bit settings the pictures are amazing. The higher the setting, the more detail (obviously).
