Review: With top-notch picture quality for its class, excellent close-up features, a burst mode that can grab five shots in two seconds, and versatile shooting options that include a power-saving economy setting and a superfriendly Simple mode, the Panasonic Lumix DMC-LC50 will appeal to snapshooters who want quality and convenience in a compact package. Unfortunately, significant shutter lag, middle-of-the-pack performance, and a lack of manual controls will send some snapshot photographers looking elsewhere.Not the most compact 3.2-megapixel shooter around but still easily portable in a jacket pocket, the Panasonic Lumix DMC-LC50 has an average-looking, 7.5-ounce silver-toned plastic body. ...

On top of the camera, a zoom toggle encircles the shutter release so that both fall under your index finger. The only other top-mounted control is the power switch; even the power-on LED has been relegated to a well-designed back panel that uses a minimal number of buttons and dials to accommodate other functions.

Summary: THIS CAMERAS COMPLIES WITH THIS SPECIFICATION, IN THE MANUAL SAYS THAT THIS CAMERA CAN MADE LITLE MOVIES WITHOUT SOUND BECAUSE THIS I'M NOT AGREE WITH THE OPINION OF THAT THIS IS A CONSTRAINT, IF YOU WANT A FILM RECORDER BUY IT, THIS IS AN OPTIONAL FEATURE, THIS CAMERA WAS A GIFT FROM MY WIFE TO ME. AND IT WAS THE BETTER GIFT RECEIVED. I HAVE PRINTED PICTURES FROM RESOLOTION LESS THAN 2048 PIXELS (THIS IS MAXIMUN ALLOWED FOR THIS MODEL) AND USE PHOTOEDITOR TO INCREASE THE SIZE TO PRINT THEI PHOTOS IN PHOTO SHOP. THE PICTURES REMAINS BEATIFULL AS THE FIRST TAKE. IF YOU WANT A CAMERA WITH EASY USE FOR ANY, THIS CAMERA SHOULD BE YOUR CHOICE. NO MATTER IF EXIST MORE ADVANCED CAMERAS BUT FOR PEOPLE LIKE ME IF EXCELLENT!
4.5 stars Pros: Crisp shots, great color saturation, Leica lens
Cons: a little bulky, small screen
Summary: I had a Casio Exilim Z40 4mp, it got stolen, so I bought this. For a lot less money, I got better pictures (even with less MPs).
