Panasonic Lumix DMC-LS70S 7MP Digital Camera with 3x Image Stabilized Zoom
Description
The 7.2-megapixel DMC-LS70S features an Intelligent Image Stabilization system with Mega O.I.S., Intelligent ISO Control, a superb optical 3x zoom(equivalent to 35-105mm on a 35mm film camera) Lumix DC Vario lens, and bright 2.0-inch LCD.
The Intelligent Image Stabilization system comprises two features -- Mega O.I.S. and Intelligent ISO Control -- that together make it easy to capture beautiful photos every time you shoot. Now recognized as a must-have feature for digital cameras, Mega O.I.S. compensates for the effects of hand-shake, making it possible to capture clear, crisp photos indoors, at night, or when taking macro close-ups -- situations in which hand-shake is most likely to be a problem. Even Mega O.I.S., however, cannot suppress the motion blur caused by a subject moving as the photo is being snapped. That's where Intelligent ISO Control comes in. In this system, the camera's Venus Engine III image-processing engine detects whether the subject is moving and, as necessary, raises the ISO setting and shutter speed according to how fast the subject is moving and the light conditions. This happens automatically, so you can shoot without the bother of adjusting settings every time conditions change. Lumix and its powerful Intelligent Image Stabilization system do all the work automatically. You enjoy easy, trouble-free shooting in any situation and get the satisfaction that comes with capturing clear, beautiful images.
The LS70 also offers a range of features that enhance usability and add convenience. The Easy Zoom feature shifts the lens instantly to full 3x zoom power at the touch of a dedicated button. The new Quick Setting function lets you quickly and easily access and set the functions used most often. With the new Date Stamp function, you can simply stamp the date on photos or you can take advantage of two original Lumix features. When travelling, you can stamp the day of the trip on the photos you take. Or, if you have a baby, you can stamp his or her age in months on your photos. The stamped information appears on photos that you print yourself at home or have printed at a photo shop.
It also boasts 27MB of internal memory (approximate) and accepts large-capacity SDHC memory cards, giving users more flexibility in shooting and recording. The menu and its graphical user interface have also been redesigned, with the colours brightened for easier viewability. Powered by Panasonic’s original, extended-life Oxyride dry cell batteries, the LS70 can take 250 shots (CIPA). The menu and its graphical user interface have also been redesigned, with the colors brightened for easier viewability.

Panasonic Lumix DMC-LS70S 7MP Digital Camera user reviews
"Well. I had been looking for cheap and small camera because of my business trip. This camera is not really small (it is not going in your pocket). But, it is handy and nice quality to use casual shot, etc.
Good: Cheap
Nice shot
Support wide mode
Image stabilizer
CON: a little bigger than my thought.
no record sound in movie mode(It is not camcorder): I am not using this function much.
After I received the camera, I realized the USB cable is not regular one. It is compact plug to the Camera side. I do not know what it is called.
Over all, it is nice camera for cheap. "

"I was looking for a cheap digital camera with high mega pixels to take climbing. That way if it falls off the cliff, I dont have to care so much. I looked and read reviews on cameras for 3 hours before I picked out this one. I knew it didnt have sound for recording, but I didnt want sound. Easier to put music over it later. I got it because it takes great night shots. And boy does it, just adjust the iso setting yourself and you can get some great night shots. The pictures it takes are very clear and crisp. I got it also for the hand stabilizer because my climbing partner has very shaky hands. So the pictures will come out clearer when he uses it. There is a great option of scene selection. Just choice your situation and it sets up the camera for you. I used the sports setting to takes some pics of my cat running around and a fish swimming. It caught them without blur, nice and cleanly.
There is only one small flaw. The camera image resets after taking a pic with the flash. But with only 2 batteries to run the camera, it makes sense. So when the flash recharges, you have no display. Only takes about 2 secs and the display is back. Doesn't effect much.
All in all, I couldnt be more happy with this camera. I wanted a compact camera with video capabilities and high mega pixels with lower price, and thats what I got. And the video quality is pretty darn good. Better than a $300 Canon my fiance has. So if you are looking for an inexpensive camera that has great capabilities, get this one."

"I bought this as a second camera. For travel, I use a digital with a 10X zoom. It's great for trips, but it's a bit bulky, for family gatherings or formal events (when I am carrying a small purse.)
So I wanted a pocket sized camera, but since it is my second, I did not want to spend a lot. I looked around in stores and on line and quickly settled on this model. Why? It is nice and small and has all of the features I need. A 3X zoom is fine for the events I mentioned and at 7.2MP, the picture quality is excellent. It is also the only camera I found in this price range that had anti-shake technology. It has many options for flash, as well as a variety of shooting modes (like sunset, macro, portrait, sports and so on.) There are thinner cameras on the market, but at about 1.2 inches, it's still nice, small and lightweight.
It also used AA batteries. I will only buy cameras that take AA's, because you can get them anywhere, if you run out.
It has a couple of negatives. There is no sound in video mode. This is of no importance to me, but should be mentioned for other buyers. There is a nice LCD screen but no viewfinder. I'm an old photographer who is used to a viewfinder, so this takes getting used to."
