Description — Panasonic DMC-FH8
The Panasonic LUMIX FH8 is a no-fuss point-and-shoot camera designed for everyday casual use. At the heart of the camera is a 16MP sensor measuring 1/2.3 inches, paired with Panasonic's Venus Engine image processor. The body is built from a plastic/metal composite and measures a pocket-friendly 96 x 57 x 19 mm at just 123g, making it one of the easier cameras to carry around daily.
The 3.0-inch fixed LCD with 230,000 dots is your window for composing shots and reviewing images, as there is no optical or electronic viewfinder. Autofocus is handled by a contrast detection system spanning 23 points, with subject tracking enabled for more dynamic shooting situations. Optical image stabilization (OIS) is on board to help combat camera shake. The ISO range runs from 100 to 1600, and still images can be captured in five color profiles: Standard, Vivid, Natural, Black & White, and Sepia.
Video shoots at up to 30fps in 8-bit color. Storage options include SD, SDHC, and SDXC cards, and the camera includes a built-in flash for supplemental lighting.
