Description — Panasonic DMC-FP8
The Panasonic LUMIX FP8 is a slim, metal-bodied point-and-shoot camera measuring 3.8 x 2.4 x 0.8 inches and tipping the scales at just 5.3 oz — making it one of the easier cameras to carry day-to-day. At its core is a 12MP, 1/2.3-inch sensor capable of capturing stills at up to 4000x3000 pixels. The camera uses a contrast-detection autofocus system with 11-point AF coverage to lock focus across the frame. Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) is on board alongside a digital IS option to minimize motion blur during handheld shooting.
The 2.7-inch LCD with 230,000-dot resolution is your window for framing shots and reviewing images, as there is no viewfinder. A built-in flash handles low-light situations when needed. ISO flexibility spans 80 to 6400, and the rechargeable Li-ion battery is rated for 350–380 shots per charge.
Video capture tops out at 720p at 30fps, and the camera stores files to SD and SDHC cards. Connectivity is via USB, with no wireless options available.
