Description — Panasonic DMC-FS2
The Panasonic LUMIX FS2 is a compact point-and-shoot built for simplicity and portability. Its 7MP sensor with a 1/2.5-inch size captures stills at up to 3072x2304 pixels, with color profile options including Standard, Vivid, Natural, Black & White, and Sepia.

At just 132g and measuring 94 x 51 x 24 mm in a plastic/metal composite body, it's genuinely pocket-sized. The 2.5-inch TFT LCD with 115,000 dots resolution handles all framing and image review duties. A built-in flash covers modes including Auto, Red-Eye Reduction, On, Off, and Slow Sync.
Autofocus uses contrast detection with 1 focus point. ISO runs from 100 to 400. Burst shooting is available at up to 3fps.
Video tops out at 480p at 30fps. Connectivity includes USB for wired image transfer, and storage is via SD card. The CGA-S005A Li-Ion battery delivers approximately 300 shots per the CIPA standard.
