Description — Panasonic DMC-LC33
The Panasonic LUMIX LC33 is a point-and-shoot compact camera built around a 1/2.5-inch, 3MP sensor capable of capturing images at up to 2048x1536 pixels in the sRGB color profile. Its 1.5-inch TFT LCD with 114,000 dots of resolution sits alongside an optical tunnel viewfinder, offering flexibility in how you frame a shot. The contrast detection autofocus system keeps things simple, while burst mode at up to 4 frames per second adds a degree of action-shooting capability.
The built-in flash reaches up to 2.4 meters and covers seven modes — including Red-Eye Slow Sync and Slow Sync — for varied shooting scenarios. Powered by 2x AA batteries (NiMH recommended), the LC33 is rated for approximately 120 shots per charge under CIPA conditions. The plastic body measures 96 x 66 x 34 mm and weighs just 215g, keeping it genuinely pocketable.
Storage is via SD card, with USB connectivity for file transfer. The native ISO range spans 50 to 400.
