Description — Panasonic SV-AS3
The Panasonic SV-AS3 is a minimalist point-and-shoot camera built for portability above all else. With a body weighing only 75 grams and measuring 52.5 x 88.7 x 21.0 mm, it is designed to slip into a shirt pocket without a second thought. The camera's 3MP sensor with a 1/3-inch sensor size delivers still images at up to 2048x1536 pixels.
A 1.5-inch fixed LCD screen handles image review, while a built-in flash with auto, reduced red eye, flash on, and flash off modes provides some low-light flexibility. ISO sensitivity runs from 100 to 400. Video recording reaches VGA resolution at frame rates of 30fps, 15fps, 10fps, and 6fps.
Files are stored on SD cards and transferred via USB. The 4V rechargeable lithium-ion battery supports up to 36 hours of playback. There is no image stabilization, no viewfinder, and no wireless connectivity — a focused, compact package for basic imaging tasks.
