Camera Overview β€” Panasonic SV-AS30

The Panasonic SV-AS30 is a compact point-and-shoot camera built around a 1/3-inch sensor capable of capturing stills at 3.2MP with a maximum resolution of 2048x1536 pixels. Designed with an ultra-slim form factor, it measures just 53.2 x 103.2 x 9.9 mm and weighs only 75g, making it one of the more pocketable options for casual shooters. The camera operates with a manual focus-only autofocus system, meaning there are no automatic focus points to rely on β€” a notable consideration for buyers expecting modern AF performance.

ISO sensitivity runs from 100 to 400, which keeps the camera oriented toward well-lit shooting conditions. For video, the SV-AS30 records at VGA resolution with frame rate options of 30fps, 15fps, 10fps, and 6fps. The rear display is a fixed 1.5-inch LCD at 76,800 dots resolution.

A built-in flash is included with auto, reduced red-eye, flash on, and flash off modes. Storage is handled via SD card, and connectivity includes USB. The Li-Ion battery is rated for up to 18 hours of music playback.

There is no image stabilization of any kind, no Wi-Fi, and no Bluetooth.
