Product Description

Simply set the 8.1-megapixel DMC-FS3 to iA mode and let the four Intelligent Auto functions team up to help prevent shooting errors. Intelligent Scene Selector chooses the mode that best fits the situation; MEGA Optical Image Stabilization (O.I.S.) helps prevent blurring from hand-shake; Intelligent ISO Control helps prevent motion blur; and Face Detection helps produce clear portraits by optimizing the focus and exposure settings.The 33mm Leica DC Vario-Elmarit lens with 3x optical zoom takes wider shots than an ordinary 35mm lens. This is helpful in small rooms or crowded places, for example, letting you fit more people into a group photo. There's also an Easy Zoom button on the camera top - just press it, and the optical zoom and Extra Optical Zoom instantly extend to full telescopic position. This quick zooming lets you catch even fleeting opportunities.With its two basic settings - shoot and play - the FS3 is easy enough for anybody to use. Panasonic has also minimized the number of fine settings that need to be made with the cursor button and easy-to-understand settings menu.The brightness and contrast of the large 2.5" diagonal LCD adjust automatically in 10 steps as ambient light conditions change, so images are clear, bright and easy to see day or night, indoors or outdoors.In Hi-Speed Burst mode, you can snap off a lightning-fast seven shots per second. This makes it easier to catch the perfect action shot of a fast-moving subject.

Customer Reviews

won't miss a bit. EVER!
i was skeptical at first. i was not sure about panasonic making picture cameras. and the price was incredibly low for the amount of megapixels. i took some pictures of moving objects in very low light, and the automatic settings fixed the image. so, it would always be in focus. the flash never burns the skin's color as well. the video is great. though it does not have 720p. the aperture is somewhat greater than i thought. i took some close-ups outside and compared it with my slr. the depth of field very eminent. i am loving the face detection on this camera too. way faster than my Kodak 1253, and more accurate. the size and its simplicity of use makes it great for those who travel light. also the quality and speed is a plus. great for low light situation (even if you do not want to use the flash). it is a great camera but not a toy. give to you older children and get them introduced to Photography.

ps.
battery life is outstanding.

I love it
I spent more money on Canon and Kodak cameras, but they were not producing the results like this. For the price I paid for this camera, it is great. I recommend this.

AMAZING!!
My previous camera was a Kodak. Everything about the camera was horrible, so I began begging my Mom to get me a camera for Christmas. Well, she did, and the camera she got me (Panasonic DMC FS3) is absolutely amazing. Unlike the Kodak, this camera is very fast and has great battery life. The zoom is wonderful and the size is great. I couldn't have asked for a better camera. Panasonic is the way to go!
