Panasonic Lumix DMC-LZ8K 8MP Digital Camera with 5x Wide Angle MEGA Optical Image Stabilized Zoom (Black) With both a 32mm wide-angle Leica DC Vario-Elmar lens and a 5x zoom, this is one camera that does it all. You can fit more in the photo than you can with a 35mm lens, so you can get more of a sweeping landscape in a single shot. The 5x zoom is great for capturing dramatic shots of small or distant subjects. There’s also an Extra Optical Zoom function that boosts zoom power to 8.9x in 3-megapixel resolution mode. Simply set the Lz8 to iA mode and let the camera do the rest. 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 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. f=5.2-26mm (35mm Equiv. - 32-160mm) Focal Length 2.5 Diagonal Polycrystalline TFT LCD Display (230K dots) Focusing Area Normal - Wide 50cm/ Tele 100cm - infinity, Macro / Intelligent AUTO - Wide 5cm / Tele 100cm - infinity 8 - 1/2,000 sec.

Customer Review: A great camera
I had bought a Canon SD750 and while it gave great outdoor shots I gave it back because the indoor shots were grainy or blurry unless one used flash. I hate to use flash most of the time as it usually gives a glaring effect (not to mention surprising the subject) and want to capture pictures in natural light as much as possible. I also tried the Nikon Coolpix ($200) and got the same result, though marginally better than the Canon. Finally settled on the Lumix which gives fabulous indoor shoots in natural light (while also doing great on outdoor shots). All the other features (incl manual control) were a great bonus as they usually come in higher end cameras/SLRs. Also, the histogram and other settings are visible in playback mode also which most the other cameras didn’t have. IMHO, this camera is the best buy in point and shoot, period.
Customer Review: Super Small Camera
Have used this Camera for a month , and I am very pleased with the performance to date ! Small and loaded with some nice features ! Some moments of ” Lag ” , but Quality of pictures more than makes up for this!

There is no quick and easy answer to the question of what to do with all of our throw-away electronics, but one thing is for sure ? it is an ever-growing issue and we all need to act responsibly with the disposal of our E-waste.

According to Stateline.org an online publication and independent element of the Pew Research Center: There is no precise estimate of how much E-waste is piling up in the nation’s landfills, but the National Safety Council estimates that 500 million defunct computers and monitors will be discarded by 2007. California’s environmental protection agency estimates 6 million monitors are stacked in state homes and offices waiting to be tossed.

Customer Review: top of the line, beware burn in gamers!
straight up, i did my research for about a year while i saved money. this is the best set you will find for your money, everything you’ve read about it is true, except one thing. Burn-in. Gamers beware. Even if you watch HD-TV with a symbol in the corner like ‘TLC’ you’ll get burn in if the icon doesn’t move. I have this set and a good friend does too. what really upsets me is playing my ps3 through this. Sharp as a razor yes. adding a static wallpaper for a custom theme though is a BAD idea. Try it, you’ll see. then play some music and turn the visualizer on. if you cant see the burn in, then get your eyes checked. play rock band or guitar hero FOR AN HOUR (which is’nt hard to do), turn any white background on, look for the game icon burn ins (rock meter, etc). Generally they go away after a couple hours, but its frustrating. BOTH my set and my good friend’s set do the same thing. even a half hour of a static image will create burn in. Granted its better now a days than it used to be, at least it goes away after some time…. if you’re a gamer, pick up the sharp aquos. no burn-in on an lcd set; and the runner up as far as a great picture goes (reds are a little funny at times though). Reviews are slightly lower, but hell, you could at least leave a game system on pause without havening to worry about switching the inputs to avoid burn in. Im serious folks. take heed. great set, bad for gamers and burn-in. sharp as a razor though….

Customer Review: Great little unit
I purchased this unit for my husband, and he has been using it every day at work and is very happy with it. He’s a crane operator and has it so his sirius Stiletto unit is on while he works. He also purchased a battery charger with rechargable batteries so he dosnt have to keep buying new ones every couple of days. So far he has been very happy with it.
