Panasonic DMC LS80

The Panasonic DMC LS80 is an 8 megapixel digital camera with a 3x optical zoom lens. It is simple and easy to use. Picture quality is above average for a camera in this price bracket.

Ease of use - wide screen movies

Shutter delay could be that little bit faster

This camera outperforms many cameras with a similar specification and price tag. It really comes into its own with its ease of use. You will also find one or two features that are not normally associated with entry level cameras such as image...

Panasonic Lumix DMC-LS80 review

Panasonic's Lumix DMC-LS80 is a camera without pretense. It's an 8-megapixel snapshot camera with optical image stabilization and a price less than $200, you won't mistake it for a sleek, high-end ultracompact camera. Still, the LS80 feels comfortably...

Optically stabilized lens; great color reproduction; can shoot widescreen video.

Noisy, soft pictures; very slow performance.

Though it stands out as one of the least expensive digital cameras to sport optical image stabilization, the LS80's performance and pictures simply don't hold up against competing budget cameras.

Though it stands out as one of the least expensive digital cameras to sport optical image stabilisation, the LS80's performance and pictures simply don't hold up against competing budget cameras.

Noisy, soft pictures ; Very slow performance

The Panasonic Lumix DMC-LS80 distinguishes itself as one of the least expensive cameras available with an optical image stabilisation system. Unfortunately, while that feature is handy, it simply can't make up for the camera's sluggish performance and...
