Panasonic Lumix FS5 camera: finally released after delay

The Panasonic Lumix FS5 camera had just a minor delay, however thankfully this compact digital camera has now been released. The camera is a 10.1-megapixel model and features a 4x optical zoom with its Leica lens.

The focal range of the Panasonic Lumix FS5 is much the same as a 30-120mm SLR lens. If you like to take quick bursts, then you will love the 6fps burst mode. However this does come at a price, as you will need to reduce the resolution down to 2.5 megapixels. Storage for this camera is SD, MMC or SDHC. The LCD view screen on the back measures 2.5 Inches, expect to pay around $250 for the Panasonic Lumix FS5.
