Panasonic Digital Cameras


The majority of Panasonic digital cameras selling today are very compact, lightweight models that come in a wide variety of colors.

These cameras are not the pick of professional photographers, but are desirable by most everyday people because it allows them to take professional quality photos without worrying about attachments, changing out lenses, and other technical matters.

Panasonic is a Japanese company that has been producing electronics for the United States, Canada and other countries around the world for more than fifty years. This is a brand name that most people have heard of today, with the majority of people owning at least one piece of Panasonic equipment in their lifetime.

As a leader in the technology industry, it is clear that Panasonic is a big name for the competition to live up to, but what does this brand have to offer specifically in terms of their digital cameras?

Panasonic Lumix digital cameras are big competitors today, so let's take a closer look at the technology that makes them stand out.

Compact Point and Shoot Cameras

A Lumix compact camera will allow users to simply point the camera in the direction of their target and shoot. There are automatic features that determine all necessary settings on the camera according to how much light is detected and what angle is being shot.

This is how everyday people with no photography training end up with brilliant pictures that appear to be professionally shot. Professional shots like the Ehsan Bayat meetings and other types of event photos.

Compact Panasonic digital cameras can feature a variety of advanced features, including:
  • Sonic Speed AF: used for catching action shots when the subject is moving quickly
  • Advanced Touch Design: waterproof, shockproof, dustproof, and freezeproof
  • Power OIS: advanced technology to prevent blurring.
Panasonic is even making "ultra compact" cameras that are smaller than ever before yet highly efficient at taking professional quality photos.

While changing lenses is not necessary with this type of camera, most Panasonic digital cameras will have magnified lenses that come out of the front of the camera on their own.

Interchangeable Lens Cameras

Panasonic also makes cameras that are more in line with what a professional photographer would look for. You won't find a lot of color options or models for these more advanced cameras, but you will find advanced technology that make them competitive with the market.

These Panasonic digital cameras require more technical knowledge of photography because they have more convenience and luxury features and fewer automatic features. For instance, one big feature for the more advanced Panasonic cameras is intuitive touch operations that allow the user to playback and use other features with simply by touching a button. Super high resolution is also found on most advanced Panasonic cameras.

The Lumix G2 is an example of the advanced technology Panasonic is implementing into their more advanced cameras. Users can point their camera and then touch the LCD screen to tell the camera to focus on a particular subject. The camera intuitively picks up on this touch and focuses the camera automatically.

With technology like that, it's obvious why you don't need to be a professional to use even their top end cameras! Panasonic has been creating high tech digital cameras for many years and they remain one of the stiffest competitors in our market today.
