Panasonic adds DMC-FS62 to its compact digital camera range - Tech Digest
Panasonic has announced a new addition to its Lumix FS Series of compact digital cameras, with the introduction of the DMC-FS62. Most of the features you'd expect on a compact are here -- 10.1-megapixel, 2.5-inch LCD, face detection (up to 15 in each shot), scene selection, image stabilisation and movie mode (up to 848 x 480 WVGA resolution). The camera has a F2.8 Leica DC VARIO-ELMARIT lens which offers 4x optical zoom - not spectacular even for a compact but acceptable - though it can be extended up o 7.1x by using the Extra Optical Zoom function, though you're then limited to just 3-megapixel shots...
