Panasonic DMC-FZ50 Digital Camera - Black

With its long-range zoom, superb optics, and 10.1-megapixel resolution, Panasonic's DMC-FZ50 is a photographic powerhouse. For starters, you get a 12X optical zoom that lets you zero in on far-off scenes or shoot an intimate portrait from across the room. And the 'FZ50's optical image stabilizer ensures that those kinds of shots aren't blurred by hand shake. It uses a built-in gyroscope to sense camera movement and shift the lens accordingly. You get a 10.1-megapixel image sensor for snapping crisply detailed pictures that make gorgeous large prints. The camera's extraordinary Leica lens includes manual zoom and focus rings for precise, immediate control as you compose your shot. Panasonic's latest generation image processor delivers blazing-fast camera response for minimal shutter lag time, better low-light shooting, and longer battery life. The handy flip-down 2" LCD screen swivels for easy shooting from difficult high- or low-angle positions. The full auto mode delivers outstanding photos, or you can use the picture preset modes to capture perfectly exposed shots in tricky conditions such as candlelight, nighttime shooting, or snow. Plus, sophisticated controls let you manually adjust aperture, shutter speed, white balance, ISO sensitivity (film speed equivalent), and more. The 'FZ50 even lets you capture widescreen photos and movies that look great when displayed on your widescreen TV or computer monitor.
