Panasonic Lumix DMC-LC70

Design / LayoutViewfinder (4.5)
The viewfinder is located above the LCD screen, and it is a real image optical viewfinder. With the small viewfinder Panasonic effectively made this feature an anachronistic accessory, like stylized bumps that look cool. The small overall size make it purposeless, especially when you have such long luscious eyelashes like mine. Either way, optical viewfinders only give 75-90% viewing accuracy, leaving much of what is actually being photographed a mystery for a later date.
LCD Screen (6.0)
The LCD screen is a 1.5-inch (114,000 pixel) display with an approximate field of vision of 100%. Other LCD screens within the same price range tend to be about the same size, although many have moved into the 1.8-inch size range, although the difference isn’t remarkable or memorable.
Flash (6.0)
The flash for the Panasonic Lumix DMC-LC70 is a built-in feature, and it is controlled through the right portion of the four-way keypad. The following options are available for the flash: Auto, Auto/Red Eye Reduction, Slow Sync./Red Eye Reduction, Forced On/Off. 0.98-15.75 feet for Wide/ISO Auto settings, and 1.64-9.19 feet for Telephoto/ISO Auto settings, are the flash ranges available for the Panasonic Lumix DMC-LC70.
Zoom Lens (6.0)
The Panasonic LC70 is equipped with a 3x optical zoom (pretty standard for most point-and-shoot cameras), and the Leica DC lens has a 1/2.5", 4.2 total MP, 4.0 effective MP CCD, making it a formidable opponent within this price category in regards to image quality.

Nikon Coolpix L810 First Impressions Review
Nikon’s L810 is a AA-powered ultrazoom that somehow manages 26x for under $300. Some cost-cutting efforts have certainly been made, and controls are quite simplified, but for the right user this could be an ideal camera. Read More...
