The Panasonic Lumix DMC-LC70 is a point-and-shoot hybrid model put out with a MSRP of US $299.99, making it by far one of the lowest priced models in the Lumix series of digital cameras. With a 3x optical zoom, the Leica DC lens has a 1/2.5”, 4.2 total MP, 4.0 effective MP CCD. It can record still images in five sizes, and motion in a 320 x 240 format only. Manually, the user can control White Balance, ISO settings, and automatic focus and exposure settings. Its squared body makes it an easier camera to carry, though not especially advantageous in regards to slipping into your back pocket. Burst shooting capable, this unit can direct print as well, by using the USB port. It can play back captured video via TV monitor or on camera, although Audio cannot be played back on this product when viewing in-camera movies.
