The tiny Panasonic Lumix DMC-FS5 holds a lot of technology to make photography easy, including the latest version of Panasonic's Venus processor, intelligent auto-focus and 20 scene modes. Although the camera does not offer full manual control over exposures, it does have many options (including white balance, contrast, EV compensation) to give users a degree of control over their image. The 4x lens covers a range equivalent to 30-120mm (moderate wide angle to short telephoto), and is made by Leica, which is widely held by photographers to be among the best quality lenses available. Some users have noted the tiny size, intended for convenience, may increase the chance of losing the camera.
