You Don’t REALLY Want A Better Camera, Do You?
Yes, you can get better cameras. But do you really want to learn how to use one?
You’re not some overpaid pro with hours to kill. You can’t afford to hire some Russian model to sit there and drink mineral water as you figure things out. You’re in front of the Lincoln Memorial, with two grumpy kids faking their smile, and you’ve got maybe five seconds before they run to buy hot dogs. It’s now or never. And that’s why the Panasonic Lumix 16.1MP Digital Camera is perfect for you.
16.1 megapixels and a variety of modes (from Scenery to Night Portrait to Sunset and beyond) including iA, which is like a little genius robot that always takes the very best photos. P.S.: you know who doesn’t always take the very best photos? Yeah, people with expensive cameras. Seriously, take a look in any photo studio, and you’ll see some pro with a huge camera taking 300 shots a second. Hello, anybody can be a pro if they pick one shot out of millions! That’s just law of averages! The real challenge comes from being out there, in the wild, trying to sneak up on a squirrel with its nose in a soda can. THAT’S what true art is all about. Not who can spend the most on cameras.
Also with a Panasonic Lumix 16.1MP Digital Camera, you won’t be scared about leaving it on the bus by accident. Some fashion photographer who took out a second mortgage to cover their special lens? They sure can’t say the same thing.

- When you don’t know which mode will give you the best shooting results, or when a sudden photo opportunity pops up and you don’t have time to change settings, simply choose the iA (Intelligent Auto) Mode and let the camera do it all for you
- The high-speed, high-performance Venus Engine VI enables recording of beautiful images with higher quality signal processing including the Intelligent Resolution technology
- When the camera is in iA Mode, the Intelligent Scene Selector automatically sets the Scene Mode to Scenery, Portrait, Macro, Night Portrait, Night Scenery or Sunset. The camera judges it from the various detection results such as focusing and brightness level of the circumstance
