Remember the Essentials

A memory card is not included with the camera.
Get a high-capacity memory card so you don't get caught without memory.  

Slim and stylish, the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FP3 Digital Camera offers a powerful set of imaging features to enhance your digital lifestyle. At less than an inch thin, the camera is easy to carry and fun to use. An all-new 3.0" touch-screen LCD makes composing photos and navigating menus fun and easy. 

Panasonic's Intelligent Exposure (iA) Mode simplifies face detection autofocus, AF tracking for moving subjects, optical image stabilization, scene mode selection, and ISO to make great pictures as simple as point-and-shoot. Concentrate on the subject in front of you--let the camera do the rest.

The DMC-FP3 employs an advanced 14.1 megapixel image sensor for capturing all of your subjects with natural color and stunning, life-like detail. Whether you're shooting vast cityscapes or portraits of friends, the 4x wide angle optical zoom lens allows you to compose without compromise. With all this and more, the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FP3 meets all the needs of the 21st century digital lifestyle.

4x Wide Angle Optical Zoom Lens
The DMC-FP3 is equipped with an impressive 4x wide angle zoom lens (35-140mm in the 35mm format) with a fast aperture (f/2.8-6.9). The 35mm wide angle capability lets you easily capture large groups of people indoors or expansive landscapes from a wide, dynamic perspective.
Intelligent Auto Exposure (iA)
Taking great photos should be as simple as point-and-shoot. That's the philosophy behind the Panasonic's Intelligent Auto Exposure (iA). Combining face detection autofocus, AF tracking for moving subjects, image stabilization, scene mode selection, and auto ISO selection, the DMC-FP3 delivers consistently beautiful photographs.
MEGA Optical Image Stabilization (O.I.S.)
The LUMIX DMC-FP3 is equipped with Panasonic's industry-leading MEGA Optical Image Stabilization (O.I.S.) that automatically detects and corrects for camera shake. Even under low-light conditions, the DMC-FP3 provides consistently sharp, crisp, photographs you can be proud of. The technology works seamlessly with or without a flash.
High Speed AF
Autofocus with the DMC-FP3 has been updated with improved performance for tracking action subjects.
40MB of Internal Memory
With 40MB of built-in memory, the DMC-FP3 has ample space for storing and sharing your favorite photos. Share holiday photos, vacation snaps, and other treasured memories without sacrificing space on your memory card.

Comments about Panasonic LUMIX DMC-FP3 Digital Camera (Silver):

Using this for property appraisals, requiring both inside and exterior photos. Shutter times seem slow outside, and flash illumination is limited to 10 ft rather than the 15 I usually require.

    Comments about Panasonic LUMIX DMC-FP3 Digital Camera (Silver):

    Enjoyed using this camera right out of the box. You will want to buy a memory card (and a card reader if you use a Mac). If you don't buy a memory card, you must have a PC to use the USB cable to download your pics off the camera hard drive. Small inconvenience for a terrific camera in this price category.
