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.

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

      I bought this camera as a gift for my teenage daughter, who is always taking pictures w/ her friends. Not only is the color "COOL", but it is easy to use.The pictures come out beautifully. Fits right in her pocket for easy access and she takes it every where. B&H had a bundel package with this camera with it I was able to purchase a memorycard and case. I researched this camera and B&H had the best price. My daughter was presented with 2 cameras for Christmas, the one she asked for and this Lumix(which if she didn't want, I would keep for myself. She choose the Lumix, so I'm returning the other one(which I did not buy from B&H)and getting a Lumix for me from B&H!!

          I bought this camera because I wanted a small, thin, not expensive camera that I could put in my purse and take it with me. I love it!!!! It's everything I wanted and more, its thin, small and not at all expensive given the many features it has. I absolutely recomend this camera!!!
