With impressive 16 megapixel clarity, a wide angle LEICA DC Vario-Elmar lens and 4x optical zoom, you get plenty of high-end quality at a great price. The large 2.7 inch LCD screen always gives you comfortable viewing when taking pictures or shooting video - it detects the light conditions to boost the LCD back lighting by up to 40% when you are shooting in bright light. The Panasonic FS18's image-processing Venus Engine VI features advanced signal processing technology that gives you a quick response time so you can capture those spur of the moment photo opportunities. Shoot HD movie footage in 1280 x 720p at a smooth 30fps, with simple uploads to social networking sites such as Facebook and YouTube. The Panasonic FS18 digital camera's Optical Image Stabilizer suppresses hand shake, giving you sharp, clear images every time. Human faces are captured in focus using Face Detection and red eyes are corrected automatically. Intelligent Scene Selector automatically selects the best mode for each shooting situation, with options including Macro, Portrait, Scenery, Night Portrait and Sunset. The Panasonic FS18 digital camera can also take 16:9 high-definition quality photos that fit perfectly on to a widescreen HD TV. Useful info:

Comments about Panasonic FS18 16 Megapixel Digital Camera - Black:
This compact camera is light and easily fits into a pocket. Picture quality is fantastic so if you like your shots, you can enlarge knowing that the quality will remain. I bought this as a gift but find I'm reaching for this one rather than my own camera when I want to catch a moment. Researched and read many reviews before I purchased and nothing about this camera or features has disappointed.

Comments about Panasonic FS18 16 Megapixel Digital Camera - Black:
I have found it hard to fault this camera. The pictures I took were really sharp and colours were true. The camera is easy to use and is surprisingly a solid piece of kit for a compact digital camera. I mainly use DSLR and also a Fuji bridging camera. This to me is an ideal camera I can carry about on a belt and is always handy to use. I know the results are superb. In all a good value camera.
