The Panasonic DMC LS80 is an entry level digital camera. It has 8 megapixels and a 3x optical zoom lens. Panasonic have equipped the DMC LS80 with image stabilisation. This is a feature that is not often found on an entry level camera.
As you would expect with a camera like the DMC LS80 it does not have a lot of bells and whistles when it comes to features. This can help make the camera easier to use and you should not have any problems finding your way around. It should be a case of loading the batteries, turning the camera on and taking pictures.
Two AA batteries are required to run the camera. The advantage of using AA batteries is that they are easy to find and are available in most places throughout the world. Battery usage can be heavy and it is worth considering rechargeable batteries to keep running costs down.
For composing shots there is a 2.5 inch LCD screen.
