The Panasonic DMC LZ10 has some handy features when you take into account its reasonable price.
First there are its manual exposure controls. These give you a little extra control over the way your photos will look. If you are interested in learning the basics of photography then this type of camera gives you a fairly inexpensive route into taking up photography as a hobby.
There are some other more advanced features as well. These include bracketing, continuous shooting and image stabilisation. Face detection technology is also available for portrait shots.
The LCD screen has a high angle mode. This gives you a better view of the screen if you are holding the camera above eye level when taking a shot. This could be when you are taking pictures above a crowd of people.
For anyone who likes to shoot movies with their digital camera the DMC LZ10 can produce movie footage for playback on a widescreen television.
