The Panansonic DMC-LZ6 Digital Camera boasts a 7.2-megapixel CCD, a powerful 6x optical zoom lens (equivalent to 37-222mm on a 35mm film camera) and convenient AA battery operation. Thanks to Panasonic's careful redesign inside and out, the DMC-LZ6 offers more power, better image control and a new sleek and stylish appearance, yet still are smaller and lighter than previous Lumix models. The DMC-LZ6 Digital Camera incorporates Intelligent Image Stabilization, a new camera system that comprises MEGA O.I.S. (Optical Image Stabilizer) and Intelligent ISO Control, together making it easy to capture beautiful photos every time you shoot. With Intelligent Image Stabilization ? MEGA O.I.S. to compensate for hand-shake plus Intelligent ISO Control to prevent motion blur ? Panasonic has taken image stabilisation a leap forward and equipped the new Lumix DMC-LZ6 with the industry's most advanced countermeasures against blurring.
In addition, the new DMC-LZ6, which features an impressive bright 2.0-inch LCDs< is equipped with the Panasonic Venus Engine III image processing engine that gives it even higher image quality and speedier processing than before. The Venus Engine III, which in the past was offered only in the higher end Lumix models, records at a sensitivity setting as high as ISO 1250 with full resolution, and aids in noise reduction by removing picture noise removed in stages during image processing. And, with its multi-task image-processing capability, the Venus Engine III boasts outstanding response time with shutter release time lag as short as 0.005 second. This fast response makes it easy to capture sudden, spur-of-the-moment shots, and allows for unlimited consecutive shooting.
The DMC-LZ6 offers a range of features that enhance usability and add convenience to digital imaging including: Quick Setting that allows users to quickly and easily access and set the functions used most often, Easy Zoom that shifts the lens instantly to full 6x zoom power at the touch of a dedicated button, and Date Stamp that include both date of photo, day of trip or age of person in the image itself.
The camera accepts large-capacity SDHC memory cards for extra shooting convenience and flexibility. Powered by two of Panasonic?s original, extended-life Oxyride dry cell batteries, the DMC-LZ6 can take approximately 260 shots (CIPA) on one battery charge.
Additional features and benefits of the DMC-LZ6 include:
Wide-Aspect VGA Motion Images: In addition to recording standard VGA (640 x 480) motion images at 30 frames per second, the DMC-LZ6 can record stunning wide-aspect VGA (848 x 480) motion images at 30 frames per second. These 16:9 motion pictures look extremely impressive on a wide-screen TV.
Five Auto Focus Modes: To match the shooting situation and subject's position, the user can select from five auto-focusing methods: 5-point, 3-point high-speed, 1-point high-speed, 1-point normal-speed, and spot. As with all powerful zoom models in the Lumix family, the DMC-LZ6 leads the industry with their short AF time, especially in the 1 point high-speed AF, achieving quick, smooth operation.
Extended Shooting with Panasonic's Oxyride AA Batteries: The DMC-LZ6 runs on two AA batteries, which can be purchased anywhere. The camera also comes with two Panasonic Oxyride AA batteries, which let you take around 65 percent more shots than you can with ordinary alkaline batteries. The Oxyride batteries let you take around 260 shots (CIPA).
More Scene Modes for More Image Options: A total of 18 scene modes, including the new Pet and Sunset modes, make it easy to get beautiful photos in a range of photographic situations. Three of the modes - Sports, Baby and Pet ? apply Panasonic's Intelligent ISO Control to help capture crisp, blur-free photos even if the subject moves as you shoot.
Fun Continues Even When the Shooting Is Done: With Direct Print mode, users simply turn the mode dial on the camera top, plus the USB cable to a Pictbridge-compatible printer, and in one push, print beautiful photos. And, with the optional Panasonic DMW-SDP1 HDTV Photo Player, it's easy to have a slide show of Lumix images in 1080i high-definition quality. It also allows playback of wide-aspect VGA (848x 480) motion images that fit an HDTV?s 16:9 screen.

Comments about Panasonic Panasonic Lumix DMC-LZ6K Digital Camera:
We just came back from a Cruise to the Bahamas. This camera was great in low light and took great photos we will treasure for ever. Meant a lady on the cruise who had one and broke it in a fall, she loved hers also. I would recommend this camera. I own 4 cameras and like this one in the top 3.

Comments about Panasonic Panasonic Lumix DMC-LZ6K Digital Camera:
Great camera for the average photographer not the professional photographer. Very easy to use and has good features for different settings bright light i.e. beaches, dim light and sporting events. Very easy to use and gives good pictures. One con is there is no instruction book explaining all the different settings. Software easy to load. Overall I would recommend this camera for those who merely want good photos of kids and family events

Comments about Panasonic Panasonic Lumix DMC-LZ6K Digital Camera:
I like the ease of use, the auto lens cap, and 6x optical capability. It is small, light, and easy to use. The menu system and erase function are very intuitive. The only draw back it the zoom control it seems to want to be all the way out or all the way in, but that could be user error. All in all I would reccomend this camera for good all around use.

Comments about Panasonic Panasonic Lumix DMC-LZ6K Digital Camera:
I have had this little camera over one year and half. I have taken it nearly everywhere with me. East coast, West coast, the Gulf and points between. I have dropped it, slung it out of my car, accidently. I have beat this thing up fairly well. Until recently, mostly cold, on the beach sandy windy days have I had some issues with it. Mostly the lens gets real goofy, and doesn't want to open all the way, or it will not focus. So I rap on it a few times. I have spit on the lens, I have clean the sand for the lens. I have had to manually open the lens cover up all the way to get a good picture. This thing has had a horrible life with me. I can not complain about it too much. I know that there has been some issues about the lens not opening correctly. But I have been so rough with it, that I dare not complain to the manufacture about it. It doesn't take the best picture in low light, but I knew that, and I know its limitations. It has been a good camera, and it is nearing the end of it 'tour' with me. I still use it, and just waiting for it to give up the ghost. This camera does what it suppose to do, but no more as far as pics good.

Comments about Panasonic Panasonic Lumix DMC-LZ6K Digital Camera:
I am a photographer by hobby and like to have a camera with me at all times. I purchased this camera because of its size and zoom capabilities, and because of the Lumix reputation - it was going to be the camera that goes with me everywhere. I own other Panasonic Lumix's and like them alot(although my DMC-FZ18 goes through battery life quickly but not as bad). This camera seems to take nice enough pictures however, the battery life is so short that I cannot get more than a few photos in at a time (10-20). I have tried several kinds of batteries with no luck. I am extremely dissappointed with this unit and will return it.

Comments about Panasonic Panasonic Lumix DMC-LZ6K Digital Camera:
I took this camera to our family Christmas gathering and put it to the test. It came through shining. The pictures were excellent. There were action shots with no hint of blurring. There were candid shots that turned out well in part due to the fact that its compact size makes it easy conceal. Overall I am very pleased with my purchase and would not hesitate to recommend this camera.

Comments about Panasonic Panasonic Lumix DMC-LZ6K Digital Camera:
I purchased this as a gift for my 85 year old father who has minimal experience with technology. His hands are shaky and that did not cause a problem with the pictures he took. The controls are simple enough that he handled them just fine. I believe it will be a great camera for him.

Comments about Panasonic Panasonic Lumix DMC-LZ6K Digital Camera:
I love this camera it takes great pictures. I only use it for fun, but for the price it has alot of the same fancy options as the expensive cameras. The zoom is great...even in digital and it does have "simple mode", so I don't have to mess with all the other settngs. Cons: It feels a little bit "cheap"...but it was only [$]. However you would never know by the quality of the pictures. Also there is video but no audio.
Comments about Panasonic Panasonic Lumix DMC-LZ6K Digital Camera:
It is a very complete product overall. It provides all the functions anyone can ask for a non-professional camera.
The only thing I am very dessapointed of is that it does not record sound in videos. I had not bought it if I would have known that...
Anyhow, I am quite satisfied with it.
Comments about Panasonic Panasonic Lumix DMC-LZ6K Digital Camera:
I bought two of these. One for my son and one for my parents. It has so much to offer for the price. Particularly the 6 X Zoom, which is not available anywhere else for a similar price. It is easy to use, takes excellent pictures. I would highly recommend it any time, and not only as a starter camera. because of its size, I often take it when I don't want to carry my bigger Panasonic Lumix 18X zoom. Excellent value! I am sold on Panasonic Lumix!

Comments about Panasonic Panasonic Lumix DMC-LZ6K Digital Camera:
It is a good camera for the price that you paid for, however quality of picture tend to diminish when there is not enough light. Even with the flash on, you will get a darkened picture.

Comments about Panasonic Panasonic Lumix DMC-LZ6K Digital Camera:
I did a lot of homework to determine the best camera to take jewelry pictures. I had actually settled on another brand until a salesperson showed me pictures with my researched camera, and the Lumix. I couldn't believe my eyes. I was so happy with the picture that i purchased the Lumix on the spot and have been a SATISFIED & HAPPY customer ever since. I will DEFINITELY buy a Lumix camera again.

Comments about Panasonic Panasonic Lumix DMC-LZ6K Digital Camera:
for spending a few more dollars,I would prefer to buy a DMC-LZ7 which my friends and I both felt that DMC-LZ7 is much better than that of a DMC-LZ6K.
Comments about Panasonic Panasonic Lumix DMC-LZ6K Digital Camera:
I purchased this camera as one to carry in my purse when I don't want to carry my large Nikon. The camera does well for the capacity that it has. It actually has a good picture quality, moreso, that I had expected it to have. I would buy it again for the above stated reasons.
Comments about Panasonic Panasonic Lumix DMC-LZ6K Digital Camera:
This is a great camera for a wide range of uses. It has lots of different modes to cover almost any lighting situation. I use this on my jobsite and it holds up to the harsh conditions of the construction site.

Comments about Panasonic Panasonic Lumix DMC-LZ6K Digital Camera:
I did a lot of research before buying this camera. I was looking for a pocket sized camera with more powerful zoom than the average 3x. Prior to the LZ7 I had a Canon Powershot S1 which took beautiful pictures but was a bit bulky to carry around comfortably. I settled on the LZ7 due to it's size and 6x zoom. I am very disappointed in the washed out quality of the pictures and have tried every which way to improve this, also shutter lag is too long between pictures.

Comments about Panasonic Panasonic Lumix DMC-LZ6K Digital Camera:
There are a lot of configurations, more than a casual user needs, but if you know a lot about photography, they will come in handy. I love the zoom and the shutter response. The batteries seem to last longer than any other digital camera I have owned. There is an odd thing about using a memory card, if you take a picture without a card, and then insert a card, you can't view the picture until you remove the card.

I bought the camera as a gift for my daughter and was supposed to get rebate for the printer. Inever got the rebate. $75 is still owed to me. Iw as also supposed to get classes and never got info on this.
Go for the larger model not this one and don't expect your rebates.

Comments about Panasonic Panasonic Lumix DMC-LZ6K Digital Camera:
I travel alot so I enjoy taking picture of my adventures. This camera offers several nice features for the price, but actually getting it to perform is another story.
Performs very poorly in low lighting, image stabilization poor, very long lag time~ almost comical. I had the camera for less than a month and the automatic lens cover would not open. Since it was under warranty, it was repaired for free (minus shipping and insurance since it must be shipped). Just a pain since I was without my new camera during this time. I do like that it offers the option of which kind of batteries and the battery life is average. It gives you plenty of warning before going completely dead, too. Takes average/good pictures.
Comments about Panasonic Panasonic Lumix DMC-LZ6K Digital Camera:
First use of the camera was on vacation- main pix were of my children "tubing" at the lake or trout fishing in the river. It has a great zoom function. Also took some great shots of both sunrise and sunset on the river. If I can use it, anyone can.

Comments about Panasonic Panasonic Lumix DMC-LZ6K Digital Camera:
I have used the Camera in New York and on holiday in Singapore and have taken some great photographs, it took me only about a week to learn how to use it I had no experiance with Digital Cameras. Being small and inconspicuous has a good zoom is great for canded photographs. I have also phographed landscapes closeup of flowers and insects with great results. More than happy with it.

Comments about Panasonic Panasonic Lumix DMC-LZ6K Digital Camera:
The greatest negative is that you have to use the flash inside(as opposed to being able to keep shutter open longer). The best attributes are the small size and the price is good for the pixels.

This is a great camera to have on location scouting trips. Video capture time is limited only by capacity of memory card. The camera is very compact and serves well as a back up to my Nikon DSLR when space or time make lens changes inconvenient but good picture resolution is required.
