Reviews of the Panasonic Lumix DMC-LS80 (Pink)
-
CNET Review
The Good: Optically stabilized lens; great color reproduction; can shoot widescreen video.
The Bad: Noisy, soft pictures; very slow performance.
The Bottom Line: Though it stands out as one of the least expensive digital cameras to sport optical image stabilization, the LS80's performance and pictures simply don't hold up against competing budget cameras.
