New Lumix cameras coming your way soon

It looks like four of the new Lumix cameras announced at the recent PMA tradeshow in Las Vegas will be making its debut in Singapore very soon.

Enter the new FS family, designed to cater to shooters looking for ease of use when operating a camera. The FS3 (S$399) and FS5 (S$499) will sport manual shutter speed and aperture controls for you to exercise your creativity.

The LZ8 (S$349) and LZ10 (S$449) have certain similar features to the two new FS-camera, but run on two x AA batteries instead.

The LCD on all four cameras will adjust its brightness according to the environment you are in, so you won't have to squint when looking at the screen under the sun.

Though there may not seem to be any major upgrades, it is still worthwhile to keep a lookout for them. After all, all Lumix cameras come with the legendary Leica optics while the ease of use of the camera, has won them a share of followers.

According to Panasonic, these four shooters will be available by February. For readers outside Singapore, we'll try to update you when we get specific dates.
