Features & Controls The all-glass aspherical Lumix DC VARIO ELMARIT 6x zoom lens is equivalent to a 37-222mm zoom on a 35mm camera. It has a F2.8 to F4.5 maximum aperture. This lens is constructed of 8 elements in 7 Groups (2 Aspherical Lenses.) No lens cap is needed, a built-in shutter protects
An average camera that produces some nice shots, but is marred by minor problems.
Announced just in time for PMA (February 2005), the Lumix DMC-LZ2 (and the 4 megapixel LZ1 launched simultaneously) is a major upgrade to the DMC-LC80 that doubles the lens reach (now a 6x optical) and throws in Panasonic's proven Mega Optical Image stabilization to boot. Other significant changes include a larger 2.0-inch (though lower resolution) screen, 14MB of internal memory and boosted burst mode and battery life. All this, and the price - at around $277 on the street - is well below its predecessor, and firmly at the 'entry-level' end of the market. Here's a quick run-down of the headline specification:

Panasonic's 5-megapixel DMC-LZ2 - and its 'sister' the 4-megapixel LZ-1 (RRP $549) - are unusual in combining a moderately long zoom lens with a compact, point-and-shoot style body. The lens takes roughly two seconds to extend when the camera is switched on and packs away when it's turned off. The Mega O.I.S. stabilisation has two modes - continuous and standby - and can be switched off to conserve power when the camera is tripod-mounted.
