Simply set the 10.1-megapixel DMC-FS5 to iA mode and let the four Intelligent Auto functions team up to help prevent shooting errors.Intelligent Scene Selector chooses the mode that best fits the situation;MEGA Optical Image Stabilization (O.I.S.) helps prevent blurring from hand-shake;Intelligent ISO Control helps prevent motion blur;and Face Detection helps produce clear portraits by optimizing the focus and exposure settings.The 30mm wide-angle Leica DC Vario-Elmar lens with 4x optical zoom takes wider shots than an ordinary 35mm lens.This is helpful in small rooms or crowded places,for example,letting you fit more people into a group photo.There's also an Easy Zoom button on the camera top-just press it,and the optical zoom and Extra Optical Zoom instantly extend to full telescopic position.This quick zooming lets you catch even fleeting opportunities.With its two basic settings-shoot and play-the FS5 is easy enough for anybody to use.Panasonic has also minimized the number of fine settings that need to be made with the cursor button and easy-to-understand settings menu.The brightness and contrast of the large 2.5" diagonal LCD adjust automatically in 10 steps as ambient light conditions change,so images are clear,bright and easy to see day or night,indoors or outdoors.In Hi-Speed Burst mode,you can snap off a lightning-fast six shots per second.This makes it easier to catch the perfect action shot of a fast-moving subject.

Comments about Panasonic Panasonic DMC-FS5S 10.1MP Digital Camera, Silver:

Normally a digital SLR user, I purchased this camera because I can easily fit it in my purse or backpack when I'm on the go. The small size and ease of use in auto mode are great for taking quick snaps. I am also a teacher and tend to do a lot of portraiture, taking photos of my students in class. Backgrounds end up very dark in portrait mode.

Overall, it's a great point-and-shoot...it's got a lot of bells and whistles! Versatility in settings is nice for someone who isn't a novice, but this is definitely not one you should give to someone as a first camera. Great value for the price and I'd stick with this one over the F20...the only difference is the size of the LCD screen.
