This 7.2 megapixel camera is good for those who want a simple, easy to use automatic but are interested in more creative portrait-picture taking with a massive 6 times optical zoom for everything from small groups to creative portraiture to getting better shots of subjects a bit further away while travelling. Undoubtedly its next most remarkable feature is the inclusion of Panasonic’s mega optical image stabiliser which allows the camera to compensate for camera shake and take sharp pictures even in lower light with slower shutter speeds. It also has a macro mode capable of taking pictures from as close as 5cm and a 1250ISO (light sensitivity) expandable to 3200.

The Digimax S700 is great for family use and for anyone wanting ease and convenience. Its 7.2 million pixel CCD and high-precision 3x optical zoom mean that tip-top image quality is assured and an additional 5x digital zoom offers even more telephoto power.

Offering features useful to the entire family; the camera offers a crystal-clear 2.4-inch LCD and a 3x optical zoom in both still and movie modes. In addition to its optical zoom; the S500 provides a 5x digital zoom; achieving a total zoom of 15x when used together.
