Panasonic's Lumix DMC-FX78 Digital Camera is a full-featured image-making powerhouse inside the body of a tiny (3.9 x 2.17 x 0.81") compact digital camera--it has a 12.1MP high-speed CCD sensor, a 5x wide-angle Leica zoom lens (24-120mm equivalent in 35mm format) with a bright f/2.5 aperture, and a large 3.5" touch-screen LCD monitor.
Plus, full 1920 x 1080 HD video with Dolby sound, an optical image stabilizer, touch-screen control of AF, zoom, and shutter, and really fast autofocus and start-up. Superb shooting modes like Cosmetic (you can remove wrinkles in a face or give it a suntan) and Beauty Retouch (choose eye shadow, cheek and lip color, foundation, whitening teeth, clear skin, eye emphasis, and removing the shine from a face). 8 color modes give you plenty of artistic license for creativity, and you can even make 3D photos.
And when you're done creating, Lumix Image Uploader makes it simple to share your photos and movies by uploading them to sites like Facebook or YouTube.
