At A Glance

Though the lens placement and button layout take some getting used to, the boxy and durable Lumix DMC-FP8 offers a quiet and quick wide-angle lens.

Manufacturer’s Description

Showcase your style and artistic sense with an advanced compact camera and POWER O.I.S. The foldable optics in this 28mm wide-angle lens with 4.6x optical zoom enables the FP8's flat, slim design. Plus, the superb image rendering of the Leica DC lens teams up with the double corrective power of the new POWER O.I.S. to clearly capture subjects even in dimly lit areas where hand-shake often occurs.
