The Panasonic Lumix LS80 is an entry-level compact digital and a “camera without pretence” that nevertheless boasts the kind of mechanical anti-shake image stabilisation normally reserved for high-end models, a review has said.

Technology site CNET. com said the camera’s optically-stabilised lens “stands out” as its best feature, while its built-in Mega Optical Image Stabilisation system sensor-shifts elements of the lens to compensate for camera shake.

It also features an eight megapixel resolution, a 2.5-inch LCD screen and 30 frames-per-second movie mode.

The Panasonic Lumix LS80 is also “comfortably small and light”, measuring 31mm deep and weighing in at 177 grams including SD card and batteries.

“Its relatively slim profile design lets it fit easily into most pockets,” the review stated.

According to the company, the Panasonic Lumix LS80 is also designed with features intended to make it “easy to capture perfect images”, such as intelligent ISO control, auto-macro mode and quick autofocus.

The Panasonic Lumix LS80 is available in the UK from around £99.99.
