DMC-SZ8 specifications

The Panasonic DMC-SZ8 is a compact digital camera designed to deliver high-quality images with portability and ease of use. Featuring a sleek and lightweight design, the SZ8 is ideal for photographers who want to capture moments on the go without the bulk of a larger camera.

One of the standout features of the DMC-SZ8 is its powerful 12x optical zoom lens, which allows users to take stunning close-up shots while maintaining image clarity. This versatility makes it suitable for a variety of photographic situations, from landscapes to portraits. The camera also incorporates a 16-megapixel CCD sensor, enabling users to capture sharp and vibrant images with impressive detail.

The DMC-SZ8 is equipped with a 3-inch LCD screen that provides a clear and vivid display for composing shots and reviewing images.
