Product Information for the PAN-CAM-DMC_SZ1EBK-BK

The DMC-SZ1 features powerful 10x optical zoom LEICA DC lens from 25mm ultra wide-angle that fits in the slim, compact body (35mm camera equivalent: 25-250mm). The new lens system makes the unit's overall length short to fit in the slim body despite its versatile zoom range from ultra wide to telephoto. The 10x optical zoom increases its power to 20x equivalent with the Intelligent Zoom function. This is an extensive zoom function using digital zoom with minimum deterioration of image quality thanks to the Intelligent Resolution technology.

With DMC-SZ1, there are two options to record spur-of-the-moment scenes 16.1-megapixel high-resolution photos and HD videos. In still image recording, the Sonic Speed AF helps to catch even the most fleeting photo opportunities. In video recording, the DMC-SZ1 can record HD (1280 x 720) videos in MP4 format. This format has high compatibility with computers. A separate button lets you instantly start recording video without the need of extra settings. The 10x optical zoom is available in video recording.

The MEGA O.I.S. compensates for blurring caused by hand-shake. Even slight hand-shake movement is accurately detected by a sampling frequency of 4,000 times per second, and compensated to produce sharp, clear images. The Venus Engine controls the shifting of the blur-stopping lens to further increase the detection accuracy and correction effect of MEGA O.I.S.. It works for zoom shots and macro shots, which are especially susceptible to hand-shake, and lets you shoot in dimly lit rooms or evening illumination without losing the mood.

The DMC-SZ1 features a 16.1-megapixel high-resolution CCD. Combined with the Venus Engine, 16.1-megapixel CCD sensor enables the recording of beautiful photos and high-definition videos with higher quality signal processing.

The Miniature Effect Mode in which the peripherals are defocused while saturation and contrast is emphasized to make the picture looks like a diorama. The video recorded in this mode is played back in 10x fast-forwarding making it more comical to watch. The Panorama Shot in the Scene Mode makes it possible to shoot horizontal / vertical panoramic images by overlaying consequently shot images. The Auto Retouch function adjusts contrast and brightness to give different impression to the photo with just a press of a button.

Service rating : Bought this to replace same camera from another source which turned out to be a 'grey import'. Here everything was 'proper', good phone help and v prompt delivery. V happy customer.
Product : Bought this to replace the former Panasonic which hadn't survived washing in an overall pocket. Early days using it but personally disappointed with the macro element, given the pixels thought it would be brilliant not just ok - trying to show miniature orchid up close.

Service rating : good on phone, good on delivery. A little late in telling us time of delivery,. ie up at 7 to be ready for earliest posssible, but did not get detail of slot until 9.
Bought from ad. in coop magazine. then looked up details of product on internet then tried to order on internet, but it did not recognise my discount code. The picture in the ad was black, and I had tried to order a blue one. Was this inadmissible and was that the reason for non-recognition of the code? (ie was the code restricted to black?) so i turned to the phone which was fine. The colour was not mentioned and I received a black one, but the exact colour was not really of great importance to me
Product : fine. like a lot of stuff such as i pad and i phone, the instruction manual is limited and you need to download from the internet if you want the advanced stuff. but that is the way they do it nowadays.

Poor
Service rating : Service was good. The refund was a little confusing as it was described as a credit note. This caused me to have to phone again to confirm that it was in fact a refund and not a credit note. That was the only negative.
Product : The item was not of the expected quality
Thank you for your feedback on feefo.

Thank you for highlighting this point on the refund advice e-mail. I will pass this information on to our payments manager. I am also very sorry that the camera proved to be faulty and you had to return it to us.

I hope this experience has not deterred you from using our services in the future.

Kind Regards,

Simon Collins.
