About the Panasonic Lumix DMC-LS5
The Panasonic Lumix DMC-LS5, released in July 2011, has a 1/2.33-inch CCD sensor of about 14 megapixels and a 5x optical zoom spanning 26-130 mm in 35mm terms at F2.8-6.5. The 26 mm wide end and the F2.8 opening make it comfortable for interiors and close group shots.
It runs on two AA batteries, with NiMH recommended, which means spares are easy to find on a trip. The body is 97 x 62 x 27 mm and weighs 126 g. A 2.7-inch monitor handles framing and review, and SD, SDHC and SDXC cards are supported. The aperture closes to F6.5 at telephoto, so the long end suits daylight best. With a 1/2.33-inch sensor and 14 megapixels on offer, it is a straightforward everyday camera rather than a specialist tool.
Buying one used
This model uses two AA batteries, and NiMH cells are recommended. Check the battery compartment contacts for corrosion. Storage is SD, SDHC or SDXC. Run the 5x lens through its range and inspect the 2.7-inch screen.
