Understanding the incredibly fast leaps in technology today and looking at some of the current top quality point-and-shoot digital cameras, it’s not hard to grow accustomed to expecting incredible advances in a compact digital camera. The Panasonic DMC-ZS9 14.1MP Digital Camera doesn’t disappoint when it comes to these expectations. LUMIX ZS’s versatile and sophisticated lens system has always been its hallmark, so it was only fitting the same lens would be redeveloped for the Panasonic DMC-ZS9 in both technological and optical design.

The 25mm extra wide-angle lens makes it possible for even the novice photographer using the DMC-ZS5 to shoot photos that are twice as big as photos produced from a conventional 35mm lens. No more scrunching everyone into those tight family photos because, now, everyone can stand at a comfortable distance apart and still get their entire body captured within the scene without difficulty. The DMC-ZS5 uses a lens that’s actually 12x optical zoom, which provides a much more natural appearance in photos of objects that are a distance away.

It’s designed with a new technology called Intelligent Resolution, which automatically extends zoom ratio to 1.3 3x, and this essentially transforms the 12x optical zoom to an equivalent of 16x. Additional Optical Zoom further boosts zoom power to 23.4 4x. The image is zoomed in to as close as a three megapixel range by the intelligent device in the center of the CCD. Simply put, if you’re a nature-lover, you’ll love capturing incredibly sharp and crisp zoom images of animals even from quite a distance.

Panasonic DMC-ZS9 holds about 40mb of memory and is compatible with SD, SDXC and SDHC memory. It also is capable of recording HD video at thirty fps. The camera is compact and incredibly mobile. The user need not worry about dragging around heavy camera equipment, as it’s also extremely lightweight. It’s very versatile and can easily fit into a coat pocket without noticeable bulges, which makes it easy to catch those unexpected once-in-a-lifetime moments that always manage to slip away because of those out of reach cameras.

The variety of features and easy to use interface on the Panasonic DMC-ZS9 14.1MP Digital Camera gives people a high degree of creative control and flexibility. It’s perfect for anyone, and will turn even the most novice photographer into a professional one, with each high quality photo looking like it was taken in a professional studio.
