Hot Bod

Looking for a camera body with soul? Look no further than the Panasonic DMCG3K Body. This DSLR camera has a LCD touchscreen that automatically enables AF tracking in both still and video moves, so that your subject will be instantly in focus and ready to photograph. Even the shutter can be triggered from the touch-screen by simply touching the subject you want focused and captured. Users can look at either the LCD screen or a traditional eyelevel viewfinder that projects a high resolution 1.44m-dot image with 100% depth of field. The Lumix G3 also shoots 1080/60i High Definition video using the AVCHD format, which includes a stereo microphone, noise reduction controls, and L/R audio meter display for controlling audio levels. A mini-HDMI cable included with the camera allows captured HD video to be played on an HD-compatible television. Burst shooting enables users to capture 16-megapixel images at up to 4 frames per second with mechanical shutter enabled, or an even faster 20 frames per second using the electronic shutter feature at a reduced resolution of 4- megapixels. Using Panasonic's new Photo Style Mode, users can enhance pictures by color or exposure. The exposure enhancement settings include: Contrast, Sharpness, Saturation and Noise Reduction. Color effects include: Standard, Vivid, Natural, Monochrome, Scenery, Portrait and Custom.
