Panasonic Intros its First Wi-Fi Camera, the LUMIX DMC-TZ50
Panasonic this week introduced its first Wi-Fi enabled Lumix camera, the Panasonic LUMIX DMC-TZ50. The 9.1-megapixel TZ50 has a 10x optical zoom and comes with a year of free Wi-Fi access at T-Mobile HotSpot locations, specifically for the purpose of uploading photos to Google's Picasa Web Albums.
"It's also possible to browse your online library direct from the camera, a neat antidote for those people who never upload their pictures to a computer and always use the camera itself for slideshows," notes Wired's Charlie Sorrel.
"The Panasonic LUMIX TZ50 also incorporates Panasonic's Intelligent Auto (iA) mode that automatically control exposure, red-eye correction, camera shake, ISO settings, Scene modes, face detection and focus control," writes Pocket-lint's Stuart Miles.
The Panasonic LUMIX DMC-TZ50S (S for silver) will be released in May, at a retail price of $449.95.
