Panasonic Entry-Level Lumix Point-and-Shoots Get Priced

Since Panasonic’s slew of entry-level point-and-shoots hasn’t received all that much attention during CES 201, the Japanese camera maker is now back with another announcement trying to get these into the spotlight.

This time, the press release comes packed full of pricing and availability details, since this sort of info was missing from the official announcement.

To make a long story short, all of the cameras, five in total, are set to ship this March with pricing starting at $109.99 (about 83 EUR) for the Lumix DMC-S2, while the high-end Lumix DMC-SZ7 is priced at $199.99 (151 EUR).

The other three point-and-shoots are the Lumix DMC-FH6, FH8 and the DMC-SZ1, which will hit the streets for $129.99, $149.99 and $179.99, respectively.

Specs wise, all these feature HD video recording capabilities as well as Panasonic's powerful iA mode, so these should be more than OK for casual photographers.
