“The Panasonic Lumix LS2 is a budget digital camera from Panasonic, but it is very difficult to see where they have “compromised” in any way to reduce the price - the only missing features appear to be the lack of sound on videos and the smaller than average 2″ screen. Despite the budget price, Panasonic produce a very good camera, providing optical image stabilisation, an orientation sensor, custom white balance, features rarely seen on budget models. The camera also produces excellent image quality, with good dynamic range, detail and sharpness, along with very good, accurate, life-like colours with high saturation. The camera is very easy to use with a normal / auto mode, numerous scene modes and a “Simple” mode. If you want a camera with manual controls then this isn’t it, but if you want a budget point and snap camera that’s full of features, and capable of taking great photos, then the Panasonic Lumix LS2 is recommended!”

That’s the concluding words at DigicamReview site in their Panasonic Lumix DMC-LS2 Review.

The Panasonic Lumix DMC-LS2 features a 5-megapixel CCD, 3x optical zoom lens with MEGA Optical Image Stabilization, and a 2-inch color LCD. This easy to use compact digital camera takes great pictures and is priced so that it’s affordable for all consumers. It is also very affordable and easy-to-use. Image quality is average and on the noisy side. It would be suitable for entry-level and first-time digital camera users who will be mostly printing at 4×6 in. and displaying for the Web. To many, the very effective Image Stabilizer will be the main selling point: it helps avoid blurred pictures due to camera shake.
