Panasonic Lumix DMC-LZ8 announcement clippings

Featured in the 8.1 megapixel LZ8, the multi-task image-processing engine - Venus Engine IV - supports a super-fast response time. The shutter release time lag is as short as 0.005 second and the camera's quick response makes it easier to capture sudden, spur-of-the-moment photo opportunities. In burst shooting mode, the LZ8 can snap 2.5 shots per second at full resolution. And in High-Speed Burst shooting mode, it fires off an incredible 5.5 shots per second. You also get unlimited consecutive shooting, which lets you keep shooting until the memory card is full.
