Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS30 Preview

The new and improved 18-megapixel HS MOS image sensor, combined with a new Venus Engine processor, help the camera capture high resolution JPEG images along with full HD AVCHD 1080 60p video.
If that's not enough to get you excited, the ZS30 has a few more cards up its sleeve. One of which is built-in 802.11 b/g/n Wi-Fi, allowing you to wirelessly connect the camera to you PC, or any iOS or Android powered smart phone or tablet. They've even created a free Panasonic Image App, which allows you to use your smart device as a live viewfinder, and control the camera's zoom and shutter release; for the ultimate self or group portraits. Lastly, the ZS30 offers a new Near Field Communication (NFC) functionality which allows it to automatically recognize the settings of your internet enabled Wi-Fi device, with one simple tap. They claim this will help streamline the process of saving, sending, and sharing your photos.
