Panasonic Reveals Pricing for 2011 Lumix Cameras

It's fun speculating about all the exciting gear you're going to buy, but at some point the real world sets in and we have to look at pricing. Panasonic has finally revealed that info for their 2011 line of cameras.

You won't find much variation in the price of the DMC-ZS10, DMC-ZS8, DMC-TS3 and DMC-FX78. They all hover somewhere between the $300 and $400 dollar mark.

The ZS8, comes in at $299 while its bigger brother the ZS10 - complete with a touchscreen LCD, a built-in GPS, HD video recording and a 24mm wide angle lens will run you $399.

The TS3 also costs $399, and adds a rugged design and useful features for outdoor shooters. It boasts a compass, a barometer, an altimeter and a waterproof design that gives you 40 feet of depth to work with.

Panasonic's FX78 is right in the middle, at a price of $349. That gets you a Leica DC Vario-Summarit 24mm ultra-wide lens with a 5x optical zoom, and a touchscreen LCD with plenty of interesting new controls.

All four models will be available later this month. See our preview of each camera by clicking on the model numbers above.
