Panasonic Lumix DMC-LZ1Is a conventional digital camera like the 4 megapixel Panasonic LUMIX DMC-LZ1 (pictured) “better” than other kinds of camera, like cameraphones, PDAs and camcorders. Find out in DPNow’s interesting take on the current market.

“There has been a lot of talk about conventional digital cameras coming under threat from improving hybrids, like camera phones, PDAs with cameras and camcorders with still photo capability. Indeed, I’m of the firm opinion that some time in the future, perhaps as close as 2-3 years, most new consumer digital cameras will be dual-function still and video cameras that will produce prints up to A4 size at a quality we’d be satisfied with, plus camcorder quality video.”
