Short Description

Largest Digital Camera Display

The Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX78 is one of the largest screen digital cameras available with a 3.5" screen.

The screens size refers to the size of the digital camera's display, the size of the screen is important because it acts as a primary control on your camera. The display screen is used for 3 groups of functions: viewing the photo you want to take, previewing photos you've already taken and finally, editing and controlling the camera options.

The larger the screen size the easier all three tasks will be. A bigger screen means you can see the detail more easily when composing photos, makes reviewing photos and showing them more enjoyable and finally helps ensure the camera menus are larger and more readable.
