even more tools for enhancing their photos such as fine tuning the exposure
by independently adjusting the overall brightness, shadows, and highlights or
creating more vivid, lifelike images by simply boosting the contrast and saturation.
Plus iCorrect OneClick offers special effects like black & white and sepia
tone with professional results.

Plug-in compatible with Photoshop 7, & CS, CS2, Photoshop Elements 2-5,

The Panasonic DMC-L1 DSLR is Panasonic's first digital single lens reflex camera. Priced at just under $2000 with a Leica D Vario Elmarit f/2.8-3.5 14-50mm zoom lens (equivalent to 28-100mm in 35mm format) and 7+ megapixel sensor, it is a member of the Four/Thirds family. That allows you to use any lens from the Olympus and Sigma 4/3 mount offerings on the camera as well. It uses SD cards, and takes the newest SDHC cards with greater storage capacity. And the Leica lens uses Panasonic's OIS (optical image stabilization) that helps you get steady shots in two to three less stops of light than usual when shooting handheld. The body also has a Live View mode similar to the feature found in Olympus' recent DSLRs.
