The Panasonic Lumix DMC-LS5 is a simple digital compact from Panasonic's budget LS series, released in late 2011 and notable for running on ordinary AA batteries rather than a proprietary lithium-ion pack.
It uses a 14.1-megapixel CCD sensor sized around 1/2.33 inch, a 5x optical zoom lens starting at a 26mm equivalent wide angle with a maximum aperture around f/2.8, a 2.7-inch LCD with 230,000 dots, 720p HD movie recording, and storage to SD/SDHC/SDXC cards, powered by two AA cells rated for roughly 310 shots on rechargeable NiMH.
The AA battery format sets it apart from most contemporary compacts, letting owners buy replacement batteries anywhere rather than sourcing a discontinued proprietary charger, at the cost of a slightly bulkier grip.
Used prices are low given its entry-level positioning; check the battery compartment contacts for corrosion, confirm the zoom lens extends smoothly, and test that the camera powers on reliably with fresh AA cells before buying.
