Budget 2011 Lumix compact — 14MP CCD with a 4x zoom.
The 2012 Panasonic Lumix DMC-S2 is the follow-up budget compact to the DMC-S1: 14.1MP, the same Leica-branded 4x zoom range, and simplified point-and-shoot operation.
It keeps the 28-112mm equivalent stabilised lens and 720p video of its predecessor with minor processing updates in the same slim shell.
Like the S1 it exists in the catalog chiefly for disambiguation from the 2019 full-frame S-series name reuse.
Used examples trade for very little; verify the lens extends cleanly and the battery still holds charge. Boxed examples with charger and manual are common enough that incomplete kits should be priced down.
