Lumix FZ-30 equipped with Panasonic Venus Engine 2 : The Panasonic Lumix series took a major evolutionary step this summer with its new Venus Engine 2 LSI. Aptly called the heart of the camera, the new LSI greatly raises the level of performance over previous Lumix models. Shigeo Sakaue, manager of the DSC Business and Development Center, describes it like this, "Panasonic digital still cameras have three main features: a high-power zoom lens, Mega OIS (optical image stabilizer), and high image quality. Venus Engine 2 is a signal processing LSI that handles the crucial role of producing high image quality. The Venus Engine II development concept; Higher Image Quality + Higher Speed - was the same as that of the original Venus Engine.
