Key Advantages

The LZ2’s 6-megapixel sensor delivers high-resolution photos with good color accuracy and detail for its time.

The 3x optical zoom offers flexibility for various framing and composition needs without loss of image quality.

Its manual exposure controls provide advanced users with creative photographic options beyond full auto modes.

The camera body is compact and user-friendly, making it accessible for casual photographers.

Macro mode allows close-up photography down to a few centimeters from the subject, expanding creative possibilities.

Uses standard SD cards for storage, making it easy to find compatible memory cards.

Limitations

The absence of image stabilization can lead to motion blur under certain shooting conditions, especially in low light.

The ISO range tops at 320, which may limit performance in very low light environments compared to modern cameras.

The LCD screen is relatively small and low resolution based on contemporary standards.

No video recording capabilities are included, restricting multimedia use.

The startup and shot-to-shot times may feel slower compared to newer models, impacting quick shooting scenarios.

Lacks advanced connectivity options such as Wi-Fi or USB charging that are common in more recent devices.
