- Awesome!
- I had a very difficult time deciding which digital camera to choose. I wasn't sure where do begin my research. As always I read the product reviews offered by the Amazon customers. So far, I haven't regretted a single purchase. I am in love with my new panasonic lumix! At first, I thought Panasonic? but after reading the reviews I had to try it. I love all the photos that the camera takes. Even at night the picture is outstanding. I am a beginner photographer and I am still learning all the features. I even like how the camera plays back the photos with a slideshow and music. I say go with the panasonic and you will not be disappointed! The wide zoom angle is terrific and the photo face detection is very helpful! A+ Panasonic

- Quite likely to be THE BEST family camera
- My father bought this camera and I was so impressed with it during his visit that I just had to share the fact that I bought one myself. The HD video is impressive - it has almost all of the functionality of a digital camcorder because you can zoom while shooting the action! This is great for sports plays or concerts. Also... IMPORTANT update for those buying this camera... There is a firmware update to improve its auto-focus. Go to http://www2.panasonic.com/consumer-electronics/support/Drivers-and-Downloads/list-75480-Lumix+Digital+Cameras and then be sure to click on the link to get the detailed instructions for how to update your camera. I stumbled upon this info by accident and wanted to share it with you.

- Excellent versatile camera!
- Excellent quality pictures in all types of lighting, indoor, backlight, outdoor etc. Intuitive menus, good stabilization even at max zoom.
Best feature is the 28mm equivalent lens, which is very hard to find in a point and shoot digital camera. Screen appears to be excellent quality.
The only improvement I would recommend is a view finder. - 2008-09-07, 2 of 2 people found this review helpful, Rated:
- Nice Zoom but Still shutter lag is too long
- Nice camera with a great zoom. This is the main reason I purchased the camera. I just wish someone would invent a camera of this class that had a shutter that fired instantly. Battery life is not real impressive. I got about 100 to 150 pictures before the battery started to run low. I never totally depleted the battery, but had to modify my picture taking once I noticed the low battery indicator.

- Wonderful Small Camera
- I have only had this camera a short time, but my mom has had hers for almost a year & is very happy with it. Without reading the manual, I've managed to take nice photos with the help of the easy to access settings choices. In the menu there are settings for candle light, sunsets, portraits, etc. that help a lot in getting great pix.
A friend liked my camera so much that he got one for himself & quickly read the manual. He's already made night time videos that turned out very well. I need to sit down & read the booklet myself so that I can discover all the great things it can do.
Finally, I love that such a nice camera fits in my purse! - 2008-09-07, 2 of 2 people found this review helpful, Rated:
