4 out of 5 stars Great little zoom camera   September 4, 2008
Richard Binder (Los Angeles, USA)
I purchased this camera for my wife to use on a trip to Africa because of its zoom capability. Detail and color on pics was right on (set to bright mode). Once you learn to use all of the features (of which there are many) it is a gem! Only down side was the lack of a viewfinder. When in bright light it was hard to see image on the screen and at max zoom, hard to compose picture and hold the camera steady.


3 out of 5 stars Best features, worst picture quality!   September 3, 2008
H. Li (Washington DC, USA)

Best features:
Wide angle, 10x+ zoom, HD video recording, best screen resolution.

Worst picture quality:
In comparison to my old Canon and Casio, the picture quality is the worst especially under low light. Video quality is poor also. It is only OK under bright daylight.

I bought this because of the nice features but unaware the picture quality is so poor. Beware!
BTW, I have the latest firmware installed.




5 out of 5 stars Great option for the price and 10x ZOOM!   September 3, 2008
Jerry U. (Chicago, IL)
My cousin recommended this camera to me. It's great! for the price and options and easy to use. I am impressed with 10x zoom, dial options can be preset to specific scene, large LCD - 3", battery life is good and it is still fitting your pocket.


5 out of 5 stars The best camera I've owned.   September 3, 2008
chittydog (Bedford, TX USA)
I love this camera. The pics are clear and sharp. The video looks fantastic. The menus are intuitive and easy to navigate. I've had a Canon and a Fuji that were both inferior to this. This is also the only compact digital camera I've ever owned that never takes pics with red eyes. There are a lot of blue eyes in my family so this is pretty important to me.

The only downside is the crap capture software that Panasonic includes with it. Ironically, that is by far the worst capture software I've ever seen. Try to get your hands on a copy of Canon's ZoomBrowser instead.



5 out of 5 stars Perfect for Real Estate agents!   September 2, 2008
Michael E. Weeks (Sturbridge, MA United States)
It's wide angle lens and small size make it a perfect choice for Real Estate photo's. Interior shots are so difficult to convey the size and openess of even large rooms, and I had to retake shots of all listings after I saw what it can do. The zoom lens allows me to frame the shot, eliminating unwanted background images without changing positions. I haven't taken the camera off intelligent automatic yet, don't see a need to. Just the best camera on the market for my purposes after researching and trying them all. Get the extra battery and the leather Panasonic case with it.
