 Wonderful Small Camera September 7, 2008
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!
Panasonic Lumix September 6, 2008
Great camera for the price. Small enough to be compact yet still has a great zoom. Large LCD screen. I took this camera with me abroad and the charger worked just fine with a plug adapter. I found the flash to work just fine as well in the dark outside and in some bars/nightclubs. The different settings/modes are worth a look at, especially the one for sunsets. Overall extremely satisfied with this purchase.
Impressive September 6, 2008
What can be said that hasn't already? This little number takes impressive photos right out of the box, with little learning curve. Outdoor photos tend to be the best--indoor photos can tend to be too dim, especially if flash isn't used. There is also a slight lag when taking photos indoors if the ISO max 400 feature is used. The zoom is very impressive--took pictures of a hot air balloon miles away and I could see the people in the basket. Battery life is averge--around 300 pics. Buy along with a large-capacity SDHC card and you're set! No regrets with this purchase for sure! Buy now, and enjoy this camera.
 Great little zoom camera September 4, 2008
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.
 Best features, worst picture quality! September 3, 2008

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.
