 maybe there are better cameras July 3, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
This camera takes very good photos in the day, but awful photos at night. What I didn't like about this camera, is that you will need a tripod to take pictures if you are taking photos without flash or in an ambient with poor light, because your are going to get awful pictures.
When you take pictures and you watch them on the display, you think they look beautiful, but when you download to the computer, you will see that some are shaken.
Look for another camera. I am very sure that there are better than this one.
Good only while it lasts March 27, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I had been very pleased with this camera until it suddenly developed oil spots on the interior of the lens. I was instructed by Panasonic to send it in for repairs. After 3 weeks I finally received my camera back in good working condition only to have the oil spots appear again two weeks later. At that point I requested a replacement but was informed by Panasonic that my only recourse was to continue to send it back for repairs. Unacceptable. I would strongly urge all considering this product, or any Panasonic product, to think long and hard before taking the plunge as, my experience has been that the company will not stand behind their product.
 Disappointing Performance February 23, 2008
0 out of 1 found this review helpful
I recently purchased this camera through amazon. If I were to purchase again, I would probably choose the comparable Sony or Canon model. While I appreciated the Japanese quality of the camera, the performance left much to be desired: my first outing with the camera was to a high school dance that I had organized, and I could see nothing through the digital viewfinder--there is no standard window viewfinder--and this inability to see anything, mixed with focusing and color problems, led to horrible photos. I also found the camera's function controls, as well as the bundled software, to be very non-intuitive, with a large number of commands required for navigation. I do not recommend this camera for general purpose use, particularly among buyers who may wish to take photos in darker environments and/or do not want to spend great amounts of time reading and rereading the user's guide to ensure proper functioning of the camera.
 Very Nice Quality February 8, 2008
I bought this camera about a month ago, so far it has been very good to me. It takes really nice quality photos. The battery lasts a really long time. I take pictures of pets a lot and its very hard to get one with them sitting still, and it's hard to use a flash because pets get really bad red-eye. But this camera has a specific setting for pets! There are so many different settings i haven't even discovered them yet. I think this camera could make anyone a great photographer. I totally recommend it.
 Great pictures, little worried about durability February 8, 2008

I am loving the quality of pictures on this camera. The pictures are beautiful. I also love the many different picture options available that are pre-programmed into the camera.
After about 4 months of use, the flash died while I was in Mexico on vacation. I heard a small pop right as I tried to take a picture. As it was under warranty, I sent the camera into Panasonic (I had to pay shipping) and they fixed it and sent it back in 2 weeks.
So, while I love practically everything about this camera, I worry that it is not durable enough to last a long time. I don't think I am too rough with it.
