 Am a novice and I like it!Jul 17, 2010
I am a rookie...I just take the camera and click the button...thats all I can do...I dont really understand the complex settings...This camera has proved awesome for me so far...I just shift one button and it goes into video mode...The picture quality is great...both inside and outside...kind of okish during night and in low light...but I have been using it only in the auto setting...maybe I can change around some settings to get better pictures in low light...Also it looks really pretty. I think the battery life is just fine. The video quality just amazed me.Its super awesome...and even the voices are recorded perfectly. Oh I just found out these bunch of auto modes...for landscape, candlelight etc...they are just great!!!

 Buyer Beware!Jul 09, 2010
I bought this product, my third Panasonic camera. It had an optical defect from the start, so I returned it under the warrantee. I didn't think it would be a big deal.
I have now been arguing with Panasonic for over a month. They are willing to replace it only with a refurbished/used model, whose history is unknown -- and which of course I could have bought for much less than the brand new one I did buy. They refuse to budge, and are entirely unhelpful.
So if you want a new camera, pick another brand!

 Very Good Little Camera. Easy To Use. Powerful Zoom.Jul 04, 2010
This camera was purchased to replace a 10X zoom Olympus digital camera I purchased about 9 years ago. It is used for general purpose "picture taking". My goal has been achieved. The unit is reasonably compact. It fits easily into my shirt pocket. The picture quality is good even for hand held shots that utilize the zoom feature extensively. Only two problems have been noted so far. (1) The Intelligent Auto Mode does not seem to be very intelligent -- several photos taken using it were out of focus due to incorrect interpretation of the intended subject of the pictures. I use the Normal Picture mode with default settings almost exclusively at this point. The picture quality is much better. (2) The lack of a viewfinder restricts the camera's functionality in brightly lit settings. The monitor is not bright enough to rely on for framing the pictures in those situations. For those two reasons, I rate the camera with 4 stars rather than 5 stars for my purposes. I have not yet used the motion picture feature so can not comment on it.
love this cameraJun 27, 2010
The camera is very easy to use. The Intellegent Auto feature is awesome. Need a steady hand with the zoom. It is a little bit thicker than other cameras put still small enough to shove in coat pocket or purse.
