okay

"The picture quality under low light is bad, you can see blue spots allover the photo unless you use flash light. Supposely it can take really good picture of moving object, but it doesn't. The "Hight Speed Burst" can take lots of pictures in seconds, but the quality is poor, its really blurry no matter which option you choose (speed/image priority). It does take great outdoor pictures (or any place with sun li..." Read Full Review »

Good, but a bit disappointing

"I take this camera on the road when traveling. Wanted a very easy, uncomplicated camera, which I thought this would be.

Great camera

5.0

"Lumix has everything I want in a point and shoot. First and foremost is the responsive zoom lens, that quickly goes from wide angle to telephoto. Sometimes a little too quickly so I'd have to back it up a bit, but I'd rather have that problem than something that responds too slowly.

"The camera is built very well. Everything feels solid. The tripod mount is metal unlike in most P&S which is plastic. The viewfinder is large. I do not mind having a viewfinder, because I would hardly use it anyway. The picture quality is quite good, at least in normal lighting situations. And I lik …" Read Full Review »

"This camera is decent. Compared to my last one, it's great. The zoom is great for the price. The quality is also good for the price. My only complaint is that when you're taking a video, if you zoom in or out, the sound shuts off. I had the same problem with my last camera so I didn't mind so much w …" Read Full Review »
