Great price for a good camera

"Also having a Canon Rebel, I purchased the Lumix to have a second, more compact "easy" camera for taking quick snapshots of the kids and when we're out and about and don't want a bulky SLR with us. So far I've really enjoyed it and I LOVE the movie mode! I've become quite the movie enthusiast, and upload my movies to Google Video now for easy sharing. Lumix shoots great movies, though the file sizes are HUGE (ru..." Read Full Review »

Almost there

"I use this camera for on the go shooting-family events and travel. The camera works pretty good on intelligent mode. Almost dead on with exposure and such. I wish it had fill flash and an easy way to know what your exposure is and change the shutter speed quickly...." Read Full Review »

"Absolutely perfect, small, handy, make great pictures. Just came back from India, shot 500 pictures. So happy with it that I bought a second one and offered it to my father, a professional photographer so that he can keep this very small camera in his shirt pocket. He loves it. "

I've tried them all. Nikons, Canons, Fuji - and the Panasonic FS5K has been by far the best point and shoot. Excellent quality imaging, construction and easy-to-follow interface design mak …"  Read Full Review »

"As a Canon junky (well, not anymore), I was a little reluctant to purchase this, but based on the reviews, I'm glad I did. As a great second camera, I couldn't be more pleased. My previous point-and-shoots were Canons, and they both died prematurely.

"Normally a digital SLR user, I purchased this camera because I can easily fit it in my purse or backpack when I'm on the go. The small size and ease of use in auto mode are great for taking quick snaps. I am also a teacher and tend to do a lot of portraiture, taking photos of my students in class. …"  Read Full Review »
