Lumix is Exceptional!
I've been using this camera for about six months and am impressed with its versatility and performance. Although it is somewhat heavy in my pocket, it fits, and I am always happy to have it with me. At this price, it is amazing to have a 10X wide angle Leica lens. This camera takes exceptional photographs
Pros: Ease of Use; 10X Wide Angle Leica Lens; Outstanding results.
Cons: Some lag time; no viewfinder.

Smart Camera
This is a great camera that is best for someone who likes preset settings and does not like to mess about with manual features. The camera is a little bulky to carry around in your pocket but not so big that it is not a worthy point and shoot. I have found this camera best for shooting at events and general snap shot moments.

Great value for money
I purchased this camera as an upgrade for my earlier Canon A95 (5.1 MP) I was really impressed with the amount of features packed into the small form factor. The 10x zoom is most impressive, and with extended zoom, 15x is possible. I have tried taking images of the same objects with maximum and extended zoom, and the difference is amazing. Picture quality reduces at the extended zoom, but that is to be expected.
One thing I was looking forward to was the wide angle, but pictures taken of landscapes with this and another non-wide-angle camera turned out pretty much the same. The images stabilization is also pretty good, with 2 modes available. This model has a host of features, but they are easy to locate and use, great for both the amateur and semi-pro photographer. All in all, a good value for the money.

Better Than Expected,Like A Compact DSLR
In May I bought a Pentax k200d DSLR off Amazon because I needed a high quality camera in which I could change lenses and do things a point & shoot won't let you do. I still love the Pentax but why they call this Panasonic a "point & shoot" baffles me, it has more menu options than my last bridge cam (a Fuji s8000fd) and the quality rivals that of my Pentax in a compact size. I only paid $164.00 on Ebay (Brand New) and it was a steal of a deal. Hard to believe the quality of shots made with the 10x zoom fully extended, it's amazing!! I also wish it had a viewfinder but the LCD does great in the sunlight if you adjust the settings right for it. Construction is top notch and shape is just right, I don't want a compact camera that is so slim where it's hard to grip and have to use just fingers and then make sure smudges don't get on your LCD screen. If this camera had been out at the same time as the Fuji (October 2007) I would have never bought the s8000fd. This camera will make a nice back up to my Pentax as it also takes movies (haven't done that mode yet) It's a winner and get it in black (actually charcoal gray) it looks nice too.

very good
The combination of number of shooting features and good quality for the price, 10 times zoom, Leica lenses, makes it probably one of the best of this category in the market.

Panasonic Digital Cameras: Lumix DMC-LZ3 and LZ5Hello, people! Today I’d like to introduce you a comparison of two Panasonic digital cameras of LZ-series.
The Panasonic Lumix DMC-LZ3 is a 5 megapixel digital camera with a 2.0 inch LCD display. The LZ5 has a 6 CCD megapixel imager and a 2.5 inch LCD screen.
The both models feature a 6x Optical Zoom lens with a built-in MEGA O.I.S.(Optical Image Stabilizer) and a High Sensitivity mode (ISO 1600), that make possible to take pictures of moving subjects and in low light situations.
The LZ3 and LZ5 spot the image stabilization system and the enhanced Sensitivity mode. These two features are essential for taking sharp and clear images in different situations.
MEGA O.I.S. is the image stabilization system that has two corrective modes. The system prevents graininess and blur caused by hand shaking. Besides, thanks to this feature, the cameras produce perfect shots even in dim light and at night and allow shooting at slow shutter speeds.
The new models have the improved ISO range, which records at up to 1600. The enhanced High Sensitivity mode reduces a handshake effect and improves images of moving subjects.
The DMC-LZ3 and LZ5 incorporates 6x optical zoom lens (equivalent to a 37 – 222 mm zoom on a 35 mm film camera), that can be extended up to 8.3x (7.5x for LZ3) in 3-Megapixel image. The Extra Optical Zoom function allows you to easily capture and magnify subjects in distant locations, as well as to take impressionable photos with soft-focused backgrounds.
The LZ3 and LZ5 models are also equipped with the Venus Engine Plus, that improves image processing in both speed and image quality. It saves energy consumption, making the battery more durable. (The DMC-LZ3 and LZ5 use 2 AA batteries).
The large 2 and 2.5 inch LCD screens are perfect for recording and composing shots as they allow the display of images even in tiny thumbnail size. Besides, the High Angle LCD function makes the cameras easy to view from bottom angle.
The LZ3 and LZ5 have 14 Scene Modes, that help you to get high quality pictures. Thanks to the Simple Mode, the cameras are very easy to use, as it makes most settings automatically. The Movie Mode with built-in microphone records in VGA size at 30 fps.
The cameras are supplied with 14 megabytes of internal memory, and there is a function that makes it possible to copy photos from the built-in memory to the SD Memory Card and vice versa.
The LZ3 is available in silver and the LZ5 – in silver and black. They measure 100 x 62 x 45 mm (3.94 x2.44 x 1.77 inch) and weigh 183g. (LZ3) and 186g (LZ5).
