Razor-sharp in good light if held still; okay in low light; extra-wide
As others say -- very portable and versatile (esp. extra-wide) and capable of taking
amazingly sharp pictures in good light. Image stabilization works well, but for extra
sharpness, prop camera against support (I have a 12x picture of 5 people at > 1 mile distance
and you can see what they're wearing.) So far, results in low light (restaurant)
without flash are fairly poor; I've limited autoISO to 400. Small sensor can only
do so much. The processing (computation) is amazing -- corrects all distortions
and aberrations. For scenery, bracketing exposures and post-processing with HDR image
fusion software makes this almost a mid-range SLR in a tiny silent device.

Great camera...but fragile construction
First, I have to say I love this camera. I didn't purchase it for its camera function however, I purchased it to be able to have a portable HD video solution with superior optics (as compared to the "digital" only zooms of many of the other single purpose HD handhelds), one that I could easily have with me and whip out to record whenever and wherever an opportunity presented itself.
And that that end, for a non-enthusiast like me, it works very well: 720P, stereo mic, wide angle lens, great optical zoom (which can be used while filming) and optical stabilization coupled with short turn-on time and flash memory is a real winner for me.
Or it was anyway: about three weeks into ownership, I went to grab to use it and when I turned it on, I saw that the LCD screen had cracked rendering it unreadable. The unit suffered no drop or bump whatsoever, and was inside so cold wasn't a factor. In fact, just to stave off this from happenning, I had purchased and installed an optical glass screen protector which was placed on the unit when I unpacked it. Sigh.
Of course, there's no way to prove a negative of course (save the camera itself which has no visible damage that would indicate it suffered any kind of impact); I've been so bitter that I've left it alone since this happened (over a month ago now), bitter because I'm sure this is "my fault" warranty-wise.

LOVE my Lumix
Perfect camera for those who are not pro photographers but still want to be able to take amazing pics. The presets are fabulous and finally you can take flattering portraits of people that aren't so HD that you see each pore on someones face! Just nice pics, great color and great presets. Plus the size is great. You can take the kind of quality pics you would by bringing a huge Canon or Nikon but this just fits in your bag. Bigger than the Canon elph but not by too much. Also, takes great low light pics. That's a huge plus!

Warning !!! Poor Indoor Picture Quality. Do Not Wast Your Money!!!
Most of the indoor photographs taken by this camera are blurred, out-of-focus, colorless, dark, poorly contrasted with poor sharpness. The flash does not produce very good light and there is a gap of time between the two flash cycles when the camera is set for red-eye reduction. This causes a majority of the pictures, taken indoors, to be of poor quality as described above.
The camera has several nice physical features such as the zoom, automatic settings, ease of use, portability, LCD screen etc. However, if the final product (developed pictures on the computer and on prints) are poor, then what good are the nice features. Panasonic still has alot to learn about making a camera that can take good indoor photographs before attempting to sell cameras like these on the market.
Do not waste your money on this camera. Panasonic needs to get the message from their customers that they need to assure all around performace quality before putting a camera like this on the market.

Panasonic Cameras HistoryPanasonic Corporation (formerly known as Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd.) is a multinational corporation based in Kadoma, Japan.
Panasonic was founded in 1918 by Konosuke Matsushita. The company was first selling duplex lamp sockets.
In 1931 began the production of radios. But earlier, in 1927, it produced a bicycle lamp, and it was their first product marketed under the brand name National – meaning for people, for nation. The production of road and touring bicycles and their components composed a substantial portion of the goods manufactured by National/Panasonic Corporation from 1945 through the end of the 1980s.
In 1955, the company labeled its export audio speakers "PanaSonic", which was the first time it used its "Panasonic" brand name. This name was created from the elements "pan" meaning "all" combined with "sonic" meaning "sound”.
After Konosuke Matsushita traveled to the United States in 1961, Panasonic began producing television sets for the U.S. market under the Panasonic brand name, and expanded the use of the brand to Europe in 1979. The company began opening its plants around the world. It quickly developed a reputation for its reliable products - televisions, radios, and home appliances.
In the 1980-s, Panasonic continued to produce <... More About Panasonic Cameras |
