This camera is capable of such amazing quality photos. My mom is an artist and bought this camera to take pictures of her artwork and art subjects because it takes "true color" photographs, meaning the color that comes out in the pictures was the actual color she saw with her own eyes. For a camera that only has 5megapixals ()., the photos come out with such clarity and accurate color and shadows. I can take professional quality pictures that are sometimes up to par with my friends' $1000 professional cameras. Many other cameras at similar price wash out the color a lot or make the picture look very grainy. I love this camera.
Regular (non-zoom) photos are OK but lighting, focus, and stability can often be a challenge. Unfortunately, the photo quality using the zoom is very poor (extreme blurriness), making it virtually unusable for that purpose. We were drawn to this camera due to the 10X zoom and many favorable reviews. Even at regular settings, I've never had a camera that produces so many blurry photos. No doubt our results would be better using a tripod, but if I wanted to carry around a lot of equipment I'd buy an SLR instead of a compact. Since the 10X zoom is of no use, I would have been better off buying a better camera with less zoom but that is smaller and that has more megapixels for the same price. While the camera sometimes performs well, occasionally it inexplicably refuses to focus and the flash seems erratic. After a couple of years of frustration and very inconsistent results, I am shopping for another camera.
Digital Cameras have come a Long way since thier First release on the market. I myself won't be too "fussy" with the Image Qualty for the simple fact that I purchased this gem at Ritz Camera on Clearance for[.].
HOwever, relating back to my title, Got Light. This Camera is Certaintly not the "Low Light KIng of Compact Digit Cameras.
I do not recommend purchasing this Camera for Outstanding picture qualty. Well if you have Light shinning on your Subject or Background, then you can get Pretty good shoots out of this Revelutionary Camera.
The OIS system and Extra long Zoom should be your Main reason and deciding factor for purchasing this Outstanding Camera. This camera could have better audio but having mono tone audio is better then no audio at all on a Camera.
This Panasonic Camera definatly proves that.
I have had this camera for almost 3 years now and I have put it through hell. I have had 3 other digital camera's and have used many more and this one is the best. I am in the military, I take it snow boarding, have dropped it repeatedly, taken it camping, you name it. It really is the most amazing camera on earth. I guarantee you will not be disappointed with this camera. Incredible picture quality, decent zoom, large picture display, extremely fast start up time, and the rechargeable battery lasts "FOREVER" on one charge, and even the most electronic illiterate person will have no problem using it.
Hah, even the USB cable from my old Sony fits into the same slot as my Lumix :) And, I don't have to buy some rip-off "special" memory card that only fits Panasonic (I spent 50 dollars on a 1GB card for my Sony. I love this camera. So convenient that the 'special' Sony memory card cost 3x as much as regular 1GB memory cards.). I had an old Sony Cybershot before, and it can't even hold a candle to Lumix's image stability, clarity, LOVELY Leica lens, and well, just about EVERYTHING this camera has to offer. Incredibly quick picture response, variety of modes to choose from, and just amazing. I LOVE this camera. :)
