Everything was great about this camera except the sound during videos. It was awful. I returned the camera.

This was purchased as a gift 4 our oldest granddaughter who wants 2 produce better photography. It has enough menu items 4 her 2 increase her knowledge, without being 2 complicated. During a summer vacation this year she used her grandfathers nikon 4300, showing quick study skills as well as good composition. We liked this camera as a upgrade from the lesser point, without purchasing a more expensive SLR types.

This was a birthday present 4 my girlfriend. She loves it. The 10xzoom & compact design are a great combination. This is a big upgrade from her 2mp camera.

I'm in love with this camera. It is small in size with a large LCD screen. It's nice 2 really see the picture you want 2 take. Menu screens are simple,straightforward & uncomplicated 2 access & use. Other controls are easily manipulated. It's very simple 2 delete a photo.
The photos that this camera takes are fabulous. Very sharp & clear...color is wonderful. The lense is extraordinary. My only very small regret is the zoom isn't as good as on my Canon. It's okay but not great.
I'd highly recommend this camera 4 the beginner or intermediate user. Also 4 those who are baffled by technology. This is camera is very user friendly.
5 stars 4 this Panasonic.
