Summary: Bite-size camera takes sharp pix!

Comment: I wanted a small camera to take on vacation. Although I've always used Canons, I decided to buy the Panasonic based on its great reviews, the Leica lens, and the image stabilization feature.

Well, it certainly is pocket-sized, but since the monitor covers almost the entire back of the camera, it's very easy to see what you're doing. The "intelligent auto" mode makes it relatively simple to use right out of the box. The camera has lots of nice advanced features, too, some of which take a bit of reading and practice to figure out. (I'll be working on that for a while.) It does remarkably well in low light, even without tripod or flash. My vacation photos came out crisp and beautiful. Highly recommended!

Summary: Lumix FS5K

Comment: This is a great, sharp, easy to use (after a slight learning curve), uncluttered, and pocketable little camera. I matched it up with a cell phone case and I'm ready to go.

Summary: great camera

Comment: This is my third digital camera and by far the best. I used it for a trip to England. It worked beautifully in a wide variety of settings. For the most part I used the "auto-settings" and I got great pictures from closeups to distant landscape, indoors in old building lighting to bright backlighted outdoors seens to low light nighttime indoors. The anti-shake features eliminated any user problems for high speed pictures and rapid ready to shoot and multiple shot in a row options. The design for the memory card and battery in the same slot is well thought out and easy to use. I didn't begin to scratch the surface of the additional features since the auto-settings worked so well. I have had Sony Cybershot and Olympus Camedia Ultrazoom cameras before and this is by far the best performance and far better value for the price at less than $200. I recently had a water mishap with my camera that unfortunately caused my camera to die and I immediately replaced it. (taking a full immersion in a canoe mishap is probably more than any digital camera is designed to handle)

Summary: Excellent camera!

Comment: This camera is the best one of the 4 digital cameras I've owned. the picture quality is fabulous and it is fast! I would highly reccommend it!

Summary: Excellent User Friendly Camera

Comment: This camera is everything I hoped for in a point and click camera. The shutter speed is much faster than the Kodak or the Canon that I tested out in stores. The picture quality is great, the extra features on the camera are awesome, and it is small and lightweight.
