Overall, a great camera. Picture quality is much much better than past Nikon S230 & an underwater olympus point & shoot. This is what was most important to me.
I will say that the touchscreen features are good but not great. Also the camera is a little thicker than anticipated. Finally I noticed w/ the video function that I’m unable to zoom in & out, it just stays @ one focal point! Unless there’s another way, this is a HUGE negative!
But again, overall, I’m quite happy with it. It’s become my primary camera.

Bought it as an addition to my much bigger Sony camera. This Lumix is small but full of features. Ready to shoot in an instant, just slide down the lens protecting door and push the shutter button. Auto setting takes great pictures every time. Takes great movies too, but the zoom does not work in movie mode – small inconvenience. Very intuitive functions, easy to learn. Love it, it’s always in my pocket!
