When I saw the Costco coupon, I read all the reviews here and thought it was a great buy. Until I used it the first day to capture the tarpon rolling in Boca Grande. What no optical viewfinder? Had no idea that has become an optional “feature”. I aimed the camera, and had no idea what I was capturing. Can’t see the LCD screen in sunlight.
Several times it just wouldn’t take the picture — wasn’t too close or out of battery. And shots under shaded trees were not exposed correctly at all. I tried using IA after the normal shot looked too dark — and that only made the outcome worse.
The reason I want to replace my old camera is to get faster shutter speed and a slimmer design. The shutter speed still isn’t fast enough (do I have to go back to film?) and the size savings over the 4 year old camera is not significant enough.
I’m returning it.

Seemed a great little camera . . until it stopped working after a week of use. Simply doesn’t switch on anymore (and this is not a battery problem). First time this happened to me with a digital camera.
Panasonic replaces not with a new but with a refurbished model (equal or similar).

I had been waiting for this new Lumix Camera to be released, and the day it became available (April 1, 2009), I ordered it from Amazon. Amazingly, it arrived the next day. The camera itself has proved wonderful, easily used and easily learned.
The camera is great; the Amazon delivery and service wonderful.

It is very easy to use. adding pictures to computer, charging battery. You can take video and add to your computer right there. I just love this camera. My son has same Lumix camera but different version. That is nice, too.
