A great buy!
I bought this camera after much rescearch for a summer trip to Europe. This camera was super. I was working at a horse camp so the camera was in constant use and taking action shots. I didn't have a big budget, and this was perfect because I could take great photos and not spend too much. This is an awesome awesome camera for kids first cameras or really just your basic pictures. It takes a little while to get used to the settings, but after a while it's easy and the large LCD is great. The one thing I hated is the screen scratched so easily and I'm not even sure how it got so many marks on it, but it did. So that was a bummer, but it still works just fine after dropping it many times and you can still see the pics. I would deff recommend this. The recharable battery is a lifesaver and if you absolutely had to, you could buy a second one in case the first one dies while you are out taking pictures, but I was just fine with one. I recommend getting a case to protect it as it will scratch if you drop it. So, all in all, a great camera, can't get much better for the price and it's a great quick point and shoot camera and the colored cameras are so fun!
This is the best camera I have ever purchased and at good price. Battery life very good and pictures always were perfect! I always kept in case and took very good care of camera. It stopped working and I did take in to Best Buy(emolyees always great help & always ready to help) We sent off it was still under warrenty,I should have bought service plan through Best Buy but did not. There was no damage at all on my camera but somehow the manufacturer said a peice on inside cracked even though NO damage at all to outside of camera. They could not fix, I would have to buy a new one. Make sure you buy the service plan!
I purchased this Panasonic camera for my daughter.
My old Panasonic Lumix camera is still going strong after
5 years! The new features are amazing. Stabilization,
large screen, convenience of SD cards.
She took the camera on a working trip to Europe and posted photos on the internet every day. She is very happy and when I'm ready for a new digital camera it will be a Panasonic.
