Pros: *Great quality in exteriors *Beautiful natural colors *Great for close & small objects photos *A lot of features & effects *Video 4K *Touch screen & sturdy construction *The zoom is good (but not great) Cons: *Very, very POOR video & photos in low light conditions. Too many fake reviews online by youtubers that received this product for free. *A little bit difficult for amateurs users

This camera has great features, although I'll admit that the biggest pro over my old camera is the video. That said, I was in the market for a higher-end point-and-shoot and decided upon this. I wanted a viewfinder so I didn't have to always look at the screen, so thought the extra money on this camera was well spent. That all said, the camera is a bit thicker than I'd like. I find myself using my cell phone for photography more and more because I just don't want to carry the bulk of a camera. I was hoping this was a little thinner, a little lighter. That's really the only reason I took a star off, other than wondering when they will next make big leaps in the quality of the photo (maybe we've plateaued) so I can feel justified in replacing my old camera that really is just as good except for the video.

I wanted compact lightweight camera with good optical zoom and macro as well. High resolution for good quality after cropping too. I have not used all features yet, but did make lots of stills on vacation and a couple short videos. No functional complaints. I would have done more if the manual were easier to use and less complicated. There is lots of capability but it takes lots of homework and experimentation to use that capability.

It saves in RAW, and that's what I wanted. Wish it had a faster lens, bt the reach in optical is nice. The video is very nice with different ways of recording the sound. I do say this is NOT a beginner camera, the auto stuff is so-so, the ability to manipulate the manual settings makes this work...but I really wanted it to work. Managing the settings takes quite a bit of getting used too, it's not really intuitive. And there are still a lot of functions I know I'm not using. This is for someone what knows cameras and can read the book or sit for long periods of time and figure out all the settings.

I bought this Panasonic because off previous good experience with another of same brand that still working after 10 years, the only difference this is built in China my previous from Japan but so far it’s very good camera good quality’s pictures and easy auto photography a lot of technology, I hope will last.

I LOVE this camera! It takes beautiful photos. I use automatic settings for the most part but there are many ways to adjust the settings for those who prefer more control over their photos. I take photos of items for online sales and this camera takes the clearest, sharpest photos with true colors. It has a Leica lens, one of the best, in my opinion. I can't say enough about it.

My wife is been doing a lot of research on a click and shoot type of camera. She knows I complain about liking my big single lens reflex around with multiple lenses she didn't want that. Several friends told us that they like this brand of camera and she has to agree that it's an outstanding choice

This camera is fantastic! I use it mainly for trips alongside my Sony mirrorless camera and the quality marries perfectly.
