This camera is amazing. It has a powerful zoom and yet is compact so fits into my pocket or handbag and I can take it everywhere with me, no need to carry lots of different lenses. It has a lot of pre-set features for specific types of shot and has sound and video recording. And the viewfinder means I can always see exactly what I'm photographing even in strong sunshine when I can't see the image on the screen. This is a fantastic camera!

I have said the image quality is not good, I need to qualify this. I bought the camera to have a handy pocket image taker that could zoom in a long way compared with my iphone and just cropping in on the image. It does better than the iphone, but not very sharp at the tight end of the lens. I realize that winter light is not good for telephoto work but I had hoped for better. It is not a substitute for a DSLR and good aperture telephoto lens, but there again, you can't fit a DSLR with tele lens in your pocket.

This camera has all the features of larger cameras, its easy to use, and it can be carried in a backpack without any problems. The double viewfinder is a bonus, and you can only find this sort of viewfinder on cameras costing a lot more money than i paid for this one. I would have no problems recommending this camera to anyone, whether they be a beginner, or not.

Great little camera with a huge focal length lens (approx 700mm) and great image quality. Plenty of easy to set options for the hobby photographer but with manual for the more technically minded. I also have a Canon D40 'semi professional' DSLR camera and I mostly now just work with the Panasonic. The focus system needs to be understood to get the best out of it. Video is fantastic and the ability to take stills whilst doing video is like using two cameras at once. Start up to ready speed is not too shabby either. Battery lasts a good while but I bought two spares and a stand alone charger, which is the only comment I would make about this kit. Charging in camera is OK until you have to charge up spare batteries and then keep them aside for the longer photo day. Very cold or very hot days reduce battery capacity considerably. Having said that the additional ones I bought were not expensive and I can have a battery on charge whilst shooting. Overall I would recommend this little camera for holidays and semi pro use. At the right price (not list!) it is great value.Read full review

Out of date No sooner as a camera is introduced we start thinking of it’s replacement Bigger more powerful chip larger lense to cope with a bigger chip in size and capacity which is needed to take us up into the next level. Longer zoom with a built in stabling system as the zoom is extended More built in filters and action filming I could go on which proves we will never be happy with any latest anything Manufacturers have allowed themselves be pushed along with higher spec that most of us will ever use All I want is a camera offering the biggest physical chip in a camera Quality comes from the size of the chip and not the mp of the chip Look at the top camera makers who address this in exactly with way
