If you are looking for a camera that does just that bit more than a compact digital camera, but you don't need or want a full digital SLR, then this fits the bill. It is a 'bridge camera', which means it has many of the functions of an SLR, but you can't change the lens. I chose this camera as a present because my friend was trying to take pictures beyond the capability of her existing camera. She is delighted with it; the ease of use, the quality of the pictures, the 21x zoom, that it uses 4 AA rechargeable batteries, its relatively small size and the range of features. Yes, she still keeps her Canon SureShot to use as a 'snapshot' camera – it is smaller and fits in a small bag – but she is now preferring to use the Lumix more and more as she gets used to it. Don't expect the performance of a full SLR, because it isn't! But what it does do, it does very well. I have used it myself; I am impressed by it and I am pleased with my choice. (I personally have a Pentax ME Super 35mm SLR system, so I am used to good cameras.)Read full review

I got this camera without instruction manual and was able to use its basic features immediately. Posting Panasonic got me a manual to download. This camera is feature packed ,yet easy to use, point in question is the intelligent focus feature ,set camera to this ,point at subject and camera will automatically focus to give you best picture. Their are plenty of features for the more advanced user: 21x optical zoom, video is simply a matter of selecting it from the features on the top of the camera, macro feature is excellent. All in all a lovely camera can be used by the complete novice to the more advanced user. .highly recommended by myself and other users.

I am a Lumix loyalist and needed to replace my previous camera. I bought this model because rechargeable AA batteries are convenient, the battery cluster gives weight and bulk in my hands, Lumix I trust and almost any camera has better visual definition than I do. I review to flag how simple this generation of Lumix has become. The instructions read well. The topics are handled without jargon and the "in camera" prompts do help. I understand this camera and that means the button pusher can be more adventurous in his choices of shot. The technology is at last getting used.
Good camera for it price. as it describe point and shoot. I had camera for few days. then i sold it, because i got another camera. 21X Zoom is grate. Picture quality is good too, Please buy at least class 10 card, other vice you are not be able to record HD videos.
Great camera. Excellent value.
