I bought it to add to my small collection of digital cameras with the intent of displaying them. This one however is a beauty and I want to use it, but I've not been anywhere recently! Shortly the paddle steamer Medway Queen is being towed to Ramsgate to have, if I'm allowed to say it, her bottom scraped! I will take this machine along with my standard one, just to show off! delighted.

Had to replace my Panasonic DMC - F2 which I'd had a long time , but which ended up with a cracked screen. This is just as good , very similar to operate,always a bonus, and has 16.0 MP instead of 10.0 Bought used, at a good price.

We have a number of Kodaks in the household - the nearest comparable one is an Eazyshare M580. This has only 14MPixel against the 16 of the Panasonic, though both have x8 optical zoom, and the Panasonic is only a little longer. As I'm disabled and have to resort to "shoot & crop" for photos of heritage steam trains (one of my hobbies), I bought a Lumix to see if I could improve the finished prints. At first I was pleased with the results - the colours seemed more natural, and both wide angle lenses seemed to give comparable results to my untutored eye with pin-sharp focussing. The Kodak had a Schneider Kreuznach lens and the Panasonic a Leica. No surprises there. The Zoom control on the Panasonic works with a spring-loaded ring round the shutter button, difficult and clumsy to use. When I came to crop pictures, I found many on full magnification refused to crop. In contrast, the Kodak crops easily, reducing the pixel density as the selected piece of full magnification picture is expanded to fill the frame. This could be the result of my unfamiliarity with the Panasonic, but intuitive it 'aint! The last M580 died at 13 months when the on/off switch jammed open and the battery overheated overnight. I was pleased to see the Panasonic had positive switches; they look as if they'll last. Overall, then, the Panasonic is a bit like the Curate's egg - good in parts, so far.Read full review
First of all, this product was incorrectly described - the correct number was FS50. The only similarity with the FS35 is that the USB cable for the FS35 may be used to charge the FS50 in the camera. This revue therefore is limited to the FS50, which most noticeably is a really light and small digital camera probably most suitable for the gentler gender. The zoom is an adequate 5x (not the 8 x of the FS35) optical. SD must be micro and basically it’s easy to use, but has so many advanced features that there are 2 manuals - simple one and advanced one, which is needed to get the very best out of the camera’s potential.

Bought as a back up to my Canon digital SLR and as a pocket sized camera for ease of carrying. The camera certainly lives up to its description I cannot fault it!It is easy to use and the features are easily accessible and easy to use. This is the first time I have used a compact dig camera and would certainly recommend this one1
