 Pretty good for the price February 11, 2008

I bought this camera to replace my canon POS, because it has a lot of pro features and was - well, cheap. And you get what you pay for: the lens and the zoom are great (Leica), the features overflowing; but *alas* even at ISO 80 it's a really noisy image. Also, it tends to shoot too bright, so I have to underexpose by just a little. And no RAW, so no pro images.
A great trainer camera for a newbie exploring to see if a pro-cam is worthwhile, and I don't know if the Fz8 or 50 has a better sensor chip, but this one has kind of a crappy sensor chip, definite pixellation at full-sized without any tweaks. I spend a lot of time in Photoshop these days, and will likely replace it with a Canon instead of another Lumix.
 For the dough, a top notch P & S. February 3, 2008

I purchased this camera several months ago and have been very pleased with it. Once you take the time to learn all the functions, it will produce some fine images. Just don't expect auto or easy mode to do the work for you. I never use auto or any scene settings. I basically use it like a 35mm, for full control.
Regarding noise, I barely notice it at ISO 200. What little is there, I can basically eliminate it with Elements by going to filter/noise/despeckle. I've had some 8 X 10 enlargements printed and they have turned out fabulous, with no noticeable noise at ISO 200.
I've since added an Olympus Tcon-17 conversion lens, which basically stays on the camera at all times. This gives me a reach of 20.4 optical equivalent to 734mm. It's a great combo. [...].
I have since upgraded to Canon DSLR but will still hang onto the Panasonic as a reliable backup.

I returned the camera. Pictures in daylight are great but night pictures tend to be blurry.
Shucks! January 10, 2008

Breaking and entering. That cuts short a number of whatnots. However, were we to examine the thieves' taste - they went for the camera. Chose it over a laptop.
Can't say I blame them.

I really wanted this camera to be easy and take that perfect picture. It does not!! Maybe if I spent more time with it, but who has days of time just for this unless it's a true hobby. I wish I bought the Canon equivlent.
