Product Description
With both a 32mm wide-angle Leica DC Vario-Elmar lens and a 5x zoom, this is one camera that does it all. You can fit more in the photo than you can with a 35mm lens, so you can get more of a sweeping landscape in a single shot. The 5x zoom is great for capturing dramatic shots of small or distant subjects. There's also an Extra Optical Zoom function that boosts zoom power to 8.9x in 3-megapixel resolution mode. Simply set the Lz8 to iA mode and let the camera do the rest. Intelligent Scene Selector chooses the mode that best fits the situation; MEGA Optical Image Stabilization (O.I.S.) helps prevent blurring from hand-shake; Intelligent ISO Control helps prevent motion blur; and Face Detection helps produce clear portraits by optimizing the focus and exposure settings. The brightness and contrast of the large 2.5" diagonal LCD adjust automatically in 10 steps as ambient light conditions change, so images are clear, bright and easy to see day or night, indoors or outdoors. f=5.2-26mm (35mm Equiv. - 32-160mm) Focal Length 2.5 Diagonal Polycrystalline TFT LCD Display (230K dots) Focusing Area Normal - Wide 50cm/ Tele 100cm - infinity, Macro / Intelligent AUTO - Wide 5cm / Tele 100cm - infinity 8 - 1/2,000 sec.

 Gift for Mom January 6, 2009
Purchased this camera for my Mom for Christmas, she was still using film, and I was tired of scanning the photos. I used the camera for about a week so I would know how to run it. I took comparison photos with this camera and my Sony Cybershot. The Panasonic photos were better all around, especially inside. Love the auto image mode for sports and this will be great for my mom as she takes numerous shots of grandkids. My mom has been able to use the camera with accuracy and found it very easy to view photos on the screen. I think I will order one just like it and leave my expensive sony behind.
Best photos ever in a point-and-shoot December 12, 2008

This takes fabulous photos under both bright and low light conditions. I have had two previous versions of this camera and each version is a real improvement on its predecessor.
 Absolute dud! October 8, 2008

This is my 3rd camera in the last 6 years and by far this is the worst experience. The focus is not reliable. The usage is not intuitive. The redeye reduction barely works. The eyes in the picture look glazed.
I used this for my daughter's fifth birthday and I luckly also had a Cannon video camera taking shots. If I just relied on this camera, it would have been a disaster!
Just what I wanted October 6, 2008
Compact and takes quality photos of my family, friends, and puppy. Simple enough for my wife to use.
Easy to Use! September 15, 2008

I'm a photography novice and wanting a quality camera that was light (easy to tote), comfortable in my hand (contoured slightly), easy-to-use (uncomplicated) and reasonably priced (under #200). If you're like me, this may be the perfect camera for you. It is for me! Just got our first round of photos back....nice quality. Highly recommend it!
