great little camera Aug 29, 2009
I'm very happy with this little camera and most importantly for me found it easy and simple to understand the controls. Excellent value for the performance to be had as it takes crystal clear pictures with an auto "macro" mode for up-close detail shots of the things I build. As with all things Panasonic, I didn't find much not to like about it.

 Great value, hardy little camera Jun 25, 2009
I bought this camera when I was in Anchorage, AK in the middle of winter to take along to the Iditarod race. I didn't want to take my Nikon DSLR as I was going to be volunteering, therefore I didn't know what to expect as far as accommodations for my things. I was glad I made the purchase, let me tell you.
It has a compact design, but it is weighty and lacks protrusions other than the feature knob at the top. This is key to keep from things breaking off with normal use. I've dropped this camera several times and it has not broken once! When I took it to the aforementioned Iditarod race, I fell on it (long story) and it suffered no ill effects. I, however, did!
That was over a year ago, and the camera is still going strong. The functions are easy to use and even though it is an 8 mp, there aren't a whole lot of unnecessary bells and whistles to it. Which is good, since I hate seeing pretentious point-and-shoots touted with attributes that only someone using a DSLR should be using. There is simply no comparison between the two as far as quality, depth and focus.
But, if you're looking for a cheaper, well-built camera to carry in your purse or pocket, this is the camera for you. My great-grandpa always said Lumix lenses were the best, and he was right.
My only gripe is having to use AA batteries. I always try to get cameras with battery packs, but I was in a bind and yada yada. It sucks the power out of those pretty quickly. But considering I was outside for 8 hours in 10 degree weather, the batteries held up well enough to take quite a few pictures and videos.
And a note on the videos, there is no microphone in the camera, so you get some great quality silent movies. Can't have everything I guess.

 Unremarkable pictures Jun 01, 2009
I've been using a Canon A550 point and shoot for two years now. It takes amazing pictures but is finicky about batteries. I decided to try the Panasonic DMC-LS80S after reading good reviews on this website. I returned the Panasonic this morning. The pictures were blurry, noisy, and dull. I am amazed that Canon could get it so right and that Panasonic could get it so wrong.
Perfect Point And Shoot Camera May 06, 2009
Bought this camera for simple Point and Shoot ability. Very, very pleased with pictures. Used Intelligent Mode for recent trip and only 1 picture out of 90+ came out blurry. All others were perfect including motion and low light situations. Battery life is awesome, even with flash. Power-on to shoot time less than 3 seconds. Couldn't ask for more. Definitely recommend for a Point and Shoot camera that does all of the work but also gives you plenty of options to manually adjust the settings. Nice and lite in weight and fits in pocket. No optical view finder is no problem even in bright light situations.
