 Great camera for the price Mar 27, 2009
When I ordered this camera I didn't expect much, but the pictures come out really great. I took 300 pictures in one day and the batteries were still almost full, at the highest resolution the camera allows. The pictures don't look great on the little screen the camera has, but they look surprisingly good when uploaded.
Great value, obviously not perfect, but for the price its more than you can ask for.
 Fuzzy and dark pictures Sep 29, 2007
I have tried all the settings but my pictures are fuzzy and dark. I know how to use a camera, but my Kodak EasyShare that I had before (eventually broke after 2 1/2 years, which is normal for a digital camera) took crystal clear pictures with the correct light.
Took this on my trip to Greece and wish I had just bought another EasyShare.
Great little camera for the price - wish I'd found it sooner! Jun 10, 2007
This is my third digital camera. My first one (an Olympus D-340R) still works even if it's a "dinosaur" when compared to today's digital cameras. But I can no longer connect it to my computer (cable causes computer to reboot) and because it is so old I wanted to replace it ... or at least augment it with something newer. I also had an old Sony handicam. It also still works but... again.. it's old.. wanted something with newer technology. Last year I thought I had replaced both by buying a Samsung SC-D365, but I discovered that it doesn't have a flash and even in the brightest indoor light the still pictures were too dark. I wanted something on a par with my old Olympus, but didn't want to spend a lot of money since I'd already sunk quite a bit into the Samsung (which, btw takes okay outdoor pics/films). I started looking for something around $100.00 and finally stumbled on the Panasonic DMC-LS2. I read all the other owner reviews and was happy to see the majority gave it high marks. It sounded like just what I was looking for. What also helped at the time I bought it the price was just slightly over my $100 "looking range" ($130) and to sweeten the deal at that time, Amazon was also giving away 2 free memory cards to go with it. So, I've had it about a week and have been trying it out (and reading the manual). I was pleased to see that it was everything everyone's been saying and then some. I took a few pictures using just the camera's internal memory and was amazed at how clear and sharp they were. Took some really close up shots of one of my cats and could actually see each individual hair. Amazing that this little mid-range camera can take such clear shots. Of course, as I familiarize myself with it over time I will learn more about it's strengths (and weaknesses, if any), but so far it's exactly what I was looking for and I'm quite happy I found it.

 Low price, great prestations. May 30, 2007
I bought this camera as a birthday present. I was looking for a simple to use camera, so I pointed towards Kodak but found nothing to suit my taste. So I decided to try on Panasonic, and now I'm glad I did.
First of all, the camera is easy to use. Mostly point and shoot. However, if you have special needs, the special settings are very helpful. It has a long time exposure setting that allowed me to a picture a lightning scenery with high detail . However, a tripod is a must if you want to enjoy this feature.
Batteries? I used the Oxyride batteries that came included. Used them to set the camera up, fool around a little and take about 150 pictures and maybe 20 minutes of video without flash. At least, it is not a battery eater when used with the oxyride batts.
More goodies: of course. The camera is quick to start up, pictures easy to review and manipulate and the stabilization system really does work. Also, you can take this camera out of the bag and start using it without even looking at the instructions manual. However, I recommend reading it to fully understand some functions.
The down side? Well, I have to say this: the videos are only recorded in QVGA (320 x 240) and they will have no sound.
great little camera Apr 12, 2007
I bought this camera for my 16 year old granddaughter and she just loves it. The pics are bright and clear and the camera is very easy to handle.
