 if you are taking pictures indoors SKIP THIS CAMERA May 04, 2010
I have had this camera for a few years now and i am just your average person taking pictures of my child. This camera takes the WORST pictures indoors. If the lighting is low, even with a flash the picture will be washed out or too dark. Outside the pictures are lovely. This camera doesn't take black and white (or if it does i didn't figure out how)
everything else about this camera is great. Solid construction, easy to use, battery life is great... but the pictures taken inside are AWFUL. If you are going to spend [...] bucks on a camera get a DSLR
 Excellent camera, dreadful charger Apr 07, 2010
The camera is excellent, with very good picture quality during daytime (so-so night pictures) and a wonderful zoom.
The battery charger is a piece of crap. Supposedly, it works with 110 or 220 volts, as it says in its label. When I traveled to Europe last year, I used the charger there and it started to indicate that the battery was loaded without loading it. Now, back in my 110 volts' rural county, always will tell that the battery is fully loaded only to later discover that is false. First I suspected that the battery was the culprit, so I bought a new one... Now I know the truth :'(
Also the battery compartment is problematic. There's a sliding switch to close the compartment and (I think) also closes the electrical circuit. Sometimes, it won't easily work and the camera won't start or turn off suddenly.
I will search for a camera that uses Double-A batteries, so if I suddenly discover that the charger screw up, I can buy a pack of batteries anywhere and solve the situation.
What I don't know is what to do with my Lumix: follow my heart and throw it to the trash bin, or buy a new charger (about $20 a cheap copy... but, hey, it can't be worst than the original).
Any recommendations?

I have had this camera for over a year now and I still love it.
It might not be as small as some of the cameras you see but this one has more stability when you shoot your pictures.
It is small enough it goes in my pcoket..
The zoom feature at10X is excellent. I have taken some wonderful pictures with this camera..
I read a number of reviews before I bought this camera and they were all so favorable. This is one time you can really believe the reviews...

 Great camera, easily broken. Nov 28, 2009
I love this camera. I bought it over a year and a half about from another website and paid $280. Why is it now $500 everywhere I look? I used this camera all the time, though I have to say it was a bit heavy and not nearly thin enough to keep in my purse.
I am highly disappointed with Amazon's and many other online retailer's price with this camera. $500 is absolutely ridiculous considering I paid almost HALF of that over a year and a half ago. It's a great camera, I'll give you that, but I think you can get similar quality with another brand and newer model.
I am most disappointed with it's short life. It worked great while I had it until I had it on my tripod. I knocked it over on the CARPET and it dropped in slow motion. It barely hit the ground and managed to jam the lens in. I did every suggestion online. I even took the camera and lens apart. It won't budge. It's $160 to fix so I thought it'd be the same price to buy a new one. It's not.
My conclusion? It's a great camera, but not worth this "new" price. The fact that the lens jammed this easily was a shock, and even more of a shock that this camera costs TWICE what I paid for it OVER A YEAR AND A HALF AGO!!!
Great P&S, don't ask for more Oct 11, 2009
I bought this camera a week ago as a used special on another site, and once I learned what it can and cannot do, I'm quite pleased. I am a semi-pro photographer who was looking for a p&s to give me a viable photo tool for those times I don't want to carry my DSLR and related equipment. I believe I've found it - the Leica glass is great for a camera like this, and convenient access to important options via intelligently designed button/function features make this a pretty easy camera to enjoy. It is not a serious camera so don't ask it to be, but once you gain a familiarity with it's functions and capabilities, it will do a very nice job of capturing respectable photos for you. Important: any ISO over 200 will produce noise/graininess that for my tastes is unacceptable, so I won't do that. I stay at ISO 100 and 200 and I stay pretty much happy with the results.
The site [...] did a complete review a few years back - great info source for what to expect. No disrespect to Amazon, but seek out used/refurbished alternatives for much better pricing, or go with a more current version of this camera. Happy shooting...
