Great Camera at an affordable price
This camera does an excellent job at substantially less cost than many competing cameras. It is easy to use; the menus are easy to understand and navigate. The Lumix optics are excellent; provide crisp reproduction. Screen is bright and easy to see even in bright outdoors light. I have always had good luck with Panasonic products, and this keeps the trend going. Highly recommended.
Returnable
I had to return this item as the usb connection to the computer stopped working. It took some time between shots and you had a discernable wait before you can take the next shot. Otherwise, it took great pictures. The absence of view finder was definitely felt.
