Pros & Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

In regular daylight, the quality is stellar and the 9mp photo capture during hd video recording is also stellar. Fantastic clear photos from far away using the telephoto mode.

The gimmicky shooting modes work well, especially compared with the gimmicky filters found in smartphone apps like vsco or instagram. The autofocus is fast. I expect this to become automatic as i use the camera more over time.

Like me it appears to have survived. Very surprising. The 30x zoom is great. It's just fun.

It is on sale for a pittance this month at a well-known store. Silver/ chrome color of this model is cheaper but identical except appearance with the black one. Would definitely recommend. Buy it from amazon.



Cons

Do not use this camera in a humid environment and go from cold air conditioned to hot and humid outside. It is impossible to use outdoors when the sun's out because the image viewer can't be seen, and suffers from severe gadgetitis.

Panasonic tech support is an insult to their customer. Panasonic's warranty is worthless and their warranty department personnel are rude.

It's just got a very cheap, plasticy feel to it. Just really crummy.
