Great simple camera
I researched and found this camera for my wife. She is not technologically oriented so I needed one that was simple yet took excellent pictures. This is it. So many features and the automatic settings are so intelligent. It is must have with image stabilization. Now, no pictures get blurred. It also has regular batteries that I replaced with rechargeable ones. She was thrilled at receiving it and the ease of using it. Panasonic did a great job. I bought a more advanced model for myself. My Lumix DMC-TZ3 model is great also.
Update (5/17/2012): This item is currently on sale here for the lowest price I’ve seen. I also found some auctions for this item here.

Nice camera
Nice camera at a good price. As someone who needs a camera for recreational / personal use, takes nice pictures and it is easy to use. We were also able to a memory card from another seller Amazon.com for about $ 10, much lower than the selling price … I guess they are with the camera and accessories for just about had to do was get the "new" model range, but something of a season or two ago. So I do not have a ton of experience with cameras, but I am very pleased with this purchase. And the seller offered a great deal by selling a new product that is less than some of the refurbished used / listed products. And I was able to get additional $ 30 off by using my new Amazon Visa!

Great value, hardy little camera
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.
