Wish the zoom was 10x instead of 4x Additional ThoughtsI was very surprised at the crispness of the photos, even in bright sunlight. There are many cameras out there that are much more expensive that don't take as good a pic.

I also like the large LCD screen. from Dell.com I purchased a Panasonic Lumix camera from Beach Camera, Edison NJ through the Amazon website. Beach Camera shipped my camera via FedEx overnight (only charging me for standard shipping). from Amazon.com This camera has been dropped countless times, left on the beach overnight, dropped in the ocean all without missing a beat. It nearly survived being washed and dried in the pocket of my shorts. I recommend the Lumix series to anyone who's looking for a pocket digital camera; I just bought another one to replace my old one. from Amazon.com I have had a couple of digital cameras in my time...and finding this one was the best money I have spent over all. In between having two Lumix's, I had bought a Kodak point and shoot. Believe me, the Kodak is NO comparison to this camera! from Amazon.com Too bad I couldn't give 1 star. I had an older Lumix that lasted two years. When that camera was stolen, I purchased this model from my local B & M. from Amazon.com I bought this because of my experience with Panasonic cameras, some on-line reviews and the price point. I bought it for a friend that wanted a small point and shoot to use when she didn't want to carry her SLR. from Amazon.com My husband and I debated about whether to make the move to an SLR with our next camera purchase or stick with a point-and-shoot digital. Because money is tighter this year, we decided to go with the cheaper option and will wait for better economic times to take on an SLR. After doing some research and reading reviews, I chose the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FS5P. It was a good value at approx $140 with free shipping. from Amazon.com I bought this as a pocket camera to complement my D-SLR (there you have it, I know what a good camera should produce), and my expectations were low, as I didn't need this to be a 'great' camera. I used the Panasonic to take about 200 pictures in varying conditions inside and outside. In all environments, about 2/3 of the pictures were out of focus as the camera tried to focus on random things in the field of vision. from Amazon.com Never purchased a panasonic camera before, and probably wont do it again. The camera it self is well built and very easy to use. from Amazon.com
