Lots of Modes. Good Price. Cons: Comes with no Memory Cards Review: The Pansonic Lumix DMC-LZ5 is one of the best "Point-and-Shoot" Cameras out there. I bought the hole kit at future shop wich includes: Case, Camera, Rechargable Batteries, Battery Recharger, etc. from Shopping.com Uses AA batteries. Cons: Unreliable. Panasonic service is too expensive. from Shopping.com On our first trip we took over 300 pictures and were very happy with the photo results. It is fortunate that the photos turn out better than the LCD image otherwise it would have been returned immediately. I expected Leica to provide the optics, which they did, and Panasonic to provide the electronics and LCD. The LCD is a grainy picture on the large 2.5 LCD and I think Panasonic needs to improve their contribution to the camera. from Vanns.com Summary: After extensive research, I purchased the LZ5K as a camera that I could toss in my bag and take anywhere with me. I also own a Panasonic FZ20, so the bar was set high with regard to picture quality. The main selling points for me were the 6x optical zoom, image stabilization, large LCD size, price bracket, and the fact that it uses standard AA batteries rather than a proprietary battery pack. from Datavis.com I am vary happy with this camera. I have Pentax Option S which is smaller and Olympus 510 which is bigger, this small Panasonic camera makes me very happy. Auto-mode makes vivd sharp pictures, trees and green comes out outstanding. from Amazon.com It has many features I haven't learned to use- they may be useful, but the camera simply takes great photos on the basic settings, so it's a good choice for beginners who want a camera that works easily, but that also has more complicated options for better pictures as the user improves. The only trade-off is the size- the camera is a bit large and clunky compared to the sleek new cameras I've used, but it's really worth it if you can spare the space- there's a lot packed into the camera. I own this and the DMC-LZ5 silver version and they are both perfect for pictures and video- I highly recommend this camera! from Amazon.com look for the "Panasonic Lumix DMC-LZ7K 7.2MP Digital Camera with 6x Image Stabilized Zoom (Black)", you can get it for less price and it is obviously better! from Amazon.com One week ago, the flash stopped working. I thought to myself "no problem, the one year warranty will cover it". Well, guess what, the warranty only covers parts, and the labor flat-fee from Panasonic is $170.00 USD. I can buy a new one on Amazon for $20.00 USD more! from Amazon.com One week ago, the flash stopped working. I thought to myself "no problem, the one year warranty will cover it". Well, guess what, the warranty only covers parts, and the labor flat-fee from Panasonic is $170.00 USD. I can buy a new one on Amazon for less than that! from Amazon.com This camera is good for point and shoot. However when in auto the pictures seem to have a lot of noise. I think this is one of the main problem with Panasonic sensor; Even when I fix the iso at 80, there seems to be a lot noise. The camera takes good pictures at sufficient light. from Amazon.com
