Lot of Camera for little $$$

I purchased the Lumix as a gift for my husband after researching numerous other cameras. I felt that it offered the best options for the best value.

After purchasing the camera we had the chance to try it out at a graduation ceremony. It was an outside ceremony and we were seated on one side of the football field and the rest of the family was on another side. We decided to try out the 12x zoom feature and see if we could get any good pictures of my family across the field. Well image our surprise when we got home and were looking at the pictures and could see them very clearly.

This is probably the best all around camera I have used in a while. It has superb picture quality. The 12x zoom is wonderful and very clear. Battery life is excellent, you can get about a 1 gb worth of photos before needing to recharge. The LCD screen is quite large for a digital camera.

This has probably been the best purchase I have made in the digital camera field. I am so impressed with it, that I am getting my mother one for a mother’s day gift.
