The lumix. I borrowed one of these from a friend for a weekend to see if i liked it. to decide weather to buy one for myself.
1> Looks and feel
well it is mainly impressive in this department very sturdy feel to it for such a small camera. the one i had, a two tone finish, was mainly matt with a mirror finish around the top etc. the problem i had here is that i have large hands and the buttons feel a little to small so a little difficult to use.
2> functions
the flash first off is very descent for a small camera,but i wonder when the companies that create these will put a good quality flash on these so they work at a good distance (over 5m) would be good. due to the very small button i did not mess around to much in the menus but did not look like there was much in there so mainly automatic settings (point and shoot).
3> picture quality
on the whole picture quality was not too bad at all good colour definition very good at portrait work. there is a fairly high amount of noise (that's fuzz to most) when you look closer but not really a problem unless you try to make the pictures big. there is a large selection of scene modes which is good for easy set up. seems to be the theme with this camera, no bad thing for most. For me not enough manual settings
4> performance
seems a little slow to get going from off. takes about 4 seconds to be able to take your first picture I am not happy with this. then the burst shoot mode there are 2 versions of this one takes about 4 pictures in just over a second the other takes 2 pictures per second and goes on for a long time it will take plenty. I was very impressed with that part of the camera. very impressed with that.
Overall a very descent little camera very easy to use and you will always get descent snapshots.
