Good Points

Good build quality, small , neat, attractive. I wanted a point and shoot which was better than the norm but to be honest I probably ould have gone for the one up from this with the 12x zoom as that would be used more than some of the other features on this one.

Bad Points

a little bit pricey, I find it difficult to know when its taking a movie but then I'm one for not reading the manual :-)

Good Points

Easy to use. Good video quality.

Bad Points

No zoom while making movies. You ship to the continent, but power supplu is for UK only. You ship to Belgium, but there is nu Dutch menu, nor is there a Dutch user guide (not even on CD). At the time we bought the device, nu dutch user guide was available yet on the Panasonic site. It is now. There is just the screen; with strong light...
