Product Description
With both a 32mm wide-angle Leica DC Vario-Elmar lens and a 5x zoom, this is one camera that does it all. You can fit more in the photo than you can with a 35mm lens, so you can get more of a sweeping landscape in a single shot. The 5x zoom is great for capturing dramatic shots of small or distant subjects. There’s also an Extra Optical Zoom function that boosts zoom power to 8.9x in 3-megapixel resolution mode. Simply set the Lz8 to iA mode and let the camera do the rest. Intelligent Scene Selector chooses the mode that best fits the situation; MEGA Optical Image Stabilization (O.I.S.) helps prevent blurring from hand-shake; Intelligent ISO Control helps prevent motion blur; and Face Detection helps produce clear portraits by optimizing the focus and exposure settings. The brightness and contrast of the large 2.5″ diagonal LCD adjust automatically in 10 steps as ambient light conditions change, so images are clear, bright and easy to see day or night, indoors or outdoors. f=5.2-26mm (35mm Equiv. – 32-160mm) Focal Length 2.5 Diagonal Polycrystalline TFT LCD Display (230K dots) Focusing Area Normal – Wide 50cm/ Tele 100cm – infinity, Macro / Intelligent AUTO – Wide 5cm / Tele 100cm – infinity 8 – 1/2,000 sec.

I ordered this camera, shipped and sold by Beach Camera. Long story short, I never got it because their delivery people (and I paid for expedited shipping!)left it somewhere and got no delivery signature. And now, they’re telling me it’s going to take 15 days to “investigate”. Do yourself a favor, if you want this camera, DO NOT ORDEF IT FROM BEACH CAMERA!

This is my 3rd camera in the last 6 years and by far this is the worst experience. The focus is not reliable. The usage is not intuitive. The redeye reduction barely works. The eyes in the picture look glazed.
I used this for my daughter’s fifth birthday and I luckly also had a Cannon video camera taking shots. If I just relied on this camera, it would have been a disaster!

I’ve only used this camera two or three times, but so far I really like it. I’m reserving full judgement until I’ve had it awhile longer. I have had a problem with some point and shoot cameras not holding up well–especially the Nikon P5100.

I bought this camera to take pictures at my sisters wedding. My sister-in-law has a Panasonic and has taken some really nice photos with it, so I thought I would buy one and try it. Was I ever disappointed. The time between taking the picture and when the screen comes back up is like 8 seconds. Not good when you are trying to take photos at a wedding. Also there were these little white spots on some of the pictures that I have since found out are dust spots. Also it takes forever to focus in a low light situation. The only good thing I can say about this camera is that it takes really good photos outside in good light. Detail is awesome. However that doesn’t make up for what it doesn’t do. I’m returning mine!!
