I’m still exploring all the options with this camera, having stepped up from a LUMIX TZ, but so far so good. The special effects menus are a delight to use, and the camera feels solid and well made in the hand. I bought a SD card reader that plugs straight into my iPhone for £6, and a Panasonic cable to connect camera to laptop for editing for a similar amount. I paid £120 for the reconditioned camera on EBay and I use it mainly on a camera pole for stability. Looking forward to seeing how it performs on macro.

Used for bird photography auto focus poor, image quality just ok. Long zoom ok but don’t use full optical range. Have been using auto settings now changing to apature and shutter speed. Think a shorter zoom but bigger sensor may be better. But great for holiday and general photos just not quite up to my birding needs

Nice camera,easy to use,takes a bit of holding on long lens easier on a tripod or stick,plenty of programs to tryout and ai if you can’t be bothered really good for bird pics and it is light too,no need to carry a bag of lenses.

The long range zoom 60x is ok when there is no heat haze also need a steady hand at that distance.Pity that these type of cameras do not have manual zoom like the Lumix FZ50 which is so much easier than a button.Not a heavy camera easy to carry will find it handy to use with my FZ50 when needing a longer zoom.

I bought this camera to try to get close up photos of wildlife without the weight and baggage of a dslr and lenses. I knew there would be a compromise on image quality but I have been pleasantly surprised at how good it can be and they are certainly good enough for identification purposes. Light and easy to carry so this will be the camera I have with me when I go birding. Excellent value.
