What's great about it: Easy to use, multiple setting options
What's not so great: No zoom while in video mode
I bought this camera mainly for family events and my sons soccer games. The sports setting is just wonderful. It takes action pictures with very little blur. I have only played with about 1/3 of the settings but so far I have had very little issue. You can date stamp the pictures or leave the date off. The burst mode is not very good for low light situations since it cannot be used with the flash however; in full sunlight it captured many great shots of my sons games. The Intelligent Auto function is nice for those times when you do not know what setting you want to use. This camera is perfect for the casual photographer that wants a decent point and shoot for family fun. I would say this is the best camera I could find for my price range of roughly $100.

Needed a new camera, my old one (also a lumix) was only 7 megapixels, this seemed like a great deal especially since it was on sale. Saw that it was only 4x optical zoom and thought that would be enough... it definitely wasn't. If you're only taking up close shots, it's fine. I couldn't even take a picture of someone across the room that wasn't blurry. And not a big room either. I ended up bringing it into the store near me and exchanging it for the fh24 which is perfect and has more than enough zoom for me to use and get good pics.

What's great about it: Easy to use, great price.
What's not so great: nothing.
easy rec mode controls with high speed burst mode also with flash burst mode that takes three consecutive pictures. Video mode has 3 setting, HD, VGA and QVGA with white balance setting and i.exposure control. The battery lasts a long time between charges even in cold weather. I have had a lot of pocket cameras and this is the best for being small and automatic.
