Well, not a very good camera at all. I hoped to be able to shoot some nice macro pictures and maybe aven get nice pics of birds that are not too shy.





Unfortunately, the auto focus is not very good in macro mode, the camera lag is quite considerable and auto focus was often accompanied with a rather loud whirring sound that most birds did not like at all. ANd that resulted in quite a few shots of branches and blue air just vacated by birds.





And, worst of all, I have to write all this in the past tense. Within six weeks the camera broke down. And I now have to wait seven weeks for it to be repaired. At my own cost, because, as Panasonic lost no time opiinting out, there is no international warranty and I emigrated shortly after buying the camera.





So my advice is tro stay well clear of this camera in particular and of Panasonics lack of customerservice in general.
