A great middle of the road camera
(J smith - 2/28/07)I bought this camera with the intention of shooting my artwork, documenting my child's life and capturing small amounts of video to edit and get artsy with that. As I understand camcorders shoot video better, slrs shoot better pictures but this seems like a good attempt keep it all simple; offering the most for what I want without going swimming in the money pit. As far as swimming goes I compulsively bought a Pentax W20 (stated to be waterproof to 1.5 meters) that will leave my Lumix comfortably at home and myself less incumbered.
So this camera combo is as excellent as I can make it. Does it work for me? Yes.
If you bought one of everything this camera would still be good but there would be hardly any time to look through your minds own eye.
