Customer Review: A Fine Performer (full-featured but highly manageable).
Summary: 5 Stars
Some of the Panasonic models sporting ultra high (30X) optical zoom ratios that have come into the US market in the past several years have been disappointing, sacrificing lens quality to power and forcing Panasonic to go to Leica lenses to regain credibility. But this 10X optical, ultra light and compact minicam has proven to be a winner, even though, as a model that Panasonic did not contract to have manufactured outside Japan, it has been scarce in the States.
The lens is sharp and fast, producing good color and clarity in available, low light situations, and the mic picks up everything. The camera has all the features of Panasonic's top-of-the-line videocams--MagicPix, Soft SKin, Tele Macro, Multi Picture-in-Picture, Backlight Button, stereo zoom, fades, progressive photoshot, "smooth" cinema mode, wipes, and virtually every other effect--and of course image stabilization.
The only things I've occasionally missed are a slot for a flash card and perhaps a higher megapixel lens for blowing-up still photos (though a movie camera is unlikely to replace my Elph). I've used the camera for recording a concert (no extra mic), and the clarity of both the sonic and visual image are good enough not to tempt me to look at an HD camera.
