Fabulous. We've had the TZ3 as well - this one is for my father. So we were comparing to the TZ3. Wonderful shots, image stabilization is the best!

So far I am enjoying my new camera. I am still learning all the special features and noticing some things that I am doing wrong. For instance, taking pics of my daughter at her 8th grade awards night - the stage wasn't well lit and when I used the zoom the pics were a bit grainier than I wanted - but I know that's errors on my part. I think you really gotta play with the settings to get great pics - you gotta know what settings to use at different events (I'm trying!)
Overall - I really like the camera. Clear pictures, easy to use, love the battery thingee! I'm enjoying it!
Best Camera we've ever owned June 12, 2008

I'm not a professional photographer, but would consider myself an advanced amateur. I jumped on the "digital" bandwagon in '98 and since then have owned 8 different cams. I currently do most of my shooting with a Canon SLR, but bought this Panasonic for my wife (she was carrying a small 5Mpix Canon in her purse for point-and-shoot type use). She wanted something that was small, light, but had WAY better ZOOM capability so she could do occasional BIRD shots. The Panasonic seemed to fit the bill. We've only had it for a few weeks, but here are our observations:
1. Very well built; quality feel
2. Smaller/lighter than I thought (given the awesome zoom lens)
3. Panasonic's choice to position the zoom to START at a wide angle (28MM equivalent) was right-on. We can take shots indoors (or do great landscape shots) then ZOOM in for more detail
4. The anti-shake is amazing. She's done some hand-held sunsets at full zoom and the results rival what I can do with my Canon SLR on a tripod!
5. Speaking of sunsets, she uses the full-auto mode and the exposures are PERFECT!
6. We've only taken one video and the results are GREAT. For MOST video uses we won't be carrying our camcorder any longer.
7. For all manner of shots (indoors with flash; outdoors in the evening with fill-flash; Full sun; Sun+Shade; Close-ups etc etc) the exposures and color saturation are spot on.
8. VERY impressive face-recognition capability! Spooky to watch it track the subject as they move around in the frame and keep focus on them!
9. Great Battery life (we've taken maybe 50-60 photos + the video and the battery "gas guage" still shows 3/4 capacity left.)
Negatives?....so far we've not found any.
Basically this is the MOST impressive Digital Camera we've ever owned and for a shade over $200 it's a terrific bargain as well!

This is an absolutely great camera. The fit and finish are extremely good and the camera blends nicely the issues of size and weight. It is small enough to take everywhere, but not so small as to be actually difficult to use with anything but tiny hands
The HD movie feature works great and the images are superb. The nice thing is you can actually zoom while taking a video, something not offered in most cameras. Nice easy to use features, great price, very flexible wide range of features and sharp crisp pictures.
The only thing needed is more megapixels and now the new version is out in 9 mp.
Love the zoom power on a compact camera June 9, 2008

It's so nice to finally have some freedom with a compact camera. I thought I was going to need a 5 lb. Digital SLR, to take quality pictures. It's relatively easy to understand, but I admit I read the directions on everything I buy regardless. I did have to return the camera within the first month, due to a faulty connection cord, but received the replacment in 4 days. Overall I am quite happy with my purchase and a great price too.
