Oct 5, 2006

Rating: 9 out of 10 (Spectacular)
Pros: overall photo quality
Cons: not a DSLR altho ppl mistake for one
Opinion:
had this for 10 months and still a great workhorse, battery life is decent and a good go between for a candybar camera and a DSLR, with aperture/shutter/manual settings, set up like a pro with lotsa manual adjustments. priced to sell and i know lotsa ppl who love this cam

Worthy compact

Jan 12, 2006

Rating: 8 out of 10 (Excellent)
Pros: light weight with superior image quality
Cons: no hot show flash.
Opinion:
don't be mistaken by the post below. i have taken perfect quality pictures of the moon and have no trouble with focusing at all! Although no manual focus, this camera has a work around using the focus button.

sadly this compact does not have a hotshoe for flash, but this problem is solved thanks to 3rd party flash.

Rating: 5 out of 10 (Average)
Pros: light weight
Cons: will not focus on the moon at all
Opinion:
I am on my second fz5 since christmas and have too many focusing problems. Not only will it not focus properly on the moon, I just discovered it doesn't have manual focus so I am out of luck. My roommate has a canon s2is which works perfectly and captures the moon crystal clear, even at maximum zoom. Will take this one back to circuit city tomorrow and trade for canon. What a shame, what a good camera the lumix could be.
