5 Stars Canon Camera
This camera is an amazing value for the money. Takes great pictures, easy to use, long battery life and easy to charge. Only caution is that the camera does not come with a memory card.

2 Stars Great camera, horrible company
This is a really great camera, but it is a really bad company. Canon is the worst company when it comes to getting anything repaired. When I got this camera, I noticed it had a dead pixel on the LCD. I sent it in to Canon, they sent it back not only with the dead pixel unrepaired, but they left dust between the protective screen film cover and the LCD. As a result I sent it to them a second time. When I got it back the second time, they did not fix either problem and they broke something inside the camera so a red spot kept appearing on the LCD when trying to take a picture or shoot video… I sent it in a third last week telling them to fix the problems they caused and to replace the LCD.

It returned today, they fixed the two problems they caused, but I still have the dead pixel.

The bottom line is Canon is a horrible company when it comes to repair service, if you get a defective LCD like I did, you are going to have to deal with it, because they will lie to you about trying to repair and do nothing.

Either Canon lacks integrity or their repair people are incompetent or both (probably both) and thus I have to poorly review their product, because if something else goes defective, I have no guaranteed they will be able to fix it.

5 Stars Best camera to date!
In September of 09 I purchased this camera for my son, from Amazon.com, for $225.20, with an extra battery, and free shipping & handling. I knew it was a good buy, so I ordered one for myself. I still use my older Canon cameras but this one has a sharper image and if you take snaps while driving…they couldn’t be any sharper. Note: the size is just a little slimmer than older models. My orders were for the Gold…what a buy. Thank you Amazon!

4 Stars Good pocket camera with viewfinder
I purchased this model because it was the only pocket camera I could find with an optical viewfinder. It has surpassed my expectations. See the two attached pictures. I wish the film strips could be generated in AVI files, but I can live with the MOV filetype.

5 Stars Great little camera
I had a 6 year old camera (also Canon) that I recently gave to my dad who seemed interested in taking digital pictures and I started looking for a new digital camera.

SD780IS was recommended highly and the selling point for me was the availability of a view finder as it is very hard to see what you are aiming at in bright daylight without a viewfinder.

I already have countless pictures in different environments from hot hazy days on the sea to some flowers I have that bloom only once a year (and only for a day) in all occasions the results turned out great. Clarity, picture quality it is all there.

The size of the camera is perfect, I have a red one I love its color and using it (charging the battery or downloading the pics) is so easy.

I must mention that for this price it is the best deal.

Panasonic Lumix DMC FH20 14 1 MP Digital Camera with 8x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom and 2 7 Inch LCD Black

Panasonic Lumix DMC FH20 14 1 MP Digital Camera with 8x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom and 2 7 Inch LCD Black


51mftGDmP%2BL. SL75  Panasonic Lumix DMC FH20 14 1 MP Digital Camera with 8x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom and 2 7 Inch LCD  Black

The 28mm wide-angle lens lets you easily capture large groups of people indoors or expansive architectural structures and scenes with dynamic width and rich perspective, even from short distances.The DMC-FH20 sports a powerful 8x optical zoom lens (35mm camera equivalent: 28-224mm). This gives you highly natural expressions from people and animals that you can’t get close to. And its slim, compact, pocket-sized body can easily go wherever you do for both everyday snapshots and traveling.When you don’t know which mode will give you the best shooting results, or when a sudden photo opportunity pops up and you don’t have time to make any settings, simply choose iA (Intelligent Auto) mode by simply pressing the dedicated button and let the camera do it all for you. You just choose iA mode, aim at your subject, and shoot. 4 detection and correction functions are simultaneously activated to optimize the settings, so you get stunning photos every time.The DMC-FH20 can record motion images in high-definition (1,280 x 720 pixels at 30 fps in motion JPEG format). The pixel mixed readout method enables bright motion-image recording even in low-light settings. The DMC-FH20 can also record full-size motion images in WVGA (848 x 480 pixels at 30 fps) or standard motion images in VGA (640 x 480 pixels at 30 fps) and QVGA (320 x 240 pixels at 30 fps).The energy-saving Venus Engine IV image-processing engine and the efficient, rechargeable lithium-ion battery which has been slimmed down to fit into thinner camera bodies work together to extend the shooting time of the DMC-FH20. This lets users take approx. 300 shots on a single battery charge.

2 Stars Very nice multi-feature compact, but people images are poor.
Purchased the Panasonic Lumix FH20 for the multiple features and was especially pleased with the ‘IA’ mode, it’s 28-144 mm equivalent 8X zoom, SD, SDHC, SDXC memory, long battery life and this camera’s compact size.

Numerous positive attributes of this Panasonic FH20 have been presented by other reviewers.

Unfortunately all our attempts at capturing people images were uniformly disappointing. We considered buying the Panasonic SZ1, SZ3, SZ5, SZ6 and even the SZ7. These cameras have similar and even better features than the FH20, and the latter all have Leica Lens, and all these cameras are rated highly. When our FH20′s people pics were transferred to a 19″ screen, the colors were so poor in facial features as to be unacceptable. All the people pics looked cyanotic and it was impossible to post process the images to improve the bluish lips and sickly appearance that the Panasonic electronics suffered on all the people images we captured. This was true regardless of the lighting when these numerous images were acquired. To minimize subjectivity, I strongly suggest visiting [...] and evaluating images on ‘Comparometer’. Compare the mannequin color with a known, good image, or simply transfer your people images to your own computer and assess faces, lips, eyes etc. Returned our FH20 today after two weeks of taking pictures.

Would still really like a compact point and shoot with all the great features of the before listed Panasonic Lumix cameras but desire the pics of people to look healthy and show correct contrast, saturation and hues. I was unable to fix any of our deficient ‘people’ images with “Photoshop Elements”. We currently own a 2006 Canon A630 and a 2008 Canon SX10is and we’d purchase a Canon SX200is or a SX210is, for better people pics. Want a compact that has similar features as the listed “Lumix”, but the listed Canons SX’s are pricier and also have their own flaws.

My background includes years of experience with SLR film cameras as well as digital image acquisition and subsequent post processing. Still looking to buy a digital with features most similar to the Panasonic Lumix ZS5, but want and demand better people images. Thought this ‘FYI’ might be of benefit to those want an all around compact digital camera that also capture good people face pics. Do research and hunt the good camera.

5 Stars what a great camera!
this is an exceptional camera. it takes beautiful pictures and videos and is crazy easy to use. the only thing i would strongly suggest is to purchase the camera ANYPLACE ELSE THAN AMAZON.COM! there customer service sucks as well as there shipping

5 Stars Lumix
This is a great camera. I went to a couple of independent product websites to see what the best point and shoot cameras were and this camera kept coming up as recommended, I see why. It is easy to use and takes super pictures and video. The sound on the video is amazing. Pictures very sharp. The only problem I had was the 14 mega pixil, takes up so much space that you have to minimize the photos before emailing them to someone or else they are too big to send. Great size ans weight, works well in an urban landscape.

5 Stars Fantastic Point and Shoot Camera
As soon as I got this camera I went outside and took the most beautiful pictures of my garden! It is very simple to use, the features are almost totally fool proof, (And I’d know, I tested them well!) and the quality is great. One note, the file size that the pictures download to on the computer, at least for me were HUGE. They took a long time to download, and you can’t email or attach them to anything really unless you can find a way to reduce the size. I’m still working on it myself. Other than that it’s great. It’s sleek, attractive, easy to carry for smaller hands, and just a really good buy for a beginner.

2 Stars Not That Good in Low Light
I know that point and shoot cameras are not supposed to be that good in low light, and I read reviews stating that this camera was good in low light, so I bought it. Perhaps my expectations are too high, but I believe I should be able to take a picture of someone from 6 feet away, indoors, with the lights on, and with flash on, and not have a picture that looks grainy. The graininess is evenly distributed and it resembles a matte photo print. This has the effect of taking away edge details and making the picture look flat. It is unacceptable to me and I almost prefer to use my older 5MP camera which doesn’t seem to have this problem so much. The same problem occurred to a slightly lesser extent when I took pictures outside on a semi-cloudy day. HD Video has the same graininess in the same light conditions. I suspect this problem is caused either by a less than adequate lens or the jpeg compression. By the way, you cannot select what quality picture you want. The camera uses who knows what compression level and saves everything as jpeg. You can only select from different picture sizes.

Another shortcoming of this camera is the build quality. The battery door is made of a flimsy plastic that can easily break if you are not careful while it is open. I also don’t like the shape of the edges of the camera. They are rounded in such a way that the camera feels like it will slip out of my hands.

The only plus side I found with this camera was the relative speed of the shoot cycle. I think it is something like 1 or 1.5 seconds between pictures, and it feels peppy. Not sure about the claims of a fast shutter. I was using the “intelligent” auto setting and there were times when the picture had some blur around my subject who was moving around slowly.

For what it’s worth, I was also testing the Olympus Stylus Tough 6000 and it had performed better in the same low light conditions. There was still some graininess, but it was much more palatable to me. Main drawback of the Olympus is the long cycle time.

5 Stars Amazing power in a compact camera!
Unbelievable camera!Shot HD video of my brother’ graduation and I was sitting across the arena! 10x optical zoom plus a 14.2 megapixel camera in a SLEEK design…

WOW!!

Buy it!

1 Star maybe i got a lemon
I am a pro photographer and I bought this as a present for my wife . I usually shoot with nikon dslr’s and the result is great. I bought this and returned it after 1 day. I don’t think that it’s a bad camera inherently. I can only assume that the one i got from amazon was refurbished or something because no matter what I did the picture just wasn’t clear and at 14 megapixels it should be great. I won’t buy cameras from amazon again. I even tested this camera in a few diff stores and the result seemed ok. that’s the problem with buying cameras online and not from a pro camera house. sorry amazon. not cool.

3 Stars Hard to hold
I just watched Nikon’s video on the S8000 and they show the model holding the camera with both index fingers on the top of the camera. Nice … but there is a pop-up flash on the left top, which would prevent this in any low light situation. It is not very user friendly … you have to stop and move your index finger and then pull the flash up manually after it hits your finger and fails to open fully. When your through shooting you have to manually close the flash.

There is no indicator to tell you how much charge is left in the battery.

The sound when watching videos on the camera is barely audible even with volume control attached to zoom. When you connect the camera to your computer the sound is normal … no problem.

The S8000 has a very fast start-up and the zoom is excellent. The colors are beautiful and accurate. Fast and accurate focusing means I get what I shoot but the flash pop-up can slow you down. I don’t think I can live with the flash pop-up. I don’t buy a new camera, that often.

2 Stars Terrible picture quality
I bought the Nikon S8000 thinking that Nikon always delivers good picture quality. I am an avid amateur photographer, and own several Nikon DSLRs which I think are outstanding. Unfortunately, with the S8000 my trust was misplaced. While the camera is sleek with excellent shooting performance, the quality of the images was simply terrible. Even in good outdoor lighting at ISO 100 there is smudging and loss of detail when zooming in to 100%. All the pictures look as if they’re slightly out of focus, and this did not change despite adjusting autofocus settings, anti-vibration settings ets. The quality of indoor shots was even worse. I used this camera for 2 months, and tried every possible setting to fix the image quality. Video quality is excellent, but there is a nagging high pitch sound in all of the footage. If you care about image quality do not buy this camera. I’m selling mine at a loss.

5 Stars Quality point-and-shoot camera
I purchased this camera just prior to a business/sightseeing trip, and am extremely pleased.

10x optical zoom on a camera in this price range is excellent, and the zoom performs quite well. The picture quality is very good on the highest-quality setting (14MP+, which Nikon denotes as “print quality”) – the images produced at this setting are around 6MB apiece.

The camera has a special flash mode for nighttime pictures and it does make a huge difference. Pictures taken at night or in a dark location using this mode are much less washed-out and grainy than I am used to. Also included are the fairly standard steadiness correction and red-eye reduction.

All in all I am impressed with the camera, especially given the price. It is fairly easy to learn to use, especially if you are like me and only want a point and shoot camera, but does have many options to tweak if you wish.

The only downside is that the buttons to switch between modes (picture, video, display) aren’t always immediately responsive, and since you enter and exit video mode with a button on the back of the camera the last second of video is shaky unless you have a very steady hand.

5 Stars Really nice camera, but movie editing needs improving
I have been taking pictures for about 45 or more years and this is my third digital camera, including my wife’s camera. Most of what I like to take is telephoto and macros and this camera is great at both. I have some pictures uploaded of some small white flowers on the back of my fence. They come out very clear. If the slight wind would cooperate, I could do better on some of the shots I took, but I tend to take a dozen to get one good shot anyway.

I can’t add too much more to what has already been said, so I will talk about the one point I think it could be improved. Editing movies. Although no digital camera can compare to a dedicated digital camcorder, they do come out rather well. What my complaint is about is the editing. There are two modes to shoot in. AVCHD Lite and MOTION JPEG. The AVCHD can be played on your big screen TV, although I cannot on mine, maybe not compatible with Samsung TV’s, I don’t know, but my bigger complaint is it cannot be edited on the camera, as my wife’s small Cannon camera can. It can be edited on the computer when uploaded, but then cannot be saved to your hard drive, but it can only be saved to a DVD disc. The JPEG version cannot be edited, but can be saved on to the computer, as easily as it does with my other small cameras. I don’t have any movie editing software on my PC except Windows Movie Maker, which does well for me if I upload movies from my wife’s Cannon, but not this camera, nor my other, the Nikon coolpix. If you shoot a movie in AVCHD mode, and edit it on your PC, you have to keep it on the camera memory chip and wait until you can upload it to a DVD disc. To me this is frustrating. So, depending on what you want to do with the movie you take, you need to be sure which mode you have it in before shooting.

5 Stars Fantastic still and HD camera with loads of manual settings to tweak!
This camera replaces my 5 year old kodak megazoom digital camera (great camera, but after breaking the lens while almost falling off a cliff in Kauai… it never worked the same). I’ve been borrowing my parent’s DSLR camera because the ability to set aperture, shutter speed, and focus (among other reasons), but I got tired of lugging around the large camera plus all the lenses needed to get great nature shots. I wanted something that was more portable but also offered good picture quality, zoom, manual focus, manual settings, and macro functions. I found it here with the FZ35. It’s a great camera that can take very high quality pictures- almost as good as my parents dslr (pentax k50?), but much more portable and less expensive. The other added bonus is the hd video function that you cannot do with most dslrs. Not only is the movie quality excellent, but you’re also able to zoom the complete optical range (18x), use manual settings, including aperture, shutter, and focus and you can even affix lens filters without needing adapters (46mm). I was in a toss up between the Canon and Panasonic- Panasonic won because it’s lighter, smaller, has a larger sensor, lens threading without needing an adapter, and about 100 bucks cheaper. I’m very happy with my purchase and it was worth the 3 week wait (backordered on amazon).

5 Stars A very good everyday shooter
I’ve only had this product a short time. But what I know is that with what time I’ve had with this camera, I have been very pleased with the picture quality. One thing I had do is set the camera to “P” mode as the Auto function is setting the ISO way too high. Having said that, however, the pictures that it produced with iA are still very acceptable, even at high ISO.

The camera and its multitude of functions are very easy to learn, if, and I say “If” you already have a lot of knowledge with photography. This kind of camera is overkill for my wife, who really is just a Point and Shoot type of person, but the camera is perfect for me. It’s also a tad small on my hand, the Canon SX20 IS is bigger and heavier, if you prefer that kind of feature of your camera.

Unlike many of the reviewers here, I am a Canon loyalist. However, when comparing this camera with the SX20, aside from the additional bells and whistles the Canon has, there is not much difference in picture quality. And even though I am a photography geek, I am not a pixel peeper, so what happens at 100% magnification when looking at the picture on your computer monitor, doesn’t matter much to me. If I can get a good 4×6 or 5×7 with this camera, I am happy. And this camera proved very capable of that. I will actually try printing a 13×19 and see what that would look like. So in this case, price really was the deciding factor in my decision to purchase this camera.

As an everyday type of camera, this is perfect. I can only comment on the pictures and ease of use at this time. I cannot say anything about the video as I have not had time to use it.

PS. The only reason I kept referring to the Canon SX20 IS is because that is the camera that is compared the most with the FZ35.

5 Stars Panasonic -Reviews.
Excellant quality – camera – Works well out of the Box – Kids look Great and playing soccer and Macro works well also, i got rid of the bulky cameras for one that has everything i am doing – macro, presets, Video – they sound great. – i was skepitical but the price was right and the camera works well – the kids like it to.

5 Stars What a camera
I am by no means a professional. I have a point and click 2.0 MP camera that is about 8 years old. Definitely time for an upgrade. I wanted a camera that takes great pictures with ease allowing me to focus on the actual picture. I also wanted a camera that I can grow with, tinker with and change settings. Well in this price range it was a toss up between this and the Canon, both great cameras from the reviews I read. Both cameras had their advantages and disadvantages, however for what I needed, the panasonic was the choice for me. This camera takes awesome pictures, it really excells at outdoor photography I am truly amazed at the clarity and vibrancy of colors. Indoors it does well too. I have not used the video function but I’m sure there will be no complaints there. The battery life is remarkably long considering the camera that im used to with 4 AA batteries. I prefer the battery pack over AA batteries. Charging takes about 1.5-2.0 hours not bad. This camera is fun and easy to use and I recommend it. You will want to get a camera bag to protect and carry the camera. Most of the bags out there are over priced, too big too small or lame. I came across m rock and the quality is supperb. The bag fits my camera and misc stuff perfectly it is stylish, versitle and the owner was very prompt with questions (we are talking within the day between 12/20-12/29) Definitely check out MRock camera bags.
