Review 1 of 11

Price Paid: $0.00 from on line don't rememb

Summary:

Bought camera brand new for auction pictures. Was happy with quality for that purpose. But after about a year camera broke. It turns on but will not show the image to take the picture.

Strengths:

Easy to use. Decent pictures for the price

Weaknesses:

Only 2 pictures per battery set, so must use with power cord. Camera broke way too soon in my opinion.

Customer Service:

I did not receive the instructions to use the software and it was not available online. I had to actually argue with the company to get them to mail me the brochure on how to use the software.

Review 2 of 11

Summary:

This is a great little camera for beginners. I puchased mine because I needed pictures for an auction site. It is very simple to use and the price is excellent. The pictures are clear and crisp. Since I am a beginner, I didn't want to invest a lot of money in a camera and can say I wasn't disappointed in my choise. I use this camera not only for my auction pictures, but also for vacations, family outings, or just around the house. I highly recommend this one.

Strengths:

Easy to use. Low price. Clear, crisp pictures.

Weaknesses:

I haven't found any.

Review 5 of 11

Summary:

The camera lacks a tripod connection and a self timer. I find it impossible to take a close photo without movement. As a result, the photo always turns out blurred.I also recently bought an iMac which has the USB connection and not serial. So I purchased a USB to serial adapter, but it doesn't work. It seems the converter support all the other cameras but the Panasonic.All in all I'm very disappointed with the camera.The camera was a gift so I'm blameless for buying the camera. I just curse the person who gave it to me every time I try use it.My advise to Panasonic is to continue making excellent stereos and forget about digital cameras.
