              Comments about Panasonic Lumix DMC-FS15 Digital Camera (Silver):

              I bought this camera for a trip to Europe because I didn't want to take my Nikon D80. After one reading of the manual and some practice around town, I found it very easy to use. The menus are intuitive and I had all the functionality at my fingertips. The picture quality is very good. The 12 X zoom has been just right for the pictures of scenery and interiors and people that I took on my trip. The anti-jitter allowed me to take amazing night photos without a tripod. The viewing screen is bright and sharp. I haven't found anything I don't like about this camera.
