Panasonic Câmera Digital Lumix DMC-LS85K (Preta)

I bought this little point and shoot, or as I like to call it, a "think and shoot" after much deliberation. I researched compacts for about three months before plunking[$] (gasp!) into the LS85.ProsThe camera is Awesome! The lens is sharp enough for a compact, it's not SLR sharp. The focal length range is useful as well. I use it everyday as my "carry everywhere" camera. I had a Rebel XT before, but I don't really miss it. I use it mostly for macro, it's close focusing distance is really useful. The long exposures are nice, but you can only use 15, 30, and 45 second exposures. It's shutter is REALLY quiet, I have to listen very closely to hear it. The battery life is more than adequate. My rechargeable NIHM batteries last for about 400 shots; I rarely use flash though. Despite the AA power supply, I find that the camera still fits in my pocket. One of the best things about the camera is the user interface, the q.menu is very efficient, it contains every setting you would want to change quickly. The hard buttons also allow access to frequently changed settings, (Timer, Flash, Exposure Comp, and Macro).ConsThere really aren't that many:The flash is underpowered, drains the battery quickly, and causes red eye. The transfer from the camera via the cable is really slow... Low light focus is slow and the AF beam is kind of obnoxious.Zoom is a little noisy, I'm nit-picking here.All and all, if you take pictures of things that don't move: Macro, food, landscapes, posed portraits, interesting street happenings, patterns, shadows, flowers, cars, houses, ect. ect. this camera is the one you want!There is really no need to spend a lot of money on a compact, they are allllll good these days. If you're really into pixel peeping, taking pictures of sports, tracking moving objects, or taking pictures after the sun goes down, try on a DSLR.I hope my review has been helpful!
