Comments about Panasonic Lumix DMC-FS25 Digital Camera (Black):
I'm really impressed with this little camera. It takes great quality photos and is small enough that I can always have it with me. The joystick control is especially easy to use, at least if you have small hands. Not sure how well it would work for someone with large fingers. Although there are many settings and manual controls available, I've found that the intelligent auto setting more times than not takes photos that are just as good or better than when I use my own settings.

Haven't printed any pix on paper yet but so far they seem sharp, deep, and vibrant (unlike my Nikon Coolpix). Video is good, but cannot zoom once you hit play. Controls are easy.

Comments about Panasonic Lumix DMC-FS25 Digital Camera (Black):
I purchased this camera for my wife. It's a great little camera. Good image quality. Strong flash. Excellent optics. Very nice AI-mode.
This camera takes pictures far nicer than one would expect at this price-point.
Small delay when you press the shutter - but, that is pretty much the norm on all these small cameras. Certainly better than most in its class.
Pros
- Bright LCD
- Comfortable Controls
- Easy Setup
- Easy to Keep Clean

Cons

Comments about Panasonic Lumix DMC-FS25 Digital Camera (Black):
LCD good in bright sun light IA mode works well flash mode excellent, excellent wide angle to telephoto zoom, lag time slow but no big deal or unless you are taking a lot of action shots, still need to read manual more for other features. If you want a camera that you can put in your pocket and has a lot of latitude this is it.

Comments about Panasonic Lumix DMC-FS25 Digital Camera (Black):
An ideal camera for vacation, or anytime. Quality optics and easy operation. Not sure I fully buy into the "Leica" lable on the lens, but that is beside the point. This is a great camera to have with you anytime, just pull it out and shoot when the opportunity is there. Its all I take on vacation and most family events. Its small enough to be unobtrusive and the LCD screen on the back means there's no camera in front of your face to intimidate people. An excellent value. I had an earlier model Lumix for about 5 years and am very happy to have upgraded to this model.
