Sufficient memory is not included.
Don't get caught without memory, get a high-capacity memory card.
Start with a very slender, compact body (3.7 x 2.1 x 0.7"/9.4 x 5.3 x 1.8 cm), add a Leica 4x wide-angle lens (28-112mm equivalent in 35mm format), gently stir in 16.1MP resolution and a 2.7" LCD monitor, and what do you get? A terrific, affordable little digital camera.
The Panasonic Lumix DMC-FH5 Digital Camera (Silver) has everything you could ask for, plus lots of features you might not think of. Like fast autofocus, fast start-up time, and a very short release-time (shutter) lag. Or iA (Intelligent Auto) mode that takes care of everything for you except pushing the shutter button. Shooting beautiful movies in 1280 x 720 HD video is a snap--just push one button. Blurry pictures will be a distant memory with the FH5--sensitivity up to ISO 6400 plus MEGA O.I.S. image stabilization banishes those shaky images forever. You can even shoot up to 4.4 frames per second in Hi-speed Burst mode (recorded in 3MP resolution).
28 different Scene modes (Portrait, Soft Skin, Panorama, Baby 1 and Baby 2, Beach, Candle Light, etc.) will make sure you've got the optimal settings for all the most common photo subjects. 8 color modes (Standard, Vivid, Natural, Black & White, Sepia, Cool, Warm, and Happy) make it easy to get creative with color.

Comments about Panasonic Lumix DMC-FH5 Digital Camera (Silver):
From day one, there have been big spots in the photos. I now have to spend my own money to return it to Panasonic for them to replace it with a refurbished camera which I should then receive in 7 - 10 days according to them.

Comments about Panasonic Lumix DMC-FH5 Digital Camera (Silver):
This is a great product.
High value, low price.
It would be great if you could record more video, though.
With a 16 GB SD card you can record up to 10 min. which is not bad, but could be better. I don't get why you have to cut 10 min videos and not use all the memory in 1 video, for example.
But it's really a very good camera, i highly recommend it

I use the camera almost daily at work as a trade show coordinator. I take pictures of our product at the shop so I am sure to set it up at the tradeshow correctly. The pictures are clear and print out with excellent quality and clarity. Excellent all around camera.

Comments about Panasonic Lumix DMC-FH5 Digital Camera (Silver):
I always have a camera ready for any occasion.
Also take a lot of profile pictures of myself and of
friends(close ups) at happy hours. The camera makes me look better than life. 95% of the photos are clear and with out blur. Really !! I was on a camera buying binge and bought three other cameras from three other manufacturers. They did not have true to life color and had a a lot of blurry shots .I loved Panasonic so much I just bought the FP7 touch digital camera. That one rocks too !!! I will keep both cammys !!

This camera is a real beauty.. It is so tiny, you can easily fit it in your pocket or purse. Though the camera is small, the screen is large enough to see the pic's clearly. Instructions manual is very easy to use so it is designed for anyone at any age level.
