The impressive spec, especially the range of zoom settings attracted me to this camera.
First the good news, noise seemed much better than I had expected given reviews of other Panasonic cameras.
There are no manual overides which has not bothered me before because I can get the results I want by using Scene modes, usually - in my case - Sports setting.
For (relatively) still subjects all was well.
Problems:
However, the settings Sports mode were frankly bizarre: small f numbers, and slow speeds. I tried other settings to no avail.
It did cross my mind that there was a software fault in the camera, but, fortunately my dealer took it back.
Try before you buy!
