I bought this camera because of their maneuverability and speed. I was not disappointed and in terms of image quality. in intelligent mode very good pictures, but in P mode really absolutely brilliant images, 3-D images without noise and very nice. Easily create panoramic pictures and very effective. But the best is the Autofocus.-I have never ... and really never experienced such a fast autofocus in compact camera segment and I had quite a few cameras to the sample. Had recently the Sony HX10V, very good pictures but far too slow compared to the Pana DCM SZ9 !!! When Pana convinced of image stabilization !! Succeed in consequence of the low-noise SZ9 brilliant colorful pictures, with a very good image stabilizer and extremely fast autofocus !!! I would buy this camera again at any time! A worthy successor to the declared than mediocrity in many so-called Focus testing cameras, was rated quite wrongly, the predecessor (SZ7) was very good but the SZ9 sets new standards in the compact class. 10x zoom with very compact dimensions.
