the device is phenomenal wide angle allows pictures fantastic landscape. My only regret is not having bought the DMC 8, cheaper but lacks the GPS which I came back and that is a totally useless gadget: to locate the satellites must leave the device which has the open effect of draining the battery; for my first use I have only 35 photos instead of 150, which is not important if you can reload quickly but which can be problematic if you are at the other end of the world ...
