beginner, I was looking for one machine to replace my little camera and I was afraid of not knowing how to use one SLR, hence my choice of this bridge. at the reception (on time) of the Panasonic I was delighted. easy handling and ease of use. 1 true happiness. the first mode Photo self the time to familiarize myself with other settings, have fully satisfied and reassured me about my choice. very good camera at a reasonable price super, I'm super happy.
