As a basic camera perfectly adequate - but room for improvement

This camera is very well suited as a base camera.
Not just for children.
Even as a replacement camera or for the car.
They do not have all the functions of an FX37 but at least on an initial aperture of 1: 2.5 and a 5x zoom.
Add to that a 24mm wide angle.
Image quality is surprisingly good.
Poorer reviews are maybe at the wrong settings.
From a camera in the price range 100-150 euros you can not expect the perfection of a camera from 400 euros one.
The existing functions range from completely but for a basic camera.
A camera bag is at this price, unfortunately, not there.
This, however you can get in any supermarket for about 5 euros.
Possibly also in the form of a "Handytasche".

Negative point at all Panasonic cameras is the fact that in almost every camera, a new battery will be due and a new charger.
This would be a case for excessive regulation by the EU Commission.
Bad for the environment and your wallet. Only good for the sales of Panasonic.
Why always have a battery, a millimeter thinner, thicker, wider or narrower than the other be?

Another negative point: The compartment for SD memory and battery is without spring tension and can easily fall off when opening lax.
This could certainly be improved, because that makes a really cheap impression.
Something like you is not to expect from Panasonic.
For 1 star deduction.
