The camera is characterized by its features and processing. Unfortunately, me - induced noise performance to return the camera back to Amazon - insufficient, in my view. As with many Panasonic cameras act the images, unless they have been recorded under optimal light conditions, blurred in my observation and noisy. This is certainly not only at ISO 400 and more the case, but unfortunately already on location with ISO 100. I had previously had a Canon Ixus 870, has received considerably less noise, the far better pictures.
