Despite the few reviews I decided for this Lumix and do not regret this decision. The camera looks great and acts of the processing of very high quality (for example, no rubber cover for data cable's like my older Samsung, but metal-flap).
Also as far as the "inner values", dieKamera met with her 8-times zoom my needs fully, the close-ups are sharp and if you choose the right light settings, the colors are not distorted.
Spontaneous snapshots in automatic mode succeed also, even by my dog who keeps naturally never still.
Operating the camera is easy, the quick start guide almost unnecessary.
Noise I did not, not even at ISO400 and that no case / sleeve for the camera is, I also do not mind if it's really intended to provide protection, I think anyway a hardcase bag useful.
Conclusion: great camera at a reasonable price!
