After I was disappointed by the so PL100 (blurred and noisy images), I ordered the FS10 and now a week in use. I'm excited! I was looking for a second camera, the Lumix FZ18 besides that every now and can just take. We made many trips and had the camera with me always. So far I have not yet exhausted the camera remotely, but confined myself to the iA mode and small movies. As a snapshot camera, the FS10 is really recommended. I have photographed "on carousel child" before all things and am amazed at how little blurry pictures caused. Since it can not even keep up with the FZ18. The FS10 I find the camera faster. The most difficult subject was on the roller coaster, to snap my family in the car behind me. Everything has so wobbled that I could not even see the subject on the screen and have it easy losgeknipst. To my amazement, the images are crisp and sharp. We have the photos looked at with friends on our 46 "LCD and all were impressed by the image quality. Also, in the short films. In low light, the lightning comes naturally not far, but from a snapshot camera I also do not expect that it transforms a 20sqm large dimly lit room in a sunlit room. In addition, the images on the wide angle succeed much better than at the telephoto. Some complain about the battery, or the price for the second battery. These must be said that there are also more favorable replicas. Anyway worth at the camera purchasing a replacement battery, because it at least gets supplied charger. This is in the PL100 z. B. not the case and there is not even the original camera to this one. Because I would rather the ability to load a second battery independently of the camera, so that is always a loaded ready is - if you need the camera fast times. The case is indeed plastic, but looks very high and stable. Since the surface is matt (at least for black), you can see fingerprints. As entry-level camera, or just a quick "Knips box" for the purse or pocket, the FS10 is definitely recommended. Therefore, you met my entitlements and gets 5 stars because I do not see an entry-level camera with DSLRs - for these small cameras are not designed.
