not great 151

Good optics (for this format and range of focal lengths), auto focus and correct firing speed (without saying more). The electronic viewfinder with diopter is very handy (hurray for that, this is rare for a dune that size device). Efficient optical stabilizer.

Unfortunately there are also a lot of flaws:
the noise level is very high and the noise reduction (too aggressive) is even more damage. So 18 Mpix no use much (except under conditions of very good lighting) and the effective resolution is degraded quickly (as if the photo was taken by a smartphone!). Big file is generated for nothing. Generally the actual resolution is not better than 12Mpix.

The autonomy of the battery is ridiculous, specifically with GPS (even in standby). Do not leave without a replacement battery. Even without GPS it discharges hyper fast (
A connection cable is like a micro-USB cable but his grip is specific Panasonic. So always bring along, as well as a USB AC adapter (not supplied) or laptop car charger standard micro-USB from your mobile phone will not be compatible!
Panoramic mode could be a great asset but limited digital resolution in this mode make it actually quite unitule (images of poor good resolution for web only)
