I've had one for a year and a half. Very good device when it is new. Rapid aging of zoom that ends up with fixed focal alert messages. From time to time, we come to recover by gently pulling the goal coming in and getting a sequence ... Then after some time even do nothing mechanical works! It becomes a card reader ... I liked it very efficient compact but it ended with Panasonic, too fragile. I said that I cleaned the zoom mechanism with some compressed air. the improvement was very short .... So I do not recommend. Sorry!
