While I have not purchased from Amazon because I have received a great group rate to a competitor, this device is worth seeing. It leads to pictures whose quality is almost that of an SLR. To say that automation are performing, certainly, but they are learning all the functions A, S, P, etc. will lead to what is called "do photography", which takes work! The zoom is fabulous, its pleasant grip the display and the viewfinder are suitable for use both inside and outside and of course the constant focal length of 2.8 is required. This means that inside flash was almost not needed and that whatever the used zoom value, we always have enough light, which is a practice not possible in the forest for example. It has less: panning is only there for business reasons, you should use the supplied software to obtain more conclusive results. The manual focus is possible either via a knob or a side lever which compared to an SLR in a circular ring which is less convenient. The record is damn bad because this is just a list of functions without explanations for beginners and there is no book dedicated to this unit apart a book in German. As for the videos they are hyper swift and ultra-fast function to decompose eg the beating of wings of a butterfly. He has no wifi or GPS, that's normal it's a camera, not a gas plant. There are many sites on the Lumix overflowing with tips and tricks of all kinds. Afficionado of the picture, I think it is the Bridge of 2012-2013 all brands.
