Have the Lumix under LF1 for 3 weeks in constant use very different conditions. The macro blur occurs in my Copy only in the on wide angle setting, otherwise not. The images are clear and sharp to the corners. The monitor is easier to read, even in sunlight than in other Compact cameras. The viewfinder is small but can be in difficult situations an image control to. Overall, I'm with the equipment, the manual controls and the image quality very satisfied.
