Reviews

Great camera for the money, July 5, 2010

By Lisa Hamilton

This review is from: Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS5 12.1 MP Digital Camera with 12x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom with 2.7-Inch LCD (Silver) (Electronics)

The camera overall takes great photos I would have given it a 4 1/2 star if I could have. I am extremely happy! Took it on vacation and it took excellent photos for a small camera. I love that it fits into a pocket after years of lugging around Canon SLRs. I did have a photo I tried to print that could not be made into an 8X10 because of noise, 5x7 print was fine. It was a photo that had lots of varied colors and movement. Other than that 1 all the others came out as I expected. And other photos I could print to 8X10 with no problems. It took great video clips even from a moving vehicle of the ocean. It was a great buy.
