Touch Screen Camera with Advanced Manual Functions

Author's Rating:

Pros: Please see review body above

Cons: Please see review body above

Bottom Line:
A camera with a lot of promises but a few serious shortcomings. The best camera available when I purchased it, but now I wish I should've waited for the DMC-LX3.

Loved and unloved features at a new low price!

Author's Rating:

Pros: Ultra wide angle lens, very good all around performance.

Cons: Touch screen is a complication without benefit. Delicate.

Bottom Line:

If you realize the convenience of a wide angle lens, then this ultra wide angle model with no serious performance flaws is a steal at under $200.
