This is a great little camera! I had an older version of the Lumix and loved it! It had been dropped several times, but I hated to give it a final resting. I then found this little one and it is 10 times BETTER than the old one! I love ths bigger screen, image stablization, and all the other fun little features included in this sleek little camera! I would reccomend this to all my friends and family. Big, BIG bang for your buck!
