Good Basic Digital Camera

I bought this camera because of the Leica lens. I've not been disappointed. Features a good zoom length -- 35mm equivalent of 35 (wide angle) to 105 (2x telephoto). I use NiMH batteries in it. I have a bunch of them so I always have a bunch of ...

Durable, great pictures in good ambient lightSD Memory cards are convenient

One requirement that they inadequately tested

The video cam function works! Good outdoors camera, and sunsets and night stills render beautifully.

The viewfinder sucks, which means you can't take great pictures in low light.

World's leading "Leica" lense, Macro mode, 20 sec video with sound, easy to use

Freeze the Action with Mega Burst!

Overview – The Mega-Bust feature made the Panasonic camera’s stand out from the pack, and it was the main reason for my choice. The digital revolution was passing me by, so I finally decided to get on board. I wanted a small camera that I...

Nice little camera and the Mega Burst features makes it more fun

This entry level model lacks some features I could have used

Panasonic DMC-LC20

The DMC-LC20 is a very good entry level digital camera. It takes good pictures in all situations. The auto settings mode doesn't work very well in bright sunlight but there is another outdoor mode that works quite well. The main downside to this...

Multiple "auto" modes. SD memory cards. Uses AA batteries. Good picture quality

Only 3x zoom
