This is a great little camera, just what I was looking for. More than a point and shoot but less complicated than the DSLR cameras. It is easy to use and the photos are crisp, crisp, clear and vibrant. Thanks for offering this camera at
a great price.

Comments about Panasonic Panasonic DMC-ZS5 Black 12.1 Megapixel Digital Camera:

I have only had this camera for a few weeks. Used it last weekend to take some action shots at a football game. The pictures are awesome. The zoom is fantastic and the image stabilization is great, too. I cannot believe a camera so small can do so many things! This is the second Panasonic camera I have owned - passed the first onto my high shcool aged son and he loves it! Would highly recommend.

Comments about Panasonic Panasonic DMC-ZS5 Black 12.1 Megapixel Digital Camera:

This camera does it all. There is a reason why Lumix cameras are rated so high, and this model is no exception. The only semi-weak point is the comparatively slow lens speed, but for this amazing zoom range, I wouldn't call it slow. I could only suggest they add an HDMI port. If you're trying to decide between a point & shoot, or a DSLR, this camera will tied you over for quite some time. Check out the zoom camparo pics.
