I am quite surprised at how good the images are that I’m getting, especially jpegs. I’m used to shooting raw because I get better files and can squeeze a bit more juicy goodness out of my photos that in-camera jpeg processing does. Surprisingly, this camera does a great job with jpegs in good light situations. That’s the important idea to keep in mind, good light. Kirk Tuck gives this camera a fine review, but realize that he’s a lighting pro, who has written several (good) books on the subject.
IMO this camera is targeted toward two markets. For those moving up from a point and shoot, it’s wonderful. It’s familiar and less intimidating than an SLR. It can create better images than even the best point and shoots. The price is reasonable. It’s attractive and it’s a lot lighter than an SLR.

Published January 23, 2011 | is there much difference between LEICA lens and panasonic one LUMIX?
i want to buy a panasonic lumix cam,, but some have LEICA LENS and the other panasonic own LUMIX lens,, i just want nice family photos and stuff like that,, nothing profesional but nice clear photos.. any advice please?
Answer
Panasonic do have a range of cameras which uses Leica lenses. The Leica lens are definitely better than the ones that Panasonic uses and even Panasonic markets it as such -i.e. the Leica equipped Panasonic are the high end model.
A good lens will give a sharp photo (even at the corners), low chromatic aberrations (the colour fringing you may see when you blow up the photo). If you have decided on Panasonic, then it is clear that the Leica lens ones are better. You will have to decide if the higher price is within your budget.
