Panasonic Lumix DMC-FP8 12.1MP Digital Camera with 4.6x POWER Optical Image Stabilized Zoom and 2.7 inch LCD (Black)

#1: Panasonic Lumix DMC-FP8 12.1MP Digital Camera with 4.6x POWER Optical Image Stabilized Zoom and 2.7 inch LCD (Black) Reviews!

I purchased this camera because the portable Olympus FE-230 I previously used for my past 2 summer trips was inconsistent in picture quality. I travel as a leader for a student group and have so much other stuff to carry that I want a camera that slips in to my pocket and obviously takes great photos. My mother has a Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ3 that takes exceptional pictures, so I looked in to getting one myself. The DMC-FP8 was top rated in Consumer Reports and turned out to be all that I wanted and more. The size is what I was looking for, the picture quality is excellent, and there are so many extra features that I wasn't even planning on but I got with this camera! I have just returned from 3 weeks in Europe and took about 1500 pictures. The clarity, color, and overall quality is fantastic. I was able to get larger shots in the frame when others I was with could not. I was also able to zoom in from quite a distance and capture a great photo. Battery life was very good, and ease of menu and options was simple. I will say that the one down side to the camera as noted by other reviewers is the ability to catch your finger in the photo due to the lens being located on the left side of the camera. However, I quickly adjusted my "habit" of grasping the camera over the front when taking two handed pictures, and at other times could easily take a photo just using my right hand only. Overall: I'm very pleased with the camera and thankful that I chose to get it prior to my trip! I would highly recommend the Lumix DMC-FP8!
