DMC-ZS5K LUMIX 12.1 MP Digital Camera (Black)
(PNDMCZS5K)
Pros: Good Image Stabilization, Rapid focus, Good Image Quality, Fast/accurate auto-focus, Open flash v "open flash", Small / Compact, Easy To Use, Good in Low Light, Short Lag Time
Cons: Maybe a plug Mic
Other Comments: Had a ZS3 which I gave to the kids so they could have zoom with movie mode. Made the mistake of buying a competitor with a shutter lag of a year and a half (when compared to a kid doing something cute)and a write lag longer than charging a fully discharged flash. Don't you do the same. It's compact, friendly, forgiving of operator mistakes and takes a very good picture.
Yes, I recommend this product

(PNDMCZS5K)
Pros: Large Clear LCD, Short Lag Time, Good in Low Light, Good Image Stabilization, Great Zoom, Small / Compact, Good Image Quality, Nice Body Color
Cons:
Other Comments: I did some research and found that this camera was the best camera for the quality, features and price. It's better overall than a point and shoot but not bulky like a DSLR. I love that I can adjust it to the situation. The video is great too. Love the shutter speed and the super zooming.

DMC-ZS5K LUMIX 12.1 MP Digital Camera (Black)
(PNDMCZS5K)
Pros: Large Clear LCD, Good in Low Light, Small / Compact, Good Image Stabilization, Easy To Use, Short Lag Time, Good Image Quality, Nice Body Color, Great Zoom
Cons:
Other Comments: Outstanding camera.Has many features that are only available in expensive cameras. This is my 3rd Lumix but by far the best equipped. The extended optical zoom is fantastic with no noticeable distortion. Get a small tripod to cope with the combined optical/digital zoom that can go up to X124. It is a monster. Also the wide angle of 25 mm is very convenient for indoor shots. Buydig price was the best on the market and shipping was handled within 24 hrs.

DMC-ZS5K LUMIX 12.1 MP Digital Camera (Black)
(PNDMCZS5K)
Pros: Good Image Stabilization, Nice Body Color, Short Lag Time, Great Zoom, Good in Low Light
Cons:
Other Comments: This camera is the perfect combination for me. It is compact enough to take anywhere and it takes amazing pictures. I particularly like the intelligent auto setting that automatically adjusts to night scene, etc. The pictures I took recently at a wedding were some of the best ones taken because of the 12x zoom and the crisp images. This is my first camera with a rechargeable battery and it doesn't last as long as the lithium ones I am used to. I think I will have to buy a second battery just to be on the safe side when taking lots of pictures.
Yes, I recommend this product

(PNDMCZS5K)
Pros: Great Zoom, Good Image Stabilization, Good in Low Light, Nice Body Color
Cons:
Other Comments: Have used this camera for a graduation and a birthday party. The zoom is great and the camera has a good feel to it. I have not tried video with it yet. I am not very camera savy so this camera is good for me as I don't use many manual settings. I miss a viewfinder but I will get used to it. Overall I love this camera so far.

DMC-ZS5K LUMIX 12.1 MP Digital Camera (Black)
(PNDMCZS5K)
Pros: Great Zoom, Nice Body Color, Short Lag Time, Good Image Stabilization
Cons: Poor Flash
Other Comments: This is my 2nd Lumix. I don`t like the fact that 3MB is the smallest size of picture you cat take, way to large for my 24" monitor(apart of 0.3MB). Waisting tons of memory this way. Panning is a pain. Great for small women hands but watch for slippery holding area. Definitely big upgrade from dozens of same looking cameras seen on supermarket shelfs. Still missing my first Lumix TZ5.
