I bought this to replace a Sony Cybershot W70, which dropped out of my pocket while hill climbing. I liked the Sony, but my new Panasonic Lumix FS10 is absolutely superb. I especially wanted a lightweight, slim camera that I can put in a trouser pocket – and this camera fits the bill. I have just come back from a holiday and viewed the photos that I took on my computer and on my TV (for which a connector is supplied) – the images are superb. Even those taken at 0.3mp are very good. The 28mm wide angle lens is excellent, as is the optical image stabiliser. The quality of the videos is exceptional and the 2.7″ LCD screen is extremely clear. I would quite like to have had an optical viewfinder, but these are becoming increasingly rare. It would also have been nice to have had a recharging cradle into which the camera could be placed after use, rather than have to remove the battery for charging, but the Sony was the same in this respect. Altogether a superb camera.

This seems a great little camera easy to use and small enough to carry around. It does video, up to 15 mins at a time so I don’t need another video camera. I have the 8GB memory which is plenty.

I’m a complete techn-phobe and a digital camera novice. But after reading the booklet, even I found it straightforward to charge the card and turn it on. Admittedly, I still had to ask for help how to review pix but really, the pic quality is clear (much better than my old APS model) and it is easy to navigate, particularly compared to other models. It has a 2.7 screen and looks very stylish. One slight criticism is that the indoor pix looked slightly gloomy (but a photographer friend) has recommended that any snapper should set it to auto flash to brighten images. I am very pleased with it.
