Customer Review: If you want a fast shooting point and shoot with clear pictures this is it
Summary: 5 Stars
Got this camera after reading how responsive it was and how nice the pictures were.
My wife and I were looking for a camera that we would use on AUTO setting 99% of the time that would take consistent good quality pictures.
I bought a canon sd1300 (great reviews) after our canon sd750 broke. We were so happy with the sd750 that I gave canon another chance. Well I must have had a defective unit because I shot pictures on auto and they all came out yellow and blurry, I returned it and after coming to amazon and reading reviews (fun and addictive) I thought I would give Lumix a try. I was looking for #1 clear pictures and #2 fast shooting. (taking lots of pictures of kids and have to focus and shoot fast even indoors)
Well I got it from Discountjungle through amazon and the shipping was VERY FAST
It is the fastest point and shoot I've tried compared to other canon point and shoot cameras I've owned.
The picture clarity is very good. I'd say at least 95% as good if not equal to our old canon sd750. Taking pictures indoors and in darker rooms indoors the pictures came out very good!
The construction sees solid and it weighs more than I thought it would.
The camera is very responsive. I'd say at least twice as fast as my last Canon.
Unlike what another reviewer stated you CAN zoom in and move around the pictures while in view mode. Just use the zoom toggle to zoom in and use the 4 directional buttons to move around on the picture.
I was also concerned where the placement of the lens was due to reading other reviews, but I'm right handed and it hasn't been a problem at all. In fact, what they didn't say was, the placement of the flash is perfect being in the middle because on my old canon the flash would sometimes get covered my my hand causing less effective flash.
This camera has made me want to try a higher end Lumix that may give me even better images but this one is the perfect fit for what I was looking for. Like another reviewer stated in there review about one of the Lumix cameras, using auto setting, the camera won't let you take a bad picture LOL, after owning Canons and having to wait for the pre focus etc, I know what they were talking about now. The Canons would take great pictures if you would hold the button down 1/2 way and wait for the camera to focus etc before pressing fully, and I didn't have a problem with this, but my wife never got the hang of it. So ~20% or so of the pictures she took would have problems because she hurried the camera. It seems that the Panasonic Lumix FP8 does things differently or either processes things so quickly you never have to wait on it. This will suit her much better.
