*Total price for the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FH5 are estimated and may vary slightly based on exact tax, shipping, manufacturer rebate or any sale/promotion on the merchant site.
Pros: Nice pictures, had a lot of various shoot choices, 16 megapixels wow! Tiny, good for pocket, but buy a case for it asap. Has a little memory enough for 10-11 full size shots, for those who haven't purchased the sd card (dirt cheap right now). Very nice
Cons: A few flaws, first..record play switch, should have been put on top of camera instead.
Also, software only in Windows no Mac version but you really don't need it, Iphoto covers everything.
Not a camera for big hands.
Screen gets prints on it easily
Summary: Only a few nitpicking flaws, otherwise a fantastic camera for a good price, you will not be disappointed.

Description:The ultra compact 16.1 mega pixel Lumix DMC-FH5 features retractable, high quality 28mm wide-angle Leica DC lenses with a 4x optical zoom. With the retractable lens, the Lumix FH5 has approximately 20% slimmer profiles than their predecessors, while still maintaining exceptional performance. The intelligent resolution technology realizes optimum signal processing to give the entire image outstanding natural clarity. When you don't know which mode will give you the best shooting results, or when a sudden photo opportunity pops up and you don't have time to make any settings, simply choose the iA mode and let the camera do it all for you. In addition, the intelligent resolution technology is always activated in the iA mode which results in the clearer and higher image quality in every photo with extended zoom range equivalent to 5x by the intelligent zoom. Once you focus on your subject, the AF tracking automatically tracks it until you press the shutter. When you're taking images of an active subject, like children or pets, this function eliminates the need to press the shutter button halfway down repeatedly to readjust the focus. The AF tracking makes sure you don't miss those once-in-a-lifetime shooting opportunities.
