Great little camera, “Why pay more?”,
I am really impressed with this camera. I had a more expensive Canon that I was replacing after it was damaged and I was expecting an inferior camera because of the price. Also I was not very familiar with the Panasonic line of cameras. My wife convinced me to buy this one after we reviewed the specs and reviews (most on other variations of this basic version i.e., FH1-20). Because of our budget we opted for this model and were we surprised by it’s performance and quality! The lower number of pixels is really not a disadvantage unless you are planning to make large posters and the advantages are, more pictures on the battery and a few other things (more pictures per second in Burst mode for example). The camera is simple to use but it also has advanced features that enable you to take sunset views, action shots, close ups, bright back lighting conditions etc. etc.
My first shot after I opened the box was of a rotating ceiling fan with the light on. What a beautiful photo! The next one was of a close up of a page in the instruction manual. Another crystal clear image. If you happen to get a poor image just search the advanced instruction manual (on supplied CD) and you will find how to do it better next time. Or, if you are lazy, just use the Auto Mode on all your shots and I assure you that you will not be displeased with the results except in unusual conditions.
If you decide to buy an extra battery from Amazon it will be more powerful than the one supplied and you will get more photos per charge but the one included is adequate. Some memory is built into the camera but I advise that you buy a memory card to supplement it. By the way the camera takes great movies too. With the 8 GB card I purchased I can take 8 minute clips (I am not sure if the card or the camera is the limiting factor).
All in all I can only say, “Why pay more?”.

|Nice camera and a bargain also,
I have been pleased with the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FH1. I have also purchased an 8GB SD card to use with it so I would not run out of storage space in a normal day of vacationing. It is a little larger in size than my Canon Power Shot SD1100 IS but it will still fit in your jeans pocket so you don’t have to carry around a camera bag. The view screen is about as large as would fit on the camera. Because it is a 12mb camera, you can do a lot of cropping and still end up with a printable picture. The best thing I can say about the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FH1 is that I would buy it again for myself and recommend to my friends. The Amazon’s price is right on this camera.
