[cameralabs]

@TheYuck23 I'm not a technical support line - especially if you insult me! Ask Panasonic or a shop which sells them to help.

Great review as always, seems like quite a lovely compact despite no raw capture. How does the screen hold up to fingerprints and dirt?

[cameralabs]

It does get some fingerprints... see our review at cameralabs . com.

This looks like the FX520 not 500 which one is this?

[cameralabs]

They're the same camera - see the intro page of our review at cameralabs . com.

I love you Gordon. You are lovey.

[SPINNER673]

Is there some kind of technical reason why you can't zoom when filming, or is it Panasonic being deliberatly annoying?

[Trollina666]

Haha Gordon is lovely indeed ^^

Thats Queenstown, New Zealand. Taken from the top of the gondola. Awesome place!

I have a question maybe someone can answer. I own the Panasonic DMC-TZ4 which is 8mp and is a couple of years old. One problem with the video is with Continious Auto Focus which really plays havok with the video as it constantly searches for focal points. Panasonic recommends you turn this off for best results. I'm looking to upgrade and this camera looks good. Have Panasonic fixed focus problems with these Lumix cameras? my TZ4 had a firmware update which helped with Macro mode a little.

I would like to know the answear too! There seems to be little that splits them apart.
