Average Rating : 
Rating :  - Buyer Beware
I've had this camera for 2 years. About 6 months ago, I noticed if I zoomed, the camera would say to shut it off and turn it back on.
About 3 months ago, the flash stopped working.
After googling, these are very common problems, which is nice if you are Panasonic and charge to fix this, but not so great if you are the customer.
Yesterday the camera stopped turning off unless I removed the battery.
I loved the camera while it worked. But after emailing Panasonic, they want me to mail them the camera (at my cost), and they will send me a refurbished one at my cost. I have not received what the cost is or if the refurbed camera is under warranty. After googling again, if you mail your camera back in, you'll have to pray for them to "realize you did this" and to get another camera.
I should have bought a Canon or a Sony.
