@@Noah-gz7by i cant say its quite beatiful compare to new cameras but it works and it is enough for me. Maybe your mic is dusty you can think clean with a little stick?
Probably the best compact camera available for the money. The optical zoom will only go to 5x when shooting at highest resolution, when shooting at lower res, the optical zoom is increased - I noticed you had it set at only 5MP in the video. Good review :)
Thanks mate glad you like the review. All and all I am really happy with the Lumix, its great for night shots providing you uses a tripod of course due to the long exposure times. The only issue I really have with it is when you are recording video. (see second Post)
@polo78921 i have just this second tested it, no it don't seem to auto focus when recording, you have to set that up first by half pressing the shutter button. nor can you zoom once recording...
Great video mate.I have just brought it myself which is my first ever digital camera.How much was your tripod and where did you get it from? I will be mainly using it for taking pictures indoors of my reptiles and filming them.Is the quality good indoor?
Thanks for the video! This was really informative ! I ordered my lumix now :D but I think it would have been better if you had shown some pictures...especially night shots...I read that this is a problem for the lumix...but I´ll see on my own! Thanks a lot!
@charisk123 i am pity sure its not a fault i think is a characteristic of the camera. i noticed this on mine also, however mine does not have a problem focusing, nor does it pick up any of these lines on the picture that i take. i sometimes see these lines in video mode a swell but they are recorded to video sometimes especially at night when the camera picks up street lights.
@krtica15 yeah you can zoom in video mode but not when you are shooting, you have to set the zoom you want first then start to record. and yeah as far as i am aware it has continuous autofocus in video mode, you dont have to set it manually it's all auto) hope this helps :-)
@chasingsecrets you need to import the video that you shot with the FS10 into a video editing program like Corel videostudio then render it out as a suitable file for facebook/youtube, i think videostudio has an option in its rendering specificity for youtube HD, also look at Cyberlik Power director
@makeupbeautystar mmmm i'm not sure why they wont upload, maybe the file you are trying to upload it to large, how big is the file and how long? if you find it to big you will probably have to convert it with video editing software. I use Cyberlink power director just for this! it has a youtube HD preset in it, i also think Corel videostudio prox3 offers this as well...hope this helps
I have 2 of these. I can’t get them to charge and i don’t have the charger. What i do have is the USB cable. I’ve tried that but i get nothing. Could it be a bad battery or are my units borked?
@SklhroiXeimwnes Hello do you mean manual exposure and aperture / shutter times etc? If so then the answer is no, this is more of an automatic camera really. However it does have 25 different scene modes but if you require more manual control then I don’t think this is the camera for you hope this helps
Good review my friend!!I have a question....can i change the "seconds" when i take a photo?My english sucks sorry for that...but i want to change the 1/100 and all this...to have more time when i take a photo...u know like 15 seconds or something...and do something with my laser :P ..........maybe u don't understand..but thank you anyway
@neo36uk Thanks for the reply :) I was wondering about autofocus because i cant see it in other videos, i mean they are pretty much focused, but i cant see it refocusing on some closer objects. Thanks for help!
I hjust bought my cam and when moving around in daylight i see pink and blue verrtical lines when the camera try to focus, but even if i stay still camera cannot focus and pink/blue shows until i press the button halfway to focus (mainly when there are host and long distance objects). is it a camera characteristic or is it a problem ?
In terms of picture quality, i have managed to take a lot of awesome photos with this camera. if you know how you can take good pictures with most cameras.
Have you tried uploading any videos from that camera onto youtube, because when I try it tells me it will take 78 hours! and facebook just can't cope at all.
@neo36uk At night there are horrible blue like lines that appear in the screen and in the recorded video, they only seem to appear when the camera moves past a street light or something similar. I'm pity sure its not a fault but just a characteristic of the camera, maybe firm ware update will fix it in the future? If you can give me your email I can mail you some night shots of the stills.
@SuperLedLed personally i would not recommend it for that, the sound is very poor, low bit rate...i suppose if you are after that sound though then yeah.

I think this is a great review, good job. I am also now thinking of getting this instead of the lumix TZ7 wich is alot more expensive. thanks

Great review! Is it possible to zoom in video mode and does it have continuous autofocus also in video mode? Thanks :)

how much is you sd capacity in your camera? (this camera) coz it can record 8 minutes hd video
Do you think the Camera would be good at recording loud instruments? (Drums)
@chasingsecrets yeah i just remove the SD card and plug it into a card reader
does this camera focus when recording ? like auto focus ?? x thankyou meganxxx
@ZenithZephyroth it is a 4gig card
@SuperLedLed personally i would not recommend it for that, the sound is very poor, low bit rate...i suppose if you are after that sound though then yeah.
