Conclusion: Good while it lasted


Review: Used for about 16 months as a compact 2nd camera. Took about 1000 pics altogether. Although I treated camera w/ respect, the auto focus stopped working any time the optical zoom setting is anything less than 50% of range (most shots). Pics come out very blury. I dont know if this is a common or unusual failure mode for this camera.

The video mode never worked very well - colors were way off and NO SOUND. Even very cheap cameras come w/ microphones - this one doesn't and that IMO is a design flaw.

It sadens me that this camera will now start its 10,000 year decomposition in a landfill.

Conclusion: Problems


Review: I have had this camera for a year. For at least 6 months now, it has had a white spot that randomly shows up somewhere in most pictures. Now about 1 1/2 to 2 months ago it just became blurry. I didn't drop it and didn't change any settings from how I normally use it. Most all of the pictures are blurry now, once in a while one will look okay. I have tried a lot of different things and ready the manual and nothing has helped. Since it would cost less to get a new one then have it checked out, I'm buying a new one. I am actually buying another Panasonic, a TZ3, which has good reviews and ratings. I like to think that I just got a lemon and this new one will be fine.

Conclusion: Good camera for the price.


Review: I had read all the previous reviews on this product that I could find before buying it. Every other review I read was right on the money. This is a great camera for the price. It's quick to start and move from picture to picture, very easy to use and has a lot of features if you like features to play with. The only problem this camera has is that the flash is a little too bright for close use. When the flash goes off the picture washes out. Other than that for outdoor use which is primarily why I bought it, the pictures are beautiful.

Conclusion: ALL YOU NEED


Review: This is the second DMC-LS75S I have purchased. I feel like you can't do better for your money. You can use a picture from this on your screen saver and the picture will still look great. And it has the fastest shutter speed I can find, so it's great for action shots.

Review: We ordered this camera after doing alot of research on the internet. We had also decided at the last minute to purcase a new camera for our trip to Germany, and we couldn't have been more excited about this camera! There are so many settings on this camera that are actually a lot of fun to play around with and get good at...don't let that intimidate you though because without all those (fun & easy to learn) setting we would not have gotten half of the shots we did...so many at night, church steeples as the sun was setting, it's a great camera!! Our friend who went with us bought the same one with a few more features felt the same, was fun to learn and thrilled with the results!! Awesome point & shoot camera!!
