Perhaps the authors should have titled this Dune: Days of our lives or perhaps Dune: 90210, as the prose is no better than that found in a third-rate soap opera.

I have no real review to write about the Dark Knight.
As a summer movie, I rate it right up there with Iron Man as one
of the two best movies of 08.
I write this as a reminder of the lost we had in the tragic death

Product Description:

Simply set the 8.1-megapixel DMC-FS3 to iA mode and let the four Intelligent Auto functions team up to help prevent shooting errors. Intelligent Scene Selector chooses the mode that best fits the situation; MEGA Optical Image Stabilization (O.I.S.) helps prevent blurring from hand-shake; Intelligent ISO Control helps prevent motion blur; and Face Detection helps produce clear portraits by optimizing the focus and exposure settings. The 33mm Leica DC Vario-Elmarit lens with 3x optical zoom takes wider shots than an ordinary 35mm lens. This is helpful in small rooms or crowded places, for example, letting you fit more people into a group photo. There's also an Easy Zoom button on the camera top - just press it, and the optical zoom and Extra Optical Zoom instantly extend to full telescopic position. This quick zooming lets you catch even fleeting opportunities. The brightness and contrast of the large 2.5" diagonal LCD adjust automatically in 10 steps as ambient light conditions change, so images are clear, bright and easy to see day or night, indoors or outdoors. f=5.5-16.5mm (35mm Equiv. - 33-100mm) Focal Length 2.5 Diagonal Polycrystalline TFT LCD Display (230K dots) Focusing Area Normal - 50cm - infinity, Macro / Intelligent AUTO - Wide 5cm / Tele 30cm - infinity 8 - 1/2,000 sec.

Great Camera!
10/8/2008
I love this camera! I bought this camera just before a trip to Canada and was more than pleased with the way the pictures turned out. Its user-friendly and the battery lasts a long time. I didn't have a problem with the red bars that one reviewer complained about. The lines were so minimal I barely noticed them. The only reason I gave it four stars instead of five is because I noticed that the pictures came out a little blurry when using the full zoom and I would've liked the zoom to be better. Overall this is a great camera for the price and exceeded my expectations.

good point and shoot for shows
9/2/2008
I took this camera with me to Bumbershoot to take pictures of The Weakerthans (indoors) and Del Tha Funky Homosapien (outdoors) and it held up pretty well. I got pretty close to The Weakerthans and I was able to snap some good pictures using the "night" setting with the flash turned off. The typical concert lighting for an indoor show didn't ruin the pictures so the pictures came out pretty well. When I took the camera to Del, I was right up front and it was able to capture him in action. Some of the pictures were blurry because he was moving around so fast, but, I don't think a camera could do any better unless it was an expensive camera with a super fast shutter speed... and those types of cameras are usually banned from concert venues unless you have a special press pass. Another feature that could be considered a downside would be the big screen in the back. While it gives you a really nice idea of what you're about to take a picture of, I'm always afraid of scratching it when I put the camera in my pocket. It hasn't happened yet, but, I'm being careful.

In summary:

+ Good to take into shows because it's small enough to put in your pocket and is powerful enough to take nice pictures.
+ The battery life is very good compared to my digital camera that uses AA batteries. At the end of the day, I just plug the battery pack into the wall until the green light turns off.
+ It comes with a built in memory that has enough room for about 16 pictures.

- If you're looking for a camera with a really fast shutter speed, this isn't the camera for you. This is what I am talking about in terms of shutter speed for the novice picture taker: http://www.digicamguides.com/learn/shutter-speed-examples.html
If you're interested in taking pictures of moving objects without them being blurry, consider researching DSLR cameras. I just got this one because it is affordable.


To parents/grandparents/guardians/siblings out there: This would be a good holiday present for a teenagers who go to see live music. It fits well in a small purse or pocket so it's easy to hide if they're not allowed in a venue. It's light and compact, making it easy to tolerate carrying around during a 4 hour show, and if they turn off the flash option, then it's also not detectable. It's also much better than those cell phone cameras that I see kids using with disappointing results.

Red bars on movies
8/2/2008
This camera records long, red bars on your movies if you are shooting outside. It isn't just my model; every Panasonic Lumix FS3 comes with a yellow paper in its box explaining that this happens. The red bar doesn't show up in pictures (though you can see it on the LCD screen) but it shows up in every movie you record in the sun. As soon as I read the warning, I took my camera outside and shot a few seconds of video in the sun. Sure enough, there was an ugly red bar in the video.

My question is, why doesn't Amazon let their customers know about this problem? Panasonic tells you right off the bat when you open the box but it would have been nice to have been warned BEFORE I bought it. Now I have to send it back and wait for a refund.

Stay away from this camera, unless of course, you like red bars in your movies.

Wonderful little camera
7/16/2008
This is a great camera. It does everything I want it to do and does it well. I wish it came with a case as I had to buy one separately. Other than that you won't be disappointed with this camera. I've had it for a few weeks and I'm still learning the advanced features. At the price I got it for (around $157.00), you can't beat it.

Pretty good camera for point and shoot
5/23/2008
I have had this camera for about a week now, and I like it. It takes quality pictures pretty efficiently. There isn't that much of a delay when I took pictures like some other digital cameras. It is quite small and easy to take with me everywhere. It could be a little better about taking pictures of the rain. We had two really bad storms here in Wyoming, but the camera didn't capture it as well as I would have liked. The zoom is good, but not great. However, it did well when I took pictures of my puppies playing. All in all this camera works for me. I am not a big photographer, I just wanted something with quality pictures, easy to use, and easy to pack around.
