Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I upgraded from the Z3 and this is my 3rd Lumix camera. I am a insurance adjuster and take over 300 pictures per day and these cameras get alot of heavy work and is constantly used in conditions that is not the average user. What I wanted most from a work camera, was the ability to zoom in and the wide angle. I take alot of photos on roofs where damages have occured and the ability of this camera to do those things, is unsurpassed. The old one had a 12x zoom which I thought was great, until I used this 16x zoom. Quite amazing to say the least. With your typical camera of this size, you might get a 5 zoom and you will just not believe the difference with this 16 zoom. Next would be the 24 wide angle aspect. Again, quite amazing. I can stand 25 feet in front of a house and get the whole house in the photo. With typical cameras, you would have to stand across the street. Next would be the picture quaility. Absolutely great as well. Clear, crisp,perfect lighting and on and on. Easy to use and set the settings as well. Although a little more pricey than most, it is soooo worth it!!! Take a chance on this one, if you are unsure. You will NOT be dissapointed!! Love it! Love it!
