Outstanding Travel Camera

Pros: the leica lens is a major plus: very sharp images, battery life: lasted all day on game drives, with 16gb card: over 2000 high resolution images, video recording available and easy, sturdy door to battery and sd card slot
Cons: sound on videos is not great; no surprise
Model Number: Panasonic Lumix ZS19
"I recently spent 2 weeks on African safari; my wife used our new Zs19 and I used a much more expensive DSLR with a selection of interchangeable lenses. The Panasonic Lumix captured images as good as the big, heavy camera and was so easy to wear on belt in supplied case that we plan to only take the GREAT new little camera on an upcoming trip to Mexico!"

Astonishing capabilities

Pros: range of capabilities lens quality construction
Cons: software will not work with amd-equipped computers
Model Number: ZS19
"I've been a photographer since the 1970s. I have NEVER imagined a camera that can do what this one does and, after using it, I can't imagine what it CAN'T do. I've taken photos of moonlit clouds, close-ups one-half inch from the lens, the moon with detail so clear you can see inside some craters, hummingbirds, wildlife, flower close ups, you name it. All with just this one lens and a fantastic CPU and firmware. Absolutely awesome!"

Excellent Camera

Pros: very fast "pwr-on first" and repeat cycling times.
Cons: free case is lousy
Model Number: Panasonic Lumix ZS19 Digital Camera Bundle
"Overall a very nice Point & Shoot camera with very fast picture cycle times, excellent lens and features, all for a very competitive price!
The free case is a nice gesture but it's lousy. The "Case Logic TBC402" for $10 is a perfect fit and works great."

Lumix ZS19

Pros: easy to use. super zoom.
Cons: none
Model Number: ZS19
"Really easy to use; and, great pictures. Amazing zoom. As is typical, the detailed operators manual is online, or on disc. You need to use that to get the full benefit of this camera."

Panasonic LumixZS19

Pros: easy to use amazing zoom
Cons: extremely short battery life!
"Amazing camera with a phenomenal zoom. Loved my old Casio Exilim...but it had basically no zoom and that was what I was looking for. ZS19 zoom is far beyond expectations, brings everything up close & personal....the 20x zoom actually increases to 40x! Pics are crisp, color great, programs easy to use. My only gripe is the battery depletes after a day of usage! I only see one other reviewer complaining about the battery...so I am wondering if I have a faulty battery...and will have to check into this, maybe return & purchase a new one."

Very happy

Pros: great zoom great wide angle lens.
Cons: none so far
Model Number: Panasonic Lumix zx19
"I purchase this camera because of the good review it got from Consumer Reports and Cnet. I have not use the camera much since the purchase so I am in no position to write
a lot about the camera.
I tested the camera with a few photos and also tested the movie option. Both test pass
with 100% satisfaction.
I am 100% satisfy with the purchase and recommend the camera to others.

The Best ever Digital Camera on the market

Model Number: Pansonic Lumix ZS19 Digital Camera
"This is one of the most impressive Digital Cameras that I have ever used . I love it. The Leica lens is awesome... The pictures that I have gotten out of it is amazing. They are so professional . The camera will explain the usage of the different settings.. Example on the SCN Mode on the dial it has a little banner that tells how to use each icon amazing you have to try it to see what I am talking about. The price is outstanding the case and memory card 4 GB come with it at Costco.. Which is great... Great buy all the way around..."

Excellent camera!

Pros: crystal clear hd photos and video, extremely easy to use, large vibrant image display
Model Number: ZS19
"It's always a pleasure when a product you order lives up to, and even exceeds expectations, like the Panasonic Lumix ZS19. I wanted a top-of-the-line, easy to use point and shoot camera that I could always have with me and the ZS19 more than fills the bill. I highly recommend this camera."

video doesn't work with iphoto

"This camera takes fantastic pictures and video. No gripes here. However, the videos don't get picked up by Iphoto. You have to open them in imovie and then export the file. Frustrating...we would have kept the camera otherwise."

Panasonic Lumix Camera

Model Number: LUMIX ZS19
"I purchased this camera to replace a fairly new camera. What I read about this camera made my other one seem out of date. The Panasonic Lumix is a great camera and simple to use. I love the 20X zoom, it brings up close and sharp. My older camera was a 16 Megapixel, but this 14.1 is just as sharp if not sharper. With a faster shutter speed, you don't get any blurring."

Amazing Camera

Pros: 20x zoom, panorama function, image stabilization, leica lens, 1080p video, 4 gb card included, long battery life
Model Number: ZS19KCP
"Initially attracted to this camera for the Leica lens, but overall performance has been nothing short of amazing! The 1080p video is crystal clear at all zoom levels. The image stabilization, exposure levels and focusing are spot on. The panoramic function is the easiest I have ever used. The camera has perfect size, is easy to grip by large hands, while still being pocket-sized. I cannot imagine a camera being more perfect than this, especially at this price point."

Great Point & Shoot Camera for the Traveler

Pros: size, image quality, zoom lens, panoramic mode, speed - particularly auto focus
Cons: charging through usb cable, low light performance adequate
Model Number: ZS19
"I purchased the ZS19 as a replacement for my 5 year old Panasonic TZ3. The TZ3 still works great, I just wanted the latest technology. The ZS19 has all of the latest features, great picture quality and attractive price.
The ZS19 is the latest in Panasonic's Travel Zoom cameras and this does not dissapoint with a 20x zoom lens. The pictures are sharp regardless of the zoom setting. The features are great on the camera - I particularly like: 1) the panorama setting, where you can sweep across a landscape and the camera stitched together a panorama picture; 2) The HDR mode, where it takes the same picture with different exposure settings and then recomposites the pictures to make a better picture. The video records in 1080p HD in both MP4 (easier for editing on a computer) and AVCHD mode. The controls are easy to operate and most controls are redundant, with buttons and the touch screen. Low light performance is good, but not great (the flash works great, though). Auto-focus is very fast and shutter lag is minimal. The main concerns I have with the camera are that 1) you have to charge the camera with a USB cord, and it can take up to 8 hours; 2) I'm not crazy about the toggle switch between playback and image capture - it moves quite easily. I highly recommend this camera for someone who travels and wants a powerful zoom with a compact body."

Love The Updates - Highly Recommend

Pros: great photos & easy to recharge & easy to use
Model Number: Panasonic Lumix ZS 19
"Love this camera and takes the best photos for the money in a point and shoot camera.
I bought it to replace a similar model I accidentally dropped in water :( I was concerned that I might not like the new updated features, given my other one was a couple years old. I love it! Especially love that you can plug battery directly in from the camera in this newer version. The photos I take are just as great as the previous one and my go-to camera when i don't want to take along my SLR."

INCREDIBLE UNBELIEVABLE CAMERA

Pros: easy to use feature rich, excellent photos & videos
Cons: no viewfinder, get extra batteries
Model Number: LUMIX ZS19
"This camera (recommended by store employee) replaced my Cannon Elph 600. I wanted better pictures & videos. WHAT A SURPRISE. This camera exceeded my expectations by about 2000%. The AI mode covers almost every situation even when recording videos and the results are truly amazing. Not even my 35mm camera did better (and I always had to remember f-stops, etc which was always confusing.)
Suitable for the professional with all the manual controls. It says 20x zoom, but you can take up to 40x (it picked up a license number half a block away) but for the xtra zoom use a tripod. Color rendition is perfect. I've really put it to the test trying almost all the features. Mode selector is easy to read and adjust. And as you scroll through settings, a help bar describes each function. I got hummingbirds in flight a dusk; and at their feeder from 40' away with perfect clarity. This is definitely the BEST camera I ever had and I still have more to learn about it/ It;s amazing so much is contained in a point & shoot camera. I'm glad I got the ZS19.
I do miss a viewfinder (you have to learn to point the lens at the subject for zoom).. Battery life much shorter than old camera; I bought three batteries and Xtreme SDCH 16GB SanDisk card. With all the features and flexibility I don't mind having to change/charge batteries more often; the trade-off is certainly worth it.
