AF performance beats a compact and rivals an entry level DSLR, even when working in dimmer conditions. Shutter lag subjectively seems a bit slow, but our stopwatch objectively says otherwise. High ISO noise performance leaves compacts in the dust and gets in the ballpark with the current generation DSLRs. Video performance is among the best I’ve seen in a still camera.”
Those are the pros and cns of the camera according to the reviewer:
Pros
Small size and weight
Very good still images
Excellent video
Cons
Low battery life
Slow flash recycle
Entry-level DSLR price
Yes, looks like Panasonic has a real winner here!
