5 Stars King of point and shoot Wow ! This is the statement that I can say once I start using this camera.
Wide angle, IA mode (fully automatic). I took this camera to Pasadena,CA down town to test night scene right after I got this camera. I use the IA mode and just keep point and shoot while I was walking down the street. A friend of mine has a Canon Powershot SD1100IS, I can see he kept getting black out on his LCD due to the darkness at night, but mine, every picture came out nicely. I am not an expert on camera, what I need is a camera that I can point and shoot anytime I want to and come out decent result. This camera does the job, and because its wide angle, the results are breath-takingly good.

This camera is so compact (tiny), if you want a 25mm wide angle camera in such a small footprint, this is the only one you can get in the market right now. You can also try its manual setting to have much better results, but for me, IA (fully automatic) mode is good enough for me already. I think I will start carrying this camera with me all the time, and you know what? Photography is now becoming interesting to me because this camera opens a new field that I had never been in before ...

5 Stars Great, but..... A fantastic little camera. But, you never know what you are getting until you buy it and try it. My only disappointments are:

Pictures: no Panorama mode.

Movie: I returned the Flip Mino HD for this camera. Although the flip took fantastic HD quality videos, they were always shaky because it had no optical image stabilization. The Lumix takes HD movies and has optical image stabilization but...with the flip, you could connect the camera to the TV with a standard (supplied) 3 RCA jack cable (1 video, 2 audio-stereo) and watch your movies in HD. With the Panasonic, the (supplied) 2 RCA jack cable (1 video, 1 audio-no stereo) does not produce HD movies on the TV, you have to buy the optional 5 RCA jack component cable for $40.

5 Stars Amazing and Tiny camera, HD video are you KIDDING?! So I've always been a huge film snob, and for a while had a Nikon D40 as my digital camera until I decided it was too big to want to deal with. For a while I was using disposable 35mm cameras, but as I've been doing a lot of traveling lately, I thought I'd get a little digital camera. I did a ton of research, and was interested in the similar Canon and Sony offerings, but I couldn't be happier with the Fx37. I love the wide angle which is great for taking self portraits and such things when traveling alone, but also works great for interior shots.

Not only does it take incredible pictures with the leica optics, I actually become must more into shooting video on it as it shoots native 720p video. Its amazing! For some example of video I've done please click below, the quality is amazing and thats considering its compressed on Vimeo.

Anyway, its very small, extremely fast, good in all conditions and the video is shoots is amazing! Why this isn't the best selling camera on the market is beyond me. But now you know, so go for it!

4 Stars Good Buy, Good product The pictures crisp, and videos clear, almost perfect in every sense. The Intelligent Auto (iA) is the best feature. Works well. What does not make it perfect 10 is - the tones, pictures in low light conditions tend to have more magenta and lacks depth. It needs longer exposure time for pictures taken in zoom (optical) in perfect light conditions. Overall, a good product, I always buy Panasonic in Cameras, and recommend this as a good buy.

1 Star Worst camera I thought that perhaps I just hadn't figured out how to use it yet, but after reading the manual, I realize that this camera just plain stinks. The image quality is terrible, even in bright daylight with low ISO, the images are grainy and dull. Forget about trying to take a photo in low light or shooting something that is not completely still. I am so unhappy with this camera, and it's too late to return it. I wish I'd bought the trusty Cannon Elph.
