i got this camera about two weeks ago and i was playing with it every day trying to convins my self that i am wrong if i would return it.i was so excited when i received it.but i was very disapointed after the first shot.but here they are…do not know where to start first.i own a canon sd 550 is a nice piece of work for more than four years.Very NICE LOOKING CAMERA beautiful still pictures and outstanding video.I use my camera more for shuting small videos if i am on a trip,or party etc.The only complaint i have is that in night time if i try to take a picture of a building everything is very dark…#2 very often red eye when using the flash…#3 sometimes bluered picture…other than that my camera is very good.So i am looking for a new camera to replace my old one.I decided to try the GF1 after reading the above reviews.FIRST THE PICTURE QUALITY IS POOR COMPARING WITH MY CANON.(I AM USING THE AUTO SETTING TO COMPARE THE TWO CAMERAS)PICTURES LOOK UNDER EXPOSED THEY ARE DARKER THAN CANON, NO SHARPNESS THEY DO NOT LOOK NATURAL.I CAN SAY IF YOU REED THE REVIEWS FOR PANASONIC ZS3 IS THE SAME COMPLAINT ABOUT THE PICTURE.SECOND THERE ARE NOT ANY ADJUSTMENTS FOR THE LCD SCREEN SO THERE IS NOT CONTROL OVER YOUR SCREEN.IN BRITE SUN IS HARD TO SEE WHAT YOU SHOOTING.MORE,CAMERA IS HEVY, MANUAL ZOOMING IS RETARDED.IN NIGHT TIME IF YOU TAKE PICTURES INSIDE A BIG ROOM IF YOU USE THE FLASH PICTURES ARE DARKER WITH A TINT OF ORANGE PURPULISH.TURN OFF THE FLASH AND THEY COME OUT GOOD BUT AGAIN UNDER EXPOSED.ALSO PROBLEMS WITH BLUERED PICTURES.I WANT TO TELL YOU THAT I AM NOT A PERSON THAT LIKES TO TRASH PRODUCTS ON THE MARKET I NEVER WROTE A REVIEW IN MY LIFE BUT,I DO NOT WANT OTHER PEOPLE TO MAKE AN EXPENSIVE MISTAKE.I AM NOT A PROFESSIONAL PHOTOGRAPHER I AM JUST A REGULAR GUY LOOKING FOR NORMAL PICTURES AND MOVIE.NOW THE VIDEO HAS ITS PROBLEMS TO…HD GOOD FOR YOU TUBE…AGAIN NO SHARPNESS AND DARK…USLESS.SO I AM GIVING IT ONE STAR AFTER PLAING WITH IT OR BETTER SAYING AFTER CAREFOOL TESTING IT JUST BECAUSE LOOKS LIKE GOOD QUALITY AND GOOD LOOKING.BUT I AM TRYING TO BUY A CAMERA NOT A GOOD LOOKING TOY.MY OLD CANON GOT LUKY AGAIN.

I purchased this product
I was totally disappointed.
I have a Canon G10 and wanted to upgrade the video to HD and get more zoom power
I took it out of the box and noticed that the body was extremely light made totally of plastic it seemed.
The 14-45 zoom lens was heavy throwing the balance way off when connected to the camera.
I am used to the G10 which is not heavy but has a solid metal body.
Then the test was the video.
I shot a couple of movies looked at them and they were okay.
The test was panning.
It was choppy much more so than the G10
And I shot photos and some the formats were not able to be recognized by Iphoto.
The result within an hour it was at UPS being returned.
Not worth the $865 not even worth $300
But Amazon was great they get top reviews.
It only cost me about $4.00 to return it with free shipping coming my way.

It is just great!
Everybody wants to take a picture with it.
Just perfect for a beginner or anyone.
Though a little expensive yet.

Very good picture quality even at low light. I like the Pancake Lens, makes it very portable. I’ll probably end up buying the viewfinder for video shooting.
