The Pansonic Lumix DMC-LZ5 is one of the best "Point-and-Shoot" Cameras out there. I bought the hole kit at future shop wich includes: Case, Camera, Rechargable Batteries, Battery Recharger, etc.

I'm really happy I bought It

Pros: Good Zoom. Uses AA batteries.
Cons: Unreliable. Panasonic service is too expensive.

I bought this camera about a 18 month ago. The pictures were good although not the best I have seen. Then it died unexpectedly. The batteries were running low and when we tried to squeeze one last shot out of the camera is froze up. I put in new batteries but it is still locked up. When I called tech support, they said to reset the camera or send it in for service at a minimum charge of $261. I didn't pay this much for the camera and my reset did not fix the problem
