Panasonic DMC-ZS35W Digital Camera with 3.0-Inch TFT LCD (White)

Surprisingly Good Photos from a Tiny, Lightweight Camera! A medical condition which makes every ounce I carry with me a burden on trips forced me seek alternatives to the full-size Nikon F and Canon Eos SLRs which I'd loved for years. This camera produces surprisingly good stills and videos; the zoom gives you a wide range; it's easy to control exposures and shutter speeds; the auto focus gives you flexibility; it's sensitive enough to get good photos in dim ambient light conditions; and it's easy to carry on your wrist. I only have three minor problems with it: (1) stability becomes an issue when shooting a video; (2) it's sometimes hard to decide where/how to hold it; and (3) if you carry it around on your wrist it's hard to protect the camera from knocking into things and hard to decide what to do with the soft shell case provided in the meantime. But, since the camera's lack of size & heft are the fundamental reasons I bought it in the first place, I can hardly complain.

I bought this specifically for a series of concerts. At the first one, when I took the camera out of my purse, it had moved from the AUTO to the P (PROGRAM) setting and I didn't notice. Most of those pictures were awful but the few that did come out by accident were quite good. At the next show, the low light scenes came out extremely dark so I switched to another camera. I thought there must have been something wrong with this specific camera so I returned it. But I loved the size and feel of the camera. I did take a picture of my puppy on the house with it and that was quite nice, I found it slow when turning it on and off but again, that could have been just this particular camera. I'm thinking that I may buy it again.

Great zoom range and some neat features but this is pushing the limits of size for a compact camera. I think mine was some kind of refurb even though it was sold as new. It came in a Panasonic box but the camera and all accessories were loose inside. Not typical for a new product.

This is not a good point and shoot. I bought it as my mum had an earlier model and it took excellent quality pictures so I ignored some of the online reviews and gave it the benefit of the doubt but it is not a good camera. Most pictures we took over our daughter's first Christmas were blurred and the colour quality was very poor... not true to the real colour or far too bright. I wasn't expecting it to be outstanding quality but I expected good, useable photos and it doesn't give this. I read and reread the instructions to check the settings etc and there didn't seem to be a way to adjust it. Not a good purchase.

People who want an extremely high quality and versatile camera that is small enough to fit in ones pocketor purse will find this a great travel companion. Can be used fully automatically, or lots of manual settings,including many scene settings. Has Wi fi. Also a very effective stabilized zoom with lots of range. Tofind out more about this exceptional Panasonic camera, go to Google and type in Panasonic ZS35K.Personally, I think that this is one of the best pocket sized cameras out there. Contact me for any questions.Incidentally, in the automatic mode, it senses if you are taking photos of people, landscapes, night scenes,etc. etc.

I purchased this camera in the hopes of using it as a decent travel camera on a recent trip to the Philippines. Based on it's specs and mostly the ability to wireless transfer photos to my mobile devices, I took a chance on it. I was fully aware of the limitations of point and shoot cameras, having owned several in comparison to the DSLR's I also owned, but I wasn't looking to get really amazing shots on this trip, but certainly really good ones weren't out of the question. However, in using the camera in a variety of situations (indoor, outdoor, low light, bright day), I would say that the results fell incredibly flat. Beyond the Programmed Auto mode (which was average at best), all of the other modes were consistently poor and inconsistent. In the lead for this poor performance was the HDR mode, which rendered somewhat average to poor landscape pictures, and absolutely terrible portrait pictures (all portrait pictures would have this "fake" skin tone). But by far the biggest issue I had with this camera was the incredibly slow performance of all menu and shooting functions. From start-up to first shot, it was always a minimum of 5 seconds. This is an infinite amount of time when your perfect moment could be gone that quickly. The same lag extended to switching camera modes as well. This became maddeningly frustrating many times during my trip, as I would have to wait for the camera to play catch-up, and often would miss the shot I had intended. I hope they can fix this with a firmware update in the future, but considering many of the "reviews" I've read on this, it's not looking like there is enough negative feedback to make this happen any time soon.After years of using Canon products, my first foray into another manufacturer's camera was sorely disappointing, and probably one mistake I will be careful to avoid in the future.

When the product arrived, it worked perfectly right out of the box and it seems to have no flaw. Only downside with the purchase was that it didn't come with an SD card (I'm not sure if it was suppose to) but that was the only problem I had with this purchase. I can't argue though because I saved a lot of money already with this purchase.5 stars.- Ken (Skyler Ryes)
