Review on πŸ“· Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS25: 16.1 MP Compact Digital Camera with 20x Intelligent Zoom (Silver) - Unveiling the Classic Model by Dale Hing

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Nice update for the Panasonic Lumix range

I bought this camera when it was in the Revain Gold Box for less than $110. I owed a debt of gratitude to previous Panasonic Lumix point-and-shoot cameras and thought they were great little outdoor cameras, capturing great color in sunlight but underwhelming indoors - even with flash. The DMC-ZS25 is a long-awaited update that finally delivers great indoor color. However, there are some minor downsides. First, if you're chasing a two-year-old trying to capture those moments in life with a flash, there's a slight half-second delay between pressing the button and taking the picture. Second, the power button is on the top of the camera, near where I hold the camera with my right index finger. Several times I accidentally turned off the power while taking pictures. Third, if you want to view previous images for more than a minute, the lens retracts, requiring you to hit the record button to be ready again. Not a scene, but annoying. Otherwise it's a great deal for the money I paid. I'm not sure I would pay the current price when there are so many good P&S cameras for under $200.

Pros
  • Easy installation
Cons
  • Bad experience
