"An excellent camera that's miles ahead of the competition"
What I like:
Sharp pictures, 2.5-inch LCD screen, image stabilisation, and strong flash
What I don't like:
People who run it down, especially who never owned one!
Review:
This is a very special camera, so light, yet very well made, has a nice feel in your hands....
The colours are spot on, I never have to adjust too much, very pleasing results!
Another nice element is the image stabilisation, which works very well indeed, much better than other different cameras' stabilsation, as Panasonic have been in this field for a long time. They have received praise all over the world for their mega O.I.S which is ahead of its time. It means taking pictures without blur 99% of the time, especially at slower shutter speeds. Finally I will close by saying the battery is perfect, it holds a lot of power, enough to last a whole week without needing to recharge, which takes only just over 2 hours! No more need for AA batteries .
9/10 for build and camera layout and 10/10 for image quality as it seems to get everthing spot on (for the asking price of £260 which I paid, an excellent investment).
Thanks for reading!

Stylish, practical and pleasing to use. Its pictures aren't bad either, so it's a good buy at this price
Samsung ST1000
Good camera made great by its excellent touchscreen interface and wireless technology
Sony Cyber-shot DSC-TX1
As a showcase for Sony technology, it's brilliant, but it's far from perfect in everyday use
