I have used the camera for about a month now and tried a variety of light conditions for stills as well as the video. I am very pleased. The one caution is that you have to be careful to not get your finger in the way of the lens – this camera is very thin and it is easy to do.

I bought this camera to replace a very old Kodak. I picked the Lumix FP8 because of it’s speed. I wanted a camera that would take consecutive pictures without much hesitation. I used it last weekend at a wedding for the first time; and the pictures turned out pretty good. I have a love/hate relationship with the size; it’s great because it fits easily in about any pocket, but it is so small I feel a bit clumsy operating the controls. I have to concentrate on holding such a small camera still so I don’t get camera shake. It would be nice to have a viewfinder in addition to the screen for better stabilization. Overall, I like the camera and would recommend it.

I received my camera yesterday and am extremely impressed with it. The body is beautiful and sleek. It feels solid with the metal frame and no cheap plastic parts. The menu is intuitive and the images outstanding.
I tested the movie with HD video and am very impressed by the quality of the picture. Night shots haven been excellent as well.
PROS:
* Image quality
* Night shots
* HD Video
* ZOOM while recording movies (not many other cameras can do this)
* Great looks
* Sturdy camera
CONS:
* No lens cover
* No button for recording video (have to use the menu instead)
