Review: These cameras are great! - I purchased this as a Christmas present for my son and so far it is performing perfectly. These types of Lumix cameras are wonderful, we have had these type for years and they just keep working. We started with a 7MP version (can't remember the model number) with a 10x zoom and it just worked (no HD recording back then), it was easy to use and started up quickly. The thing that drew me to this camera range was the lens, these cameras use Leica lenses, for the uninitiated Leica is a German manufacturer of high quality cameras and lenses, remember that the image has to get to the sensor via the lens, if the lens is no good the sensor gets crap and the image suffers. I got a DMC-ZS20 last year and it was equally easy to use, mode mega pixels and HD recording, this time with 20x zoom like this model. The build quality is awesome, these cameras look like they can handle the day-to-day knocks that they will experience. The question I get a lot is why bother with a dedicated camera when you have a smartphone with lots of megapixels. I suppose it depends on what you want to use them for, for day-to-day pictures when you don't have your camera around the smartphone works, however for more serious subjects (like weddings, birthday parties etc) then a dedicated camera (in my opinion) gives much better results. Some of the features that are cool with this camera, the 20x zoom mentioned above, different picture taking modes including full manual, battery life, the size (they pack a lot of technology in to a small space), one touch HD video recording. Overall a good camera that performs well and produces good pictures in many situations.
Review: Great upgrade for a Lumix camera fan - I am a previous owner of the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FS5 (and before that the -FX07). I used these compact point-and-shoot cameras with great glee for the last 5-6 years until the -FS5 put a gray spot in every blue sky two week before I was to leave for vacation in Iceland. I looked extensively at the other Lumix cameras (I wanted the Leica lens & the features I was used to from the -FS5) and decided to upgrade to the -ZS25 for: - Wide angle lens: This is awesome for group photos and scenery (and hand-held self-photos). I had this on my older cameras and it is great in this camera too. - Macro mode: I love taking up-close flower pictures. Unfortunately, this doesn't work as well as on the -FS5 and -FX07 cameras. On the old cameras, I could always force the camera to focus on the flower I wanted; this doesn't always work now with the flower mode in the intelligent auto. However, when it did focus, the pictures were equally marvelous (or better) than before. - Panoramic mode: This definitely took the most practice so it doesn't look choppy or have lines; however, once I got the hang of it, this is an amazing function. [see sample in customer photos] - Hand-held night shot: This function is amazing. I used it in the Vasa museum in Stockholm (17th c. sailing ship in dim light) and the pictures look in even better light than what it looked like in real life. [see sample in customer photos] - HDR: This function solves classic problem of trying to get the scenery and sky to look awesome in same photo. The camera decides when to use this in the intelligent auto mode (so you can't force the camera to do it) but it figured it out most of the time and took amazing shots. [see sample in customer photos] - 20X optical zoom: I didn't even have the digital zoom turned on and was able to take really great zoomed in pictures without a tripod. The stabilization works really well. The other note is that I rarely used the intelligent auto mode on my old Lumix cameras because I preferred to choose the mode. The technology has improved so much in the last 5 years that now the intelligent auto is so much smarter, it did a better job of choosing the mode than I did so I used it most of the time (unless taking a panorama). I really debated whether to spend the extra $100 (over the cheapest point and shoot Lumix models) and was very glad I did on vacation. I also got an extra battery (Panasonic DMW-BCG10PP ID Secured Battery) and external battery charger (Panasonic DE-A65BB Battery Charger for DMW-BCG-10) from B&H Photo which allowed me to take more than 250 photos per day and to charge both batteries at night. This camera does not come with an external charger. Instead you have to use the (very short) cable to plug the camera in, which is annoying if there is no table at the level of the plug in.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does this camera have HDR?**
A: Yes, this camera does have a HDR feature built in.  Full setup instructions can be found in the below link.  http://service.us.panasonic.com/OPERMANPDF/DMCZS25_adv.PDF#page=28

**Q: does it have the sports setting for moving "still" pictures?**
A: Yes, the "Sports" mode setting is available under the cameras scene mode.  We recommend you use the below link to review the option.  http://service.us.panasonic.com/OPERMANPDF/DMCZS25_ADV.PDF#page=80

**Q: Where it is made?**
A: In Japan.  It is excellent for the price.

**Q: what is the best setting to take pictures with in the dark if flash is not allowed?**
A: For me, dark areas generally require stationary objects. I often use the self timer to make sure the camera is still. Or, you can play around with the lens aperture/shutter speed settings since you can instantly see your results after taking the picture. With some dark pictures, you can simply lighten them manually through MS picture viewer, Prinshop, or other photo "touch-up" software.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent Features and Good Picture Quality
*by C***Y on September 24, 2013*

I was deciding between the ZS25 and the Canon SX280HS. I felt that the Canon had better picture quality but the battery life issue during video was a deal breaker. I decided to go with the ZS25 and I am impressed with it so far. Pros - Compact size. Perfect for traveling especially with the ability to charge the battery in the camera. - Leica lens - Very good picture quality with natural looking colors - 20x optical zoom is impressive. Ability to zoom to 40x with intelligent resolution and maintain very good picture quality. See the pictures I posted. - Intelligent Auto does a great job picking the best settings for the situation. - Pictures taken with HDR have significantly better exposure - Very good pictures in low light situations - Panorama feature - Very good HD video capability - Many creative picture features - Decent battery life (200+ shots with good mix of pictures, video, and flash). You should get a spare battery if you plan to be shooting for a full day. - Made in Japan Cons - Pictures can appear soft. Intelligent Resolution makes the pictures noticeably sharper. - Pictures viewed at 100% can appear noisy. This should not be an issue if printing to typical smaller photo sizes. - Panorama feature is nice but picture quality is not as good as regular pictures - Videos with zoom fully extended and be a little shaky I gave the ZS25 four stars because the picture quality does not seem to be as good as my old Panasonic DMC-LZ2. The DMC-LZ2 takes excellent pictures for a 5MP point and shoot. Overall, the ZS25 is a very good camera with many useful features. The Intelligent Auto feature makes it easy for anyone to take very good pictures with no effort, which is what many people look for in a point and shoot camera.
