The only problem with this camera is that even with the flash on at a distance of 5 feet the pictures come dark i.e. the flash does not seem to work.I think the flash and the shutter release is not synchronized.I had emailed the same to the company quite a few times, but the company chose to ignore my emails.
In short, don’t expect any after sales service.I had paid Rs.9800 for the camera and am disappointed because you can’t expect me to take photos only in the day time. I had purchased the camera in Oct 08 but the problem is there from day one.I feel even MNCs act like an Indian proprietor company.You should be aware before you buy any Panasonic product.I had gone to buy a Sony Cybershot but I fell for the Leica lens fitted in the Panasonic Lumix.
