What's Hot

Sharp pictures, Lots of features

What's Not

Poor colour representation, Fickle lighting response

The Final Word

A bit of a let down compared to Panasonic's earlier models. If they could fix the camera's colour response they'd have a winner on their hands, but as it stands this mode isn't quite up to the high Panasonic standard.
