"great in ideal lighting - horrible otherwise"
Pros: 10x zoom, clear LCD, good quality video
Cons: autofocus DOES NOT WORK unless lighting is good
Summary: I bought this camera in June, 2004. Getting to the point: if the lighting is good, this is a great camera. If the lighting is anything other than good, the autofocus system simply does not work. Example: basketball games inside various gymnasiums. The autofocus system constantly loses focus because there isn't quite enough light (for this camera - others have NO problem in these conditions). At this point, I'm going to hand this camera off to the kids, and get a decent Canon or Sony. I can't afford to waste precious time (or memories) on a camera with which Panasonic didn't even get the basics right.
