I bought this a few months ago. I tried it out 2X and then realized that I needed a camera with a larger zoom. The camera is in perfect new condition. This Panasonic is Highly recommended by camera review web sights and Kerrisdale Camera, where I purchased it. It's perfect for landscapes, videos and travel. Bought on sale for $499 , strap $40, memory card $45 + taxes = $665. I will sell this virtually new camera for $499/ now $445.
