Summary: Great camera for the bargain
Review: Frist a response to Mr. Wagner's (above) review : I don't understand why u never got the idea of transferring images by a cf card reader. After ur done taking the pics just upload em via the cf card reader, which can hook up thru any usb port or parallel port. and it's very very fast. the only drawback of this camera is the serial port, but no one really seriouly uses it !! it's takes 2 sec to upload an 8mb card. and if ur worried about making movies, use paint shop pro's animation shop (it's free) to make the movies once u upload the images to ur pc. u really don't need to use the software given by panasonic, and those ppl must be stupid not to suggest this to u, it'd take care of any upgrade problems. this can work on winNT/2K/98/95/3.11/ME and even MAC O/S, UNIX, LINUX etc. :)REVIEW: this camera has a very good resolution of 1280X960, which is exceptionally large for any general purpose, unless u want to make a poster. it can take movie clips, has upto 6X zoom, and is very sturdy too. i'd rate this 5. u can get better cameras out there, like the sony 1.3mega pixel, but it costs twice this. so it's great for the bargain. :)

Review: The Product deserves 4 stars as long as you don't upgrade to Windows 2000. I bought this camera for my wife one year ago and at the time it was a pleasant surprise to see how well it worked. About six months after we bought it our computer crashed and we lost everything - not too bad because it gave us the incentive to upgrade to Windows ME... that was a mistake because this great product is not compatible with anything past Windows 95/98. $400 dollars later we have a great camera which we can't use. We called Panasonic to inquire about an upgrade on the camera driver so that we could continue to enjoy the camera and they said "that product is old and we are not working on upgrading the driver because we are working on a newer version of the camera." Well, needles to say, we are very upset at their reaction. The camera was sold to us in December 1999 and by December 2000 it became a useless object. If you are planning to upgrade your computer - DO NOT PURCHASE THIS ITEM!!

Summary: Great Product!
Review: Think this camera is great. Resolution is excellent for the pixel. Image editing software is a bit laborious (I use my own after transferring photos to my PC)...but everything else is great. You can take 4 second "motion clips" which is great for capturing say a "touchdown" "pass" or "kick off" on film.
