DMC-ZS10 Lens Extension The only pictures of the DSC-ZS10 I have seen show the lens extended a bit (maybe to its full extent - I don't know). I just want to know if anyone has seen any pictures of it with the lens fully retracted into the body. I guess my real question is, does the lens, in fact, fully retract into the body? That would make a difference to me, since I want an easily pocketable camera.

oh really? it sounded pretty overall positive to me.. what part of the review moved it down a notch for you?

Excellent! Thank you. Although, after reading the review, this camera has moved down a notch in my rankings...

Here is one more review on the Panasonic from cnet:http://reviews.cnet.com/digital-cameras/panasonic-lumix-dmc-zs10/4505-6501_7-34505713.html?tag=mncol;lstcameralabs.com has posted some test photos as well.. not their full review yet though.

Hi David. Can you explain why so many reviewers have said there are bad problems with visual "noise" at so many settings, and even worse in low light? I really want to buy this camera for every other reason, but worried about image quality. Your experience seems quite difference. I also read a pro review that said all the images were soft/not finely detailed because of the Venus processor's over-suppression of the images. What do you think?

The cnet video review was especially great - it shows a lot its features really well. I hope some more in-depth reviews come out soon. And I still haven't seen any reviews on the other cameras I'm considering, so I guess I have a long way to go. Of course, none of them are available to purchase yet. The frustrating part is every day I come across situations where I could use a camera like that! Oh well....

Based on the published dimensions, I do not believe this case will fit a DMC-LZ10. The biggest camera that it will fit is a Canon Elph 330 HS, which measures 3.83 x 2.20 x 0.89 inches (97.2 x 54.4 x 22.5 MM). The LZ10 measures 3.84 x 2.44 x 1.31 inches (98 x 62 x 33 MM) and is too big. My 330 HS barely squeezes into it, so there is no extra margin for anything bigger.

I have the original DSC-H20, and we gave the DSC-H20/B to my father-in-law for Christmas. His looks and is almost exactly the same as mine, but it has a few more options in the manual and program modes. Specifically I recall that he had more shutter speeds and focus distances to choose from. Edit: Sorry, I was mislead! My camera was missing some ISO speeds, etc. in the menus for some reason (stopped at 800 instead of 3200). But they just appeared. Must have been a firmware glitch!? :(

Jeffroar, have you had any luck in determining a solution? I just got my FZ100 last week and have been struggling with the same issue. Without the flash I'm amazed at how well it captures true color/light, but when I open the flash to "brighten up" my shot the resulting image is much darker. Any thought (Les or others) on if an external flash would help here by extending the range?Thanks - Rich

If you have a high zoom camera like the 10X S10, why not just zoom in to "crop" the photo in the first place? Or, crop off-line using your image management software? That is what I usually do because I like to save the original non-cropped image anyway. I think it is a matter of personal preference. I am considering getting an S-10, so I don't know if it handles LCD in-camera cropping per se.

I wanted to buy those lenses for m iphone 5c but I am worried about that shadow they say is produces when you take the photograph. Can someone show me an example of how it looks like?

Hi Anne, Yes it does allow for the lens to extend out (zoom) fullly and this works VERY well. Make sure you have the silicone to wipe on the rubber seal (gasket) to ensure that you always have a water/air tight seal. Amazon sells the silicone as well as the cleaning/maintenance pack that is inexpensive and WELL worth the purchase. Hope this helps and enjoy your waterproof case Anne! Tod

I'm not sure "exactly" what you mean ... but when the camera is on ... the lens extends out from the camera body. When you shut it down ... the lens is retracted back into the body and there is there is a mechanism that automatically covers and protects the lens. It's flat and compact. Very nice design. I hope that helps you out.

Got my DMC-TZ4 3 weeks ago, lens cover stoped working this weekend. It wasn't opening at all or opening half way. I decided to remove it, that was pretty easy, just grab one piece at a time(there is 4 of them) and pull it out.It was working fine, until I decided to take a picture from my car's window. Maybe it couldn't take the wind force...Anyway, now the lens doesn't go back inside when I turn it off. When I turn it on, it shows me the message "Turn off you camera and start it again". I hope I would be able to fix that one, as I understand Panasonic won't bother doing it.

I had a similar problem, but in my case, the lens would not open and extend. I looked at various websites about how to fix this type of problem (but on other cameras), but never got it to work. Unfortunately, it was just weeks after the warranty period, and because I really like the camera, I ended up buying another one, which -- so far -- has not misbehaved.

I am looking for a small camera case, small that will fit the ZS40. Most are just too big. Surprised that no one seems to have a small nice leather case for the ZS40!

Hello Debbie, thanks for the message. I actually have a Kodak EasyShare Z612 (not as good as the Z1015IS). I have owned my Kodak for several years and have been happy with it from a performance perspective. If I was in the market for a new camera, I would definitely consider the Z1015IS. Just to let you know, if you are looking for a camera that you can easily put in a pocket or purse, this isn't the camera for you. It is a full size camera. Personally, I feel that one can take better pictures with a larger format camera. It is also nice because it has the LCD screen and a view finder. I use the viewfinder on my Kodak all of the time but there are times when the LCD is helpful. The zoom lens is awesome. I'm sure you can get a real bargain on one since Kodak has exited the digital photography arena. I wouldn't be concerned about that (Kodak's exit). Our Kodak has been very reliable over the years that I have owned it. Best of luck to you. Overall, I would recommend this camera to you if you are looking for a full-size camera, with advanced features, that takes great pictures.

I have a Canon...but I was able to completely extend the lens. I was also pleasantly surprised at how well the pictures had come out.

Did not find any posts on the web that said it worked with any Olympus bodies. Found this on DPreview "Available with some Panasonic cameras only.- Compatible Olympus cameras not yet determined, as of September 2010." And I wouldn't hold out hope for an update for your camera since I believe this lens is discontinued. It was a neat buy for the 60 bucks I paid for it, but it is limited in use. Since the 3D is only pronounced with certain type of shots, no video (although I have heard about a workaround for video), and you need a 3D tv to view photos (although I did use some software to make red/blue anyglyph).

I bought and returned lens years ago and moved on to a Nkion system. I had problems with the lens back-focusing on the K10 which had no way of adjusting the focus in camera, so be aware of this issue depending on which body you have. As I recall, the lens was new in Pentax box with warranty. I would check the return policy just in case.
