Panasonic Lumix DMC FZ50S?

Question

i was just wondering if it is worth my money to buy this, ive been reasearching it and it sounds really good!

but i need to know if it is an efficient camera to take pictures of myself for instance

like can it be used on stuff other than "outdoorsy" stuff

like pets, people

stuff like that!

because ill probably be using on mostly people and pets

photography too

but i figured that the photography portion of it is good!

Answer 1

That's a very nice camera.  It has a 12X optical zoom at full resolution and 21.4X optical zoom at 3 megapixels.  It has a decent sized sensor.  It will shoot movies with audio at 848 x 480, which is above average.  It will take pictures up to 60 seconds long.  It uses a lithium ion battery.  I haven't actually used it, but from the specifications it looks very good.
