refurbished DMC-ZS25 Panasonic camera

This was purchased because of the unusually favorable price. I have bought refurbished camera products several times in the past and have always been very happy with them. This camera is no exception. I bought it without really needing it but coincidentally at the time it arrived my ZS-20 malfunctioned so that one will not be repaired. This ZS-25 uses the same batteries and so the charger as the ZS-20 which my wife's ZS-41 does not. Otherwise this has virtually all the advanced features of the ZS-41 or ZS-40 which list for $300+. I highly recommend this little camera. My big one, now little used is a Nikon D50 with three zoom lenses.

Great Compact Camera

This camera was bought to replace a similar Panasonic camera that developed lens issues. I was a bit skeptical about buying a refurbished camera but this one has been great. It looks and performs like new! The camera is used by my wife and is carried around in her purse. So far it has "taken a beating and keeps on clicking"!

Fantastic kit package

The ZS25 is the perfect travel zoom, but there are plenty of resources online for information about the camera. My 5 stars is both for the camera itself and for the refurbished kit which included the camera, accessories, 16GB card & case. The case was a high-quality, custom-sized, Lumix-branded case and the card is a Panasonic branded class-6 memory card. Both of these add-ons were better quality than I expected. This was probably the best value camera package I've ever purchased

I've always found refurbished excellent

This camera lacks only one unimportant feature to be like the ZS40. I haven't used it yet but one good feature is that it uses he same battery as my ZS20 which has now failed. I have two extras and a charger. The ZS40 uses a different battery.

Made In Japan

This is my second Panasonic point and shoot camera. It is very easy to use, great image quality. Not a professional grade camera, but it is very portable and it has lots of different modes to play around.

Great Bridge Camera Fits in Shirt Pocket

Firstly, one has to accept that a camera like this has its limitations and its primary goal is its compact size and light weight, so its not meaningful to list the SLR type features lacking. PROS: Great zoom, full manual features, Leica lens, decent resolution, Very compact (cigarette box). CONS: No thread for filters or lens hood, battery is charged in the camera (can't use spare while one is charging), the shutter release was a little stiff.

Great Pocket Power

A wonderful and wonder-filled upgrade from my several year old SZ-7. Same overall size, same batteries, but an even more impressive optical and digital zoom range, with great resolution. The new panorama "scene" setting is very impressive. The old one got beat around but still was doing fine, aside from the oops I made at some point, leaving it aimed at a bright light or the sun and consequently getting a permanent set of spots on the sensor. So, so much more than what a cell phone camera can do and not at all difficult to keep with me at all times.

Great Camera

I puchased this point & shoot camera for a trip we plan to take for our 50th Anniversary. Although I have not had the opportunity to try out everything this camera can accomplish, it appears it will be a great camera for us & easy to use. I especially like the 20x zoom & 16.1 MP digital camera.
