Terrific pictures it all respects. Suprisingly little noise from what I can on my notebook screen. Hope I can doo as well when I get mine back from Pana repair. It fell out of a not well closed "Body Glove" belt case. Brfore that I was having macro focusing problems. Seemed to be back focusing. Another problem was that the macro program selected faster than necessary shutter speeds with larger f stops resulting in poor focus DOF. Any experience in your use? Congrats. Semorklerli
