Yes. Great camera. I bought a 55mm UV filter yesterday to protect THAT
GLASS! I use a Pentax *ist D normally, but when a high power zoom is
needed, The Panasonic is easier to deal with than a bag full of lenses.
Call me lazy. I usually have it set to a five MP picture size. That way
you get almost a 20X optical zoom factor.
