I'm glad to hear it. Panasonic does make an excellent product.

Panasonic consistently excels in the "features" department. Where it
always falls apart for Panasonic is in noise. You can shoot at ISO 100
pretty well (though some reviewers complain about the noise even at ISO
100).

Painfully obvious that you have no first-hand experience, and thus no
real idea what you're talking about.

It all comes down to the sensor and the over-aggressive noise reduction
that is Panasonic's forte.

There's nothing wrong with the sensor, which is current state of the
art, and the noise reduction can be turned down (or even off with RAW)
if you don't like it.

Get some real experience so you'll hopefully not make yourself look so
foolish.
