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).

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