Outstanding pocket camera
I have been using high end cameras for more than 50 years. This one offers fantastic features including pic quality, easy and speed of use, and light weight / small size. This has been perfect as a second camera for more than three years, until the Galaxy smart phones came along, when my use of this Lumix declined; however I still use it infrequently; and I keep following up on newer model reviews, and I am waiting for the ZS70 to come on sale, which I would buy. I recommend this camera line to both a novice as well as to professionals who need to supplement their high end photo gear.

"system error zoom"
I loved this little camera. It took great pictures, easy to use, perfect for what I needed. Just one problem. Its fragile. "SYSTEM ERROR ZOOM" It is apparently a frequent problem. I've been advised to toss it. I've only had it 2+ years. A real disappointment.

System Error (Zoom)
This is a wonderful compact camera, it takes great pictures and it's extremely easy to use. However, out of no where the camera came up with a message to "turn off and turn on the camera" and the next message was the infamous "SYSTEM ERROR #ZOOM#. Once this message comes up the camera is worthless.
You can still retrieve any pictures you may have in memory if any, and you can still view your photos but the lens doesn't open or attempt to open. This appears to be a chronic problem with the #Lumix DMC-ZS19#, so don't waste your money.
I have two other Lumix, that I've had for many years without any performance issues, but do stay away from this.
To get the camera repaired will cost you as much as what you pay for a new one, so save your self the aggravation buy something else.

Love my Panasonic!! Favorite go-to camera.
Best one for convenience (always have it with me and totally hassle-free) without sacrificing quality. Quick focus, easy, unobtrusive. Superb wide angle! Great zoom. Clear photos. Sometimes miss viewfinder - can't see screen in bright sun. Different settings than my previous Panasonics. Have used this one exclusively for three yrs, no prob. 1000's of photos. I agree that the no separate charger is a disappointment, but at least can recharge quickly, even in car w/ usb.

Wonderful until System Error-Zoom
This camera was purchased in July, 2012 and has been absolutely wonderful. People compliment the crisp, clear pictures. I love the speed with which it focuses and takes a picture.
About a month ago, the zoom button would barely move. I used a piece of dental floss and "flossed" around it. Problem solved. This week it suddenly had "system error - zoom" pop up on the screen. When researching this and other similar cameras, this seems to be a common problem. From what I read, either grit or a malfunctioning gear is the culprit. Since the warranty is out and the suggested fixes did not work, its time for a new one.
So, if you are planning on purchasing one of these cameras, try to keep it away from dust, etc. and be aware that it probably has a very limited life span. To be fair, I used mine while hiking each week and probably averaged at least 2 to 3 hundred pics per week.
I intend to buy the exact same camera as I love it!

Greatest buy on a photo "camera"
I cannot believe the quality of photos and videos this camera produces.
The store was clearance-selling this camera because the rage is now for on-line photo sharing and this camera does not connect. (I guess the store was getting ready for the more advanced ZS25 or 30, whatever) If your interest is in buying an absolutely great, compact photo/video camera (wow! on the zoom) and then transferring them without wifi, you cannot find a better deal.

Much more than I expcted.
This camera is so much more than a point and shoot camera. With 14.1 megapixels the shots are very sharp even at the extreme zoom. Portraits come out excelent from 15 to20 feet usually with just ambient light unless it is rather dark then of course the flash is used. This camera continues to amaze me being able to use dim light and still have a sharp colorful photo. I would not hesitate to recomend this camera to anyone who is looking for a compact unit capable of producing photos compapable to much more costly cameras.

Quick target acquisition. Quick Reset.
I am so glad I found this model. After I tried mine for a week, I had to buy another one for my 11 year old son. He uses it with no problems. It's that easy.
It can also be a more comprehensive manual type camera.
There are some really good teaching videos on youtube for this camera by Graham Houghton. He explains the different modes very simply. The videos helped me immensely.

Why am I unable to view the photos on my camera after I have deleted some files from the SD card using the computer?It is not recommended that you delete or modify any photos on your SD memory card using your PC if you plan to move them back to the camera.
