I can see what they are trying to do here, make everyone think they can take a great photo if they have a great camera that "does the work for them". I have a friend has a great lumix camera but her shots are crap - automatic settings didn't help her did they! The thing is, there is more important elements to photography than the shutter speed and aperture controls, much much more, these are more important: - composition - time of day - use & control of light - and most importantly CREATIVITY. You cant build those things into the camera can you... :-) it made me chuckle… :)

I'm a big advocate of Lumix cameras after buying one last year and seeing how all the shots turned out. Without reading the instructions or knowing how to use manual settings, most of my snaps turned out quite well (for a hack) with some of them even being used in print publications recently.
