Panasonic Lumix DMC-FS5 Review

I recently bought this camera due to many positive reviews on other sites and on this one, and I have to say that I am very dissapointed with the camera. My previous Camera was an Advent MP8 (PC world/Currys own Brand) and the Advent camera produces images of far superior quality to this Panasonic. There are also other flaws with the Panasonic that I was not expecting, movies are created in quicktime (Why not Divx or other windows media viewer formats?)
The camera often fails to focus correctly on faces, especially indoors, whilst outdoor images lack detail, even with the lowest ISO100 setting. (a lower setting would be better for bright days)

The camera also requires the battery to be removed from the cemera to be charged, which is a pain.
In the end I returned the camera and got a refund. I am looking to replace with a different make of camera.

On the contrary, I'm very satisfied with my new Lumix FS5.
The battery charger is small, and it's really not that much job removing the battery from its slot. The battery also lasts quite a while, longer than I'd expected. The pictures are of (what I would call) high quality. As it is a 10 mpx camera, you can't expect more than the FS5 delivers.

To not miss any details when fx. outdoors, using the different scenery modes in different circumstances works out just about flawlessly. The camera is also stuffed with other modes, such as the High-speed burst mode (which I, as a 16-year-old find amusing when taking pictures in ie. a volleyball match).

The movies should indeed not be saved in QuickTime-format, but converting the movies isn't that hard, really. Also, if you're going to record film, using a digital still-image camera isn't the best choice in the first place.

After much online searching, was leaning towards the FS5 - only to find out they're discontinuing it here (NZ) and replacing with the FS12. Struggling to find any reviews on the FS12. Anyone aware of it? Should go for it without the insight of other buyers' opinions? (alternative on the shortlist is the Canon A2000IS)? [Do the reviewers have any upcoming reviews maybe or is this not going to be on offer to the UK market?]. Many thanks.
