Panasonic Lumix DMC-FH8 reviews:

You can read more about handling, controls and performance of this compact camera in Panasonic Lumix DMC-FH8 review from digitalcamerainfo.com. The experts of this website conclude:

 The Panasonic Lumix DMC-FH8 is a simple, but straightforward to use camera. It doesn’t have a huge range of features, though, with no 3D or other more sophisticated shooting modes that more expensive models may offer (there is a panorama shooting mode on offer, though). But it has all the basics required for casual shooting, with a good (but not overwheliming) selection of scene modes and two fully automatic modes.
