Beware of Customer Service
|
I bought the camera and have been moderately happy with it. I was very pleased by the compact size along with 10x optical zoom. I thought the picture quality was fair, as others have mentioned on here. I compared pictures to an older Olympus I had and found the Olympus was superior. I figured you have to give up something when you make a more compact camera.
Things really went down hill when my charger stopped working 6 months after purchase. I finally called Panasonic support. I was floored when they told me that the charger is not covered under warranty. How shady!
I decided to buy a new charger, but found they were $40 a Best Buy. I took the issue up again with Panasonic and escalated to a supervisor. In the end, I spent too much time on hold and waiting for call backs from someone in charge. You have to wait 1-2 days for a supervisor to call back. If you miss the call, you cannot call them direct and you have to again go through a lengthy process to leave a message.
When I finally spoke to someone, they wanted me to produce a receipt or old credit card statement showing when I bought this. This may be reasonable, but I was so sick of dealing with them over $40, I told them to forget it. The last thing I wanted to do was spend more time sifting through my files to maybe find the receipt or try to remember which credit card I put it on.
Overall, the this camera is fair. If you end up having to use their support for some reason, your experience will probably go from fair to poor. |
