Title: Panasonice and planned obselesence
Review: The CCD stopped working correctly after about three years, and the cost to replace it is worth more than the camera. You will see that this is a common problem with this camera, even in the reviews here on Amazon. If I had known that Panasonic builds planned obsolescence into their products, even a camera for several hundred dollars, I would not have participated. So now I have a camera that doesn't work and also the guilt of having to find a safe way to get rid of this thing so that it is not clogging up a landfill somewhere. I won't be buying any Panasonic products again.I think I am going to go back to low tech and just build a pin hole camera until the manufacturers can build a camera that will last more than a few years with the expected abuses that a camera will experience. If such a device exists already let me know in the comments. No Panasonic though!
