Panasonic - Lumix DMC-LS75 Digital Camera —

I made this purchase during the busy Christmas season and apparently didn't research it enough. I thought this would be a great, small and light weight upgrade to to my Sony DX7590. However, the response time between pictures is very slow. I can take about 5 pictures with my Sony in the amount of time it take to take one picture on this Lumix. The picture on the Lumix are much clearer but they should be since my Sony is a 5 mega pixel camera and the Lumix is a 7.2 mega pixel camera. I was shocked when I took a video and discovered there wasn't any sound with it. Why make a camera capable of recording video and not provide sound recording with it? That makes the video recording mode useless to me. I learned an important lesson with this purchase--Don't assume that if a camera has video capability that it will also record sound with the video.
