Impression
The exterior of the camera is designed by Leica, so it is hard to believe that it is a Panasonic-OEM.
The one I have has some gaps in the body and some other defects due to its age, probably because it was used, but the electrical components are Panasonic, so it is still usable even after 19 years.
There is almost no waiting time between turning on the power and starting shooting, which is comparable to a modern compact digital camera.
The picture quality is very good, but the 3.2-megapixel image sensor is small, so highlights are blown out unless the exposure is correct, noise is generated when it is slightly dark, and the camera tends to blur in dark places.
The camera’s compact body fits in one hand, it starts up quickly, and it sometimes produces images reminiscent of negative film.
As of 2022, compatible DMW-BCA7 *1 batteries can be purchased on Rakuten. The battery that came with the used body was unusable because the exterior had disintegrated due to hydrolysis of the plastic over time and was slightly swollen, so I purchased two of the linked compatible batteries. The linked compatible batteries are usable and charge properly with the OEM adapter.
