Does this camera produce decent hi-res shots for print and online media?

Yes, excellent camera, the problem I had with it was with the battery and charger, ??? I now own a Nikon, coolpix s9500 camera.

I've done some close up shots and it has performed well. I love this camera but I am not s professional photographer.

Yes it's a great camera. Pictures have turned out brite and crisp. I took it kayaking last summer and no problems. I have also used it at the water park and got some wonderful pictures of the kids underwater and in the spray. I have been using this camera more than my large 26x high pixel because it's steady and easier to carry for many events. Although I do carry both a lot too.

Yes it does. It is not a particularly great cam, but for Skpe etc it is fine. Not what I would call HD, but just ok.

In my opinion, yes...some of my close ups (with this camera) have excellent detail...I am actually surprised at the quality of the photos this will take (considering the low price).

Comparable or slightly better than other point-and-shoot digital cameras I've owned.

My understanding from reading posts on dpreview, www.dpreview.com, the jpgs are excellent. I cannot comment personally since I only shoot RAW.

Yes, but the real issues are quality of pictures.........poor, and digital retrieval time......poor. I've used camera only a few times because of the poor picture quality. Makes an excellent paperweight.

I suggest that you also think more about the lense than the operating software. The quality of the print is more dependant on the quality of the lense than anything else. The Panny has the Leica lense which is in a whole different class than anything Canon or Sony have. I have a Sony point-and-shoot, and saw some photo's a friend took with the Panasonic. The clarity is just amazing. No number of mega-pixels or fancy software can compensate for an unclear image.I'm buying the Panny.

Of course the main reason to buy this camera is for shooting HD video but it is acceptable with still images as well. The image stabilization helps to freeze the action but not as well as a dedicated SLR or higher mega pixel point and shoot.

Yes. Pretty much so. The colors are not always vivid but fairly well on target. Obviously, this is not a premium camera but for the price it works very well.

Yes it is. That's the reason I bought it greater clarity of pictures than the higher MP, particularly outside. Great all around, best camera!

It can shoot plain digital images as well as normal HD movies. You just need to select the Photo mode on the screen menu and you are ready to go! The single images are as superb as the movie images! Good luck. Rick B.

It's still a damn good camera. Their update to it is better quality but aimed at the professional market. 5 megapixel photos and its hd video setting should work just fine for you. I wouldn't pay more than $90 for it though. The problem with the c920 the other answerer mentioned is that it doesn't have motorized pan or tilt.

My experience with this camera was that image quality was poor all around. Not sure if I received a defective model or what, but I returned it.

Yes, I am very happy with this camera. I use a Leica M9, how ever it is not suitable for all circumstances, this camera fills in the gaps.
