Oops. Wasn't finished.

Also like iron4025

Generally, no noticable noise at 800 ASA, but perhaps that was cleaned
up?  Somehow I don't think you would purchase a camera that didn't
deal with noise from the outset.

The light and color seems a little "off" throughout most of the
cloister shots.  Probably just the difficult circumstances, possibly
white balance issues, and maybe AdobeRGB too.  All images look better
in PS than in the browser.

Most images, including my favorites, look like they would improve with
some PP, or more PP, especially in terms of color balance and
contrast.

I have no idea what camera.  Not a Lumix I'll wager, but I haven't a clue.
