Product Description
Now you can fit sweeping landscapes into a single frame with the 28mm wide-angle setting. Pull in subjects from far away to capture even subtle facial expressions with the dynamic 280mm telephoto setting. Ideal for traveling, the DMC-TZ5 Lumix 9.1-megapixel digital camera combines a wide-ranging LEICA DC Vario-Elmar lens with a handy, compact body. The Extra Optical Zoom function also extends the zoom to as much as 16.9x, giving you even greater telephoto power. Set the TZ5 to iA mode and let the five Intelligent Auto functions team up to help prevent shooting errors. Intelligent Exposure corrects lighting differences, so images come out just the way you see them; Intelligent Scene Selector chooses the mode that best fits the situation; MEGA Optical Image Stabilization helps prevent blurring from hand-shake; Intelligent ISO Control helps prevent motion blur; and Face Detection helps produce clear portraits by optimizing the focus and exposure settings. The TZ5 can record motion images with sensational 1280 x 720 HD resolution at 30 frames per second (fps). f=4.6-46mm (35mm equiv - 28-280mm) Focal Length 3.0 Diagonal Polycrystalline TFT LCD Display (460K dots) Focusing Area Normal - Wide 50cm/Tele 200cm - infinity, Macro/Intelligent AUTO / Clipboard - Wide 5cm / Max 200cm / Tele 100cm - infinity 8 - 1/2,000 sec.

 Dark indoor images compare to other Wide-angle cameras October 15, 2008
Jeffrey D. Doan (San Jose, CA USA)
I compared the Panasonic TZ5, Canon SD870is, Fujifilm f100fd. The TZ5 has the best features of all (nice screen, nice zoom, high-def video). But I ended up returning both the TZ5 & the SD870is. The f100fd has the brightest indoor images of all, and that's the most important feature I look for. The SD870is' indoor image is a little bit brighter than the TZ5, but still behind the Fuji. If you're really into higher-quality video & longer zoom, go for the TZ5.

This camera is exactly fits my bill for size and perfomance. The optics are superb (though not up to my 1940 Leica :). The colors are very good and there are a remarkable number of settting to chose from (and learn.) I've used Nikon and Cannon equivalents the Panasonic more than holds its own by comparison. I've even been able to show my 88 yr. old mother how to operate it - the only problem being getting it back!
It's not a small, thin camera but, it is far more portable than an SLR and a bargin at the price.
So far, so good October 14, 2008
Barbara Krasnoff
I bought this camera for a vacation trip -- I wanted a camera that was easy to use but capable of close-ups (which is why I wanted a 10x zoom). So far, about a month later, I'm very happy with it -- it takes excellent shots, has been quite easy to learn to use, and is turning out to be rugged as well. (I fell while trying to photograph a hawk, and while I sprained my ankle, the camera was unharmed...)
There has been at least one instance where the automatic settings didn't work, but I was able to find a Scene Mode that worked quite well. I had bought an extra battery, but never needed to use it; battery life was sufficient to take me through a full day of sightseeing, including a couple of short videos, and I never got a "low power" notice.
The sound on the videos isn't great outdoors (but you can't really expect good sound without some kind of windscreen), and it's a bit weighty for a compact camera. But all in all, I've found it an excellent buy thus far.
Great point-and-shoot camera October 14, 2008
D. Bland (Bettendorf, Iowa)
With my old Olympus deciding to call it quits and our first grandchild on the way, I needed to make a quick choice and I haven't regretted my decision. This camera has a sturdy, substantial feel. And the Leica lens takes nice, sharp images. Add a 4GB card, and it takes TONS photos. At $262.00. it was a good deal. The current price of $232.oo makes it a GREAT buy.
Nice Camera October 14, 2008
Eduardo A. S. Costa (rio de janeiro, rj Brazil)
I had a Sony W90 camera and bought this last month. I am really happy with this camera : it has a fantastic image quality, good battery life. It's a little bit larger than the older one and burst mode is not so fast but I'm sure it was the best choice for me.
