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.

 Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ5S November 17, 2008
This was purchased as a gift for our oldest granddaughter who wants to produce better photography. It has enough menu items for her to increase her knowledge, without being to complicated. During a summer vacation this year she used her grandfathers nikon 4300, showing quick study skills as well as good composition. We liked this camera as a upgrade from the lesser point, without purchasing a more expensive SLR types.
 Great camera November 17, 2008
This was a birthday present for my girlfriend. She loves it. The 10x zoom and compact design are a great combination. This is a big upgrade from her 2mp camera.

Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ5K 9MP Digital Camera with 10x Wide Angle MEGA Optical Image Stabilized Zoom (Black)
I'm in love with this camera. It is small in size with a large LCD screen. It's nice to really see the picture you want to take. Menu screens are simple,straightforward and uncomplicated to access and use. Other controls are easily manipulated. It's very simple to delete a photo.
The photos that this camera takes are fabulous. Very sharp and clear...color is wonderful. The lense is extraordinary. My only very small regret is the zoom isn't as good as on my Canon. It's okay but not great.
I'd highly recommend this camera for the beginner or intermediate user. Also for those who are baffled by technology. This is camera is very user friendly.
5 stars for this Panasonic.
Love this camera November 14, 2008

My daughter is a cheerleader and all I ever got were the same pictures and blurry at that. They are just too far away. Now I can have choices of shots and CLEAR beautiful pictures. Has lots of neat features. Love the size, fits well in my hands. Very easy to use with computer. Best camera I have ever had.
Great Picture and video sound not so good on video. November 12, 2008
I've had this product about a month. The only complaint thus far regarding the picture quality is sometimes the flash is too bright, but by the second picture it's adjusted perfectly. The colors and density of the images from this camera are amazing. The smart face and antishake technology really puts this unit over the top. The LCD display is phenomenal as well, incredibly detailed.
The surprise based on what I've read here is how great the video quality at 720P 30 FPS is. It creates a .MOV file; I'm using premiere elements to convert it to an .MPeg file to stream to a PS3 and ultimately to a 60" Elite Plasma and a 110' 1080P projector. The image quality is very good and definitely high def. I've got a HDV Sony HC-1 camcorder that records at 1080i and the TZ5's image quality is very good in comparison. I've owned a JVC HD1 720P 30fps HDV camcorder and I find the image quality of the TZ5 much better (I still have footage from the HD1 to compare). The video quality was much better than any DV camcorder that I've seen. If the audio were higher quality (the audio is mono and very compressed) and the record time more than 8 minutes this unit would be a great camcorder substitute.
I am recommending the heck out of this camcorder to friends and colleagues. I absolutely love it.
