Great automatic camera December 1, 2008

After much research I decided on the Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ5A camera. I received it 5 days before going on vacation. I took many pictures and did some experimenting with different settings and they all turned out great!! I highly recommend this camera to anyone that wants great pictures made easy!

I love this camera although I am still figuring out all the options. Using different scene modes is very easy and the camera is great for distance shots as well as close ups. Solid product well worth the money

Color me amazed November 27, 2008

I'm not one to write a lot of product reviews, but this one compels me to do so. I've been using digital cameras for a long time, and in the past have stuck with another brand (which I won't name because I don't want to convey that they're inferior - they're also very good, just not like this one, and may well be ideal for someone else). I got the DMC-TZ5 last month, shot a few images around campus, then took it off to San Francisco for a week.

To put it simply, I am blown away by the handling and image quality. You can read elsewhere about the outstanding Leica lens, the good build quality and materials, and I haven't taken it apart or put it on the test bench so I won't add to that discussion. But I'm a pretty demanding photographer, and this camera makes me very happy.

I took street grab shots all over the city and found the camera very responsive. The LCD worked fine for me in all lighting conditions, and I found it quite easy to compose and shoot. The most needed controls are easily accessible - white balance, exposure compensation, picture modes - and the menus and default settings are easy to work with to get the camera configured just the way you want. The ability to select different color profiles is especially nice. The grip and general configuration work well - I have fairly large hands and have no problem with this relatively small camera. The lens does take a moment to crank out or in when you turn the camera on or off but that's to be expected with a 10X zoom.

Flash photos worked fine, although like any small camera the flash reach is limited, but where it really blew me away was in taking image-stabilized low-light photos. I shot nighttime street scenes, lit by store signs and street lights only, and the images are sharp and crisp at ISO 800. No, I haven't printed them, but looking onscreen at full resolution they're better than any others I've seen. I'm sure one can get better from a D-SLR but I'm not willing to carry around that much camera equipment anymore - I want a camera that will always be with me and can still take excellent photos, and this fits the bill better than I had imagined.

I haven't used the video function so can't speak to that. Image uploading isn't exactly fast but I think that's a function of the high resolution and corresponding large files rather than some kind of electronic limitation. I like the blue color finish on the body even.

I see surprisingly little barrel distortion at the wide end of the zoom, and being able to go from 28-280mm equivalent is wonderful. And at the long end the image stabilization really does work. Well. Even in low light.

In sum, I love this camera!
