you can't have everything... August 27, 2008
T.willy (CA)
Overall this is a very good and unique camera, and I am glad I purchased it.
Highs: unbeatable LCD screen, zoom range, quality wide angle lens, small size!, small battery and charger
Lows: compared to my bulkier old Canon S2IS: less control, fussier autofocus, and unimpressive (weak) fill-flash. This is flash issue is not something I have read in other reviews, but in my hands the fill flash is poor at lighting up faces with a sunset behind them, for example, despite multiple adjustments.
If you accept the above pros/cons, you might agree that this is a terrific little travel camera.

A pretty good camera with an awesome telephoto. August 26, 2008
Chipper F (Nashville, TN United States)
I bought this camera after our old Olympus died and have used it quite a bit.

Pros:
The camera has an awesome telephoto lens. The 10x optical zoom is what sold me on the deal. It also takes great videos and allows zooming during the video. It supports SDHC cards so you can get an 8Gig card and take TONS of pictures.

Cons:
The autofocus isn't the greatest. I downloaded and installed a firmware update and that helped but it still isn't perfect. It isn't terrible, just slightly annoying. The flash and microphone are both located in places easily covered up by your fingers if you're not paying attention.

Summary:
I recommend this camera. The pictures are good, although occasionally getting the right focus takes a second try. The video capability all but eliminates the need for a separate video camera. The 10x optical zoom is a huge plus.

Where's the view finder? August 26, 2008
E. Harrison (Deer Isle)
The LCD screen is huge and clear. It is very user friendly and the optical image stability is great. However I miss the old fashioned view finder for outside shots in the sun. Especially on the water where there is lots of glare. It is hard to see the screen for those of us with impared vision. Had a hard time knowing what I was shooting.Generally love it.

Review of Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ5A digital camera August 26, 2008
Casteway
Purchased this camera after going through a survey to figure out just exactly what type of digital camera would be useful for my needs. I take casual pictures, usually on trips, and am a novice with the digital cameras. I LOVE IT!!!! Would definitely recommend to anyone. Gorgeous pictures, professional quality, and not hard to learn to use. Ordered a case later (from eBay as I wanted the recommended leather case in brown and they are only sold in Japan right now), and a 16mb memory card from Blue Proton through Amazon.

Received a day earlier than expected from Amazon. Was in excellent condition, no problems.

Great August 25, 2008
Jared (Seattle, WA)
I bought this camera for my girlfriend for her birthday. She likes to take tons of pictures in different conditions, and the intelligent auto feature handles them all. I have a little more expertise with cameras than her, and found that all the features I would want and could use out of a camera such as this are there. Someone who has never taken a picture before could start taking great pictures with this camera. Anyone with more experience will appreciate the simplicity of this camera and its amazing features. If I was looking for a much higher quality camera, I would expect more features and adjustment, but one would be sacrificing much quality and simplicity which most consumers are looking for in this range. If you are looking for a camera in this price range, this is it. 10x zoom is great.
