Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ5

By Lori Grunin (cnet.co.uk)Read the full review

The Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ5 is almost irresistible. A 9-megapixel shooter with the looks of a compact, it packs a 10x zoom lens and some great shooting features and produces some very nice movies. As far as compact superzooms go, this one ranks as a ...

Attractive, functional design ; generally above average photo quality for its class ; nice, useful feature set ; lens can zoom during movie capture

Aggressive smoothing reduces detail in indoor shots, even at low ISO sensitivities ; modest performance ; poorly placed microphone

Panasonic Lumix DMC TZ5

By colinedin (reviewcentre.com)Read the full review

The Panasonic Lumix is a very versatile camera. Auto mode seems to cope well with nearly all conditions. Easy to carry in hand. Auto focus and stabilization work well. Very good zoom. Very poor sound in video mode though.

Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ5: Almost an DSLR(+2 lenses)

By DrSue (dooyoo.co.uk)Read the full review

I purchased this camera prior to a going on safari. The large lens capability, ranging from 28mm (great for scenic shots) up to an incredible 280mm is fantastic. The image stability at high zoom is very good and matches that of DSLR's. There are numerous...

Large shooting range and excellent picture quality

Does not shoot in RAW

Manufacturer's 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.
