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
Though it's not perfect, the Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ5's compact mid-range superzoom feature set puts it in a class with just its sibling, the TZ4, and should deliver a satisfying shooting experience
Superzooms are a style law unto themselves. Their boxy, angular frames look...

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: Who could ask for anything more?
By donnafortune (dooyoo.co.uk)Read the full review
This camera is amazing! I never used to spend a lot on a camera, I could never understand the point of it. But, one day I decided that I should invest in a decent digital camera that would last me for years. After a lot of research, mostly on the internet...
small enough to carry around but a big zoom so you can still take great photographs

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. The Extra Optical Zoom function also extends the zoom to as much as 16.7x, 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 (O.I.S.) 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. With a total of 460,000 dots, the big, bright 3.0" diagonal LCD makes viewing and shooting easier and more comfortable. The Intelligent LCD adjusts brightness automatically in 10 steps as the ambient light level changes, so images are clear, bright and easy to see day or night, indoors or outdoors. The TZ5 can record motion images with sensational 1280 x 720 HD resolution at 30 frames per second (fps). You can use the zoom, too, and capture some truly dramatic shots. When you're done shooting for the day, just connect the camera to an HDTV and you're ready to view your still shots and motion images in high-definition beauty. The Clipboard allows you to take photos of maps, timetables and other travel info. They are saved in a separate folder of the built-in memory to distinguish them from normal photos. You can print titles and other characters on the photos you shoot with the Title Edit and Stamp. This is great for creating your own postcards from a vacation trip. Input your departure date and destination with the Travel Date Setting. Later, during photo viewing, the camera will indicate on which day of the trip each shot was taken and the location.
