Digital camera reviews of Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ5A 9.1MP Digital Camera with 10x Wide Angle MEGA Optical Image Stabilized Zoom (Blue)
Digital camera Review: Nice Camera
Summary: 5 Stars
I had a Sony W90 camera and bought this last month. I am really happy with this camera : it has a fantastic image quality, good battery life. It's a little bit larger than the older one and burst mode is not so fast but I'm sure it was the best choice for me.Digital camera Review: Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ5k

My brother, who is much more knowledgeable about cameras and their capabilities and limitations, researched this camera and bought one. After seeing his in use I decided to buy one myself. This is a very versatile camera. It has many of the technical aspects of a good 35mm. The leica lens, tremendous zoom, and the ability to print enlarged pictures with almost no loss of resolution are great features. I recently used the burst mode to take some golf pictures with hilarious results. Although I haven't used that feature, it can be used as a video camera. Light weight, simple to use and not too expensive.Digital camera Review: Zoom is the only good thing about this camera

I bought this camera a last week and it arrived the morning before I left for New York City for a friend's wedding. I really didn't have a chance to play around with the camera, so most of the pictures were shot with normal mode or intelligent auto. The pictures turned out beyond horrible. Out of the 500+ pictures that I took on the trip, there were only about 50 that I would say were good quality. When I uploaded them to the camera, I deleted over 300 of the pictures on my first pass because they were so bad. The pictures from the wedding were disgraceful and there were only a handful that were acceptable. Most had a ton of blur or a red tint to the pictures. Almost every dance floor picture had people that were so blurred that they looked invisible in certain spots.
Here's an example of nearly every picture I took...

Overall, I REALLY wanted this camera, but it has been one of the poorest purchases I've made in some time and I'll be sending this piece of crap back tomorrow morning.
Digital camera Review: Beauty in the eye of the Beholder
Summary: 5 Stars
I am very pleased with the quality of shots I have taken with my new Panasonic Lumix. The instruction book reads like stereo instructions but most of the features are intuitive. While it is not as lightweight as my Coolpix it still fits easily in my shirt pocket. It takes a much better shot with little effort. No problem with my aging shakes and good pictures. Highly to be recommended and greatly to be enjoyed.Digital camera Review: Excellent pocket camera
Summary: 5 Stars
I have only started using this camera, but I really like it so far. It's small enough to fit in my pocket (or be carried around with one hand) and versatile enough to take pictures of anything within reason. The 10x zoom is quite powerful and the intelligent auto mode is usually sufficient (though not always -- it seems to have something against white and red flowers).
The battery is better than the impression you'd get from the manual, particularly since the camera manages to take good pictures without flash even when it's getting dark. Also, the interaction with the computer is completely painless: unlike my old camera which involved installing its own software, this one works like a USB disk.
I am not an expert on cameras so I won't even try to go into the details. However, the TZ5 has done almost everything I've tried to make it do so far and I'm very satisfied with it.
