Digital camera reviews of Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ5K 9MP Digital Camera with 10x Wide Angle MEGA Optical Image Stabilized Zoom (Black)

Digital camera Review: 1 Year Review...Love it!!!
Summary: 5 Stars

My 1yr anniversary just passed with this camera. Last year I paid twosixtynine for it and it's been worth every penny. At that time, I was sick and tired of bringing my digital camera and camcorder with me everywhere. So in came my Panny TZ5k from Amazon. Great zoom, wide screen mode for pics and movies, and easily works with PC and MAC. I've used it consistently for work and play since purchase. Here are some pros and cons:

PROS:
-Color. Black is always IN.
-Screen size. WOW! Where did you get that?
-Optical Zoom. Very helpful, but stay away from grainy digital zoom.
-HD Video. Finally get quick digital uploads "with" HD video!!
-Burst mode. USE IT!! Catch that smile or splash :)
-Built in shooting modes. Very helpful for all those non digital-camera Guru's.

CONS:
-Recording bright spots (ie bright light off windows), a thin vertical line appears. Just know that when filming in daylight with lots of reflective lighting.
-No view finder. But you get use to it. Like a fax machine...Do you REALLY need it?
-Cables cables cables. Get yourself an SDHC to USB card reader for PC/MAC data transfer. REALLY! Right now...go! Save yourself the trouble of finding the transfer cable.

My perfect setup includes:
- 1ea Panansonic Lumix DMC-TZ5K
- 1ea Transcend 8 GB SDHC Class 6 Flash Memory Card with Card Reader TS8GSDHC6-S5W
- 2ea SanDisk 8GB SDHC memory card (Just in case you take too much video)
- 1ea Small camera bag w/belt clip/loop or shoulder strap, to fit these items (Day trip)
- 1ea Med camera bag with shoulder strap to fit above items and charger (w/e trip)
- 1ea 46in+ Panasonic Plasma HDTV with USB or SDHC card reader for quick Photo viewing.

Go to town! Enjoy!
