Digital camera reviews of Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ5K 9MP Digital Camera with 10x Wide Angle MEGA Optical Image Stabilized Zoom (Black)
Digital camera Review: Be Warned
Summary: 1 Stars
I have used a lot of digital cameras, this one makes me want to throw it at a concrete wall. I sometimes hit the button and it pauses for one to two seconds then takes the picture. I have missed entire shots. My kids running down the hall, I hit the button and the picture is an empty hall because they moved before it took the picture. I would not pay one dime for this camera, because I can't figure out why it does this. I have tried taking the exact same picture over and over with different settings with no results, and then it will randomly take it instantly when I hit the button.
The Zoom is great, the pictures look nice but I can often not get the shot I wanted. I hit the button this morning and my little girl had looked away before it took the shot. Nice, what a piece of junk.
Panasonic is off my list of quality forever for this $300 nightmare.
Digital camera Review: Beautiful Photos!
Summary: 5 Stars
I just used this camera on a trip to Asia and the 10x optical zoom was amazing! It allows you to take great travel photos without carrying around a huge camera and lens. The various scene modes were helpful for me, I only wish it had a panoramic setting. Either I couldn't figure out where to find it or it doesn't have a panoramic option.
I also bought the 8GB memory card and was very impressed. It held over 2000 large size photos and a few video clips.
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: Best Camera I've Seen. Pretty awesome.
Summary: 5 Stars
I won't bore you with lists of features and whatnot since many other reviewers have gone through this. I am by no means a camera person... in fact I know very little about photography. I just wanted a nice camera to shoot pictures next year in college. My camera arrived in the mail yesterday, and I immediately went out to play with it and shoot some pictures. It was VERY impressive. All of my pictures were very crisp and clear, and they looked like they were taken by a professional or something. They really looked THAT good, and this is coming from someone that knows jack squat about taking pictures.. ive always just been point and shoot kind of person. This camera just has a lot of things normal cameras don't have.. 10x zoom, HD VIDEO, wide lens, intelligent auto system. I think it is the ultimate point and shoot camera. My family has owned 4 digital cameras over the last 4 years or so, and this one by far is the best.
Also the HD VIDEO is incredible! I saw that its gotten a lot of negative reviews, but I was actually impressed by it. Maybe its because my camcorder at home is a little old I am more biased. But honestly, I will have no need for that camcorder anymore with the Lumix. I found the quality of the HD VIDEO to be pretty amazing and it looks really nice when watching it on the computer or camera. However, you will need to take contious focusing off because it constantly makes the video blurry then not blurry and back and forth.
OVERALL.. very pleased!!!!
Digital camera Review: Best Camera for Size
Summary: 5 Stars
I have had this camera for many months now and I carry it with me everywhere. I have a neoprene Lowepro attached to my fanny pack through the belt velcro and love it. Bought the car charger for $18 and 2 spare batt for $6 each. Also bought Hoodman Raw 16Gig card $149 and love it. Only ram that doesn't mess up the long video's I take and keeps up with the pic write speeds. Camera is very easy to use and has great flash and battery use time. My father has the dmc-tz3, my uncle who owned and opperated his own camera repair for 19 years owns the dmc-tz4, and now I have the dmc-tz5 which I am incredibly happy with. 10 optical lens is awesome. It is not a camcord though so fucus motors in video mode have trouble like all others in focusing sometimes but the fucus motors for the pic taking are perfect. Alway use the safety cord around the wrist So you don't loose or break your precious camera. I did buy the cool pixs S60 for my girl friend for xmas because she will only use slim line camera's but it is dmc-TZ5 for me. Hope that helps
