Digital camera reviews of Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ5K 9MP Digital Camera with 10x Wide Angle MEGA Optical Image Stabilized Zoom (Black)
Digital camera Review: Best all around point and shoot
Summary: 5 Stars
We went from a Sony F8-28 to this camera and this is by far the better picture taker. With the Sony we were lucky to get 1 really great picture out of 20 taken, and with the Panasonic we are lucky to get 1 bad picture out of 20. We are very pleased and the battery life is good too. 300+ shots on one battery. The zoom is fabulous, image stableizing is fantastic. I recommend this to anyone who wants a pocket point and shoot.Digital camera Review: Best camera I've owned
Summary: 5 Stars
I'll keep it short.
I've gone through 5 digital cameras in as many years (Broken, lost, stolen, upgraded)
The only complaint I and many have about this camera is the auto-focus in movie mode. It constantly refocuses making for bad video, so my recomendation is to simply turn it off, then when ready to take a video, set the zoom to about where you want it and start recording. I've zoomed to about 30 feet away while shooting my kids, and they came up close to a foot or two and the video still looks pretty sharp. No problem!
Oh yeah I dropped the camera from about 4-5 feet a week after I got it and... nothing happened. Great.
Enjoy this camera.
Digital camera Review: Best camera ever had
Summary: 5 Stars
I was looking to buy a nice, easy to handle, good price camera, and after reading a lot of reviews (eg: http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/panasonictz5/ http://www.dcresource.com/buyersguide/), I decided to buy this one. I originally planned to buy the Olympus Stylus 1030SW, then the stylus 1020, but I bought the Panasonic because:
It did fit the 8GB MicroSD card I already had without any problem.
Great video.(Hi def)
Great Zoom. ( 10x)
Size,
Easy to handle(lots of scene settings ready to use)
I also bought the underwater Housing, and after testing it, I was more than satisfied. I think I am still missing an underwater strobe for deep dives, but besides that, I am very pleased with my purchase.
Digital camera Review: Best features, worst picture quality!
Summary: 3 Stars
Best features:
Wide angle, 10x+ zoom, HD video recording, best screen resolution.
Worst picture quality:
In comparison to my old Canon and Casio, the picture quality is the worst especially under low light. Video quality is poor also. It is only OK under bright daylight.
I bought this because of the nice features but unaware the picture quality is so poor. Beware!
BTW, I have the latest firmware installed.
Digital camera Review: Best in class
Summary: 5 Stars
I have traded in my digital SLR a long time ago and first purchased the TZ3 by Panasonic. The bust purchase I have ever made in the camera department. All was well till I dropped it into the river.
Replaced it with the TZ5 and find it is just as great if not better than the TZ3.
If you want a great camera that will do most anything you ask of it the TZ5 is for you. So trade in that big camera bag for the TZ5 powerhouse and put it in your pocket and get ready for some great images to come your way. The 10X optical zoom put eyery shot withing your reach and all I can say is that the SLR people can do not more but carry a heavy load.
They should give the TZ5 a look and I bet a lot would purchase one.
The pricing I got on Amazon was great also and the transaction went off without a hitch.
