Digital camera reviews of Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ5S 9MP Digital Camera with 10x Wide Angle MEGA Optical Image Stabilized Zoom (Silver)
Digital camera Review: focus slowly, at high zoom it doesn't focus at all
Summary: 3 Stars
I've had this camera since August 08. Overall I like the look of it (the blue looks fine and cost less than the black) and solid feel. It's portable enough to be put in my waistpack when I travel. However, this camera focuses slowly and thus not suitable for taking kids' pictures since they tend to be on the move all the time. Also last week at the school concert, I stood in the back and had to use the 10x zoom. Well that was the worst experience of using any camera. I took half a dozen pictures and none came out clearly. It just couldn't focus. All the pictures were fuzzy. I nearly threw the camera away! Later somebody who owns a Lumix said that was because I used the long range zoom. With less zoom, the camera would focus better. But then, why buy 10x zoom?

Summary of Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ5S 9MP Digital Camera with 10x Wide Angle MEGA Optical Image Stabilized Zoom (Silver)
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 16.9x, 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 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.
