The first thing I like about the camera is the size, it has 10X optical zoom but it small to fit my pocket. That make it easy to take anywhere. The second thing I like is it has IA mode, so with this features you don't need to do any thing to get a fine picture. The third I like is the big 3" LCD screen, one you used a camera with 3" screen, you will don't like any one with smaller screen. The auto focus is good with motion subject. In Panasonic DMC-TZ range,it is the best.
I bought this camera after reading some of the great reviews and numerous awards. I have to admit the picture quality is first class, and very easy to take. Leave it in the auto mode and you can’t go far from wrong. You can easily adjust basic settings with simple clicks. At full x10 optical zoom you can get good images without much loss of image quality. There is the option of HD video, but the quality isn’t very good, nor is the sound. If you want decent video footage, stick to a camcorder. The last three of my ‘cons’ list I was unaware of before buying the camera. Pros: •Fabulous pictures - you would probably want to keep 9/10 of them because they come out good, even at full zoom. •Excellent back screen. •Easy to use – has great image stabilizer so no more blurry pictures. •High quality build and finish (Quality German Leica lens). •Fast start up times (takes a picture in about 3 seconds from start up). •Built in software allows viewing two pictures at the same time, view slideshows with music and favourites selection. E.g. favourites can be played or the rest can be deleted. •HD output so you can watch videos and stills on a HD TV •Decent battery life per charge; batteries charge quickly too Cons: •Bad positioning of microphone. •Video quality 5/10 compared to standard camcorder. •Video zooming isn’t always smooth and takes time to focus. •Zooming lens machinery can be noisy both for stills and video. •Video in .MOV mode so not easy to edit. Not all players will play .mov file. •Hand strap supplied lacks wrist fastener/tightener. •Audio and TV cable supplied but not HD cable. •Does not come with a DC charger to charge battery in camera. i.e. battery has to be taken out and placed onto a separate charger.Read full review
The Lumix digital camera has the performance and wide range of focus that my old SLR camera previously delivered. The Lumix DMC-TZ5K is many time better because of the high-resolution digital images it produces, the small size, and ease of use. Oh yes, and features, features, features! Such features at 10 times optical zoom really set it apart from comprative cameras. But only after reading the manual did I discover that, by turning on Digital Zoom and combining it with the optical zoom the camera can deliver up to 67 times zoom! The pictures at that magnification are sharp and clear, with the anti-shake technology built in. The large 3" screen with self-adjusting brightness make it easy to use in bright sun or indoors. Time-lapse photography is also a snap with great results. For this price point, you cannot outperform the Lumix DMC-TZ5K 9.1 megapixel camera. What an outstanding value this is.

I just bought the TZ5 because I wanted a camera that had a great optical zoom and a lot of user adjustments that I could use in a variety of settings. I got this one about a week before setting off on a diving trip to Cozumel, along with a dive case from Amazon. It worked great both above and below the surface. I was able to easily change the white balance while at depth to keep the colors true without having to lug around a strobe. I was also able to take great movies underwater. The lens is large enough to allow for good lighting for video at 80 to 100 depths. The controls are intuitive so they don't distract from the dive experience. On land, the Lumix was great too, from taking pictures in heavy shade to full sun and it handled the quickly changing light of sunsets easily. I am glad I bought it. This is the second Lumix I have owned. The first, a TZ3 lasted for years till it was dropped about ten feet onto some rocks while climbing Half Dome. Over the years it had been dropped numerous times, but was finally finished off with this fall. It still works if you hold the battery door just so...Read full review
This is the only small camera that can fit in your pocket but take amazing pictures with a 10X Zoom. if you can live with 3MP it can have an optical zoom of 16.9X. That is simply amazing for a small camera. The features are simple to use even if you have never used a camera before and everything is logically placed. The camera is durable, light, and has a long lasting battery. Also, you can film high definition video! what a score. I would recomend this camera above all else. Give it a try. it is worth the price. Cheers!
