TZ5: Leica lens a winner!
"The Panasonic TZ5 is a fast, small, digital point-and-shoot with a Leica 10x optical zoom, and 3 inch high-resolution (470,000 pixel) LCD screen. The 10x Leica optical zoom (28mm-280mm equiv.) is a delight to use showing no color fringing (truly surprising) that I could see, and amazing detail. And the camera is replete with features such as image stabilization (two modes), metering modes, auto-focus modes, thr..." Read Full Review »

Not for low light condition
"This is an OK camera, The 28mm wide angel lens is really good. But a few things keep in mind: It's not for low light condition, especially when shooting videos since you can't use flash, Indoor video quality is pretty bad. Attached image file is extracted from actual footage, 720p mode, that room was actually pretty bright, but still you see a lot of noise. And the video file size is ridiculously large, Panasoni..."

"I purchased this camera as a gift for my wife. I own a Canon Rebel XTi digital SLR which is bulky and not meant to be a throw-in-your-purse-to-carry-around-all-the-time kind of camera. I had originally gone with pure brand name recognition and bought her a compact Nikon S550 10MP point and shoot. Th …" Read Full Review »

Pros

Best Uses
"It's a versatile camera on land or underwater. Its Leica lens focuses from within inches to infinity and optically provides the equivalent of zooming a 35 mm camera from 28 mm wide angle to 280 mm telephoto. The controls are relatively foolproof so, unlike some point and shoots, you won't discover t …" Read Full Review »
