Product Description
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.

 Decent camera for the price January 4, 2009
We used to have an Olympus 10x zoom camera, it was bulky and it was only 4 MP, this camera is much more compact with a big LCD display, it looked great. We have used it for a month or so, it's been working flawlessly, my wife likes it, that's what really matters. We will be on a trip to China in a few weeks, the camera will get a lot of usage for sure.
Panasonis Lumix TZ5K is great Camera and HD vdeo camera! January 3, 2009
I bought this camera for my family as we needed a small digital slim camera to take with us on vacations that would fit in a pocket or purse. I did alot of research because I wanted a minimum 9MP camera with maximum zoom and HD Video capabilities. I chose the Panasonic TZ5K and I am happy I made the right decision! It takes wonderful pictures in Intelligent Auto mode and sharp HD videos that playback perfectly on my Pioneer Plasma 50" TV. Panasonic has hit a Home Run with the TZ5 camera and Amazon always has the best price with fastest delivery. I would recommend both to everyone!
Just what I expected January 3, 2009
I did a lot of research before deciding on this camera. There really aren't many options if you want a compact camera with a big zoom lens. I have had the camera for a couple of weeks and have really enjoyed using it. The overall performace is great, it looks good, and it has a nice size and feel. The video is quite good for digital still camera (this isn't a camcorder). The major weakness I have noticed so far is what I had read about before I purchased it: it doesn't take great pictures in poor lighting. While the pictures aren't terrible in such conditions, it is noticeably worse than other environments. This is THE camera for casual users or for someone like me who can't afford multiple cameras, wants good pictures with a lot of zoom, and needs a compact camera size.
Ditto...Excellent camera January 2, 2009
My girlfriend has been trying to get me to start taking pictures again and gave me this camera for Christmas. The manual was a tad daunting at first...but a few hours later I was happily shooting away. I learned photography on a SLR (do we say analog camera now?). The TZ5 was very easy to migrate to from an SLR. Do get the memory cards...the on board memory will hold less than 12 high-quality photos. The other positive reviews will give you the technical perks and potholes. Excellent choice.....
 Happier with my Canon SD870 IS January 1, 2009

I bought the Panasonic TZ5 because I usually buy Canons and wanted to see what else was available in the compact camera market. I wanted a camera that was lightweight and pocketable - two words that I would not use to describe my Canon G9. I wanted image quality that was good enough "as is" - clear detail and accurate color without requiring me to fix it. I was not concerned with lots of manual control - I have my G9 in my bag (but not my pocket).
I was not especially impressed with the TZ5 when I played with it at the local Best Buy, but I attributed that to the floor model being pretty beat up. After receiving one from Amazon, I compared the results with my wife's SD870 IS; both inside the house and outdoors. Indoor pictures were very yellow with the TZ5 - none of the white balance settings yielded good results. Outdoors, the TZ5 tended to wash out images and lose fine detail. In automatic mode, the Canon consistently turned out better pictures (in my opinion) than the Panasonic.
In the end, I'm going to return the TZ5 and get an SD880 IS. The Canon is smaller, lighter, and produces better looking pictures; too bad it can't also have that fantastic 10x Leica zoom lens.
