Current owners of the TZ3 won't be clamouring to upgrade, and if you can still find one at a bargain price, it remains a fantastic purchase, but for everyone else the new DMC-TZ5 is a very appealing camera in a saturated market, thanks to its combination of 10x...

Back in April I reviewed the Lumix DMC-TZ4 , Panasonic’s then-new 8.1-megapixel, 10x zoom travel camera, and I stated at the time that I also hoped to get its more powerful sibling the TZ5 in for review soon after. Well it’s taken a little longer than I’d hoped, but I’ve finally got one in, and I have to say, it’s been worth the wait. Read more
With the TZ5, Panasonic offers a product which nicely embodies serious construction, appreciable compactness, a versatile and useful (stabilized) zoom, nice image quality and a high definition video mode. An excellent finished product for which there is no equivalent with the competition (at this time). Read more
Though it's not perfect, the Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ5's compact mid-range superzoom feature set puts it in a class with just its sibling, the TZ4, and should deliver a satisfying shooting experience Read more
: The Panasonic Lumix TZ5 has been a best seller for many months - and after reviewing this camera - it's easy to see why. The camera offers an excellent wide angle 10x optical zoom lens with image stabilisation, all in a relatively compact body that will fit in your pocket. Image quality is also excellent, and despite more noise than average, detail is very good. The camera provides an abundance of features, and has an impressive 3" screen. The camera features a very...

this is the single best camera i have ever used and absolutely bargain for the money , you have the zoom normally reserved for SLR cameras and unbelieveably picture quality , also it is simple to use with all the controls being intuitive ,again absolute powerhouse of a camera , get it you wont be dissapointed Read more
It's slim, good looking and fits perfectly in one hand. I used to have some big, bulky "Pro" cameras but they were just impractical for daily use. This one has excellent battery life, choice of easily accessible options and intuitive controls. I took it for a trip around Manhattan - an all day trip from 9am to 8pm. I took approx 250 photos, constantly turning the camera on and off, using the flash approx 50% of the time. The battery finally stopped working around... Read more
This review is from: Panasonic DMC-TZ5 Digital Camera - Silver (9.1MP, 10x Optical Zoom) 3.0" LCD (Electronics) I am not a young person who is all too familiar with digital items and other modern electronic gadgets, but my family are amazed at the images this camera presents and amazed that it was me who bought it. They have all borrowed it in preference to their own digital camera's. It has been to Greece, France, the Zoo and been used for other functions on the borrow.... Read more
