Panasonic DMC-TZ5 Digital Camera – Silver (9.1MP, 10x Optical Zoom) 3.0″ LCD Highly RecommendedThe flexibility and convenience of having such a long reach in a relatively pocketable body cannot be underestimated.
Featuring a 28mm Wide Angle lens & 10x Optical Zoom, the Panasonic Lumix TZ5 is the ideal travelling companion. Fit wide landscapes into the palm of your hand – with up to 32GB SDHC compatibility, that’s thousands of landscapes.
Helpful consumer’s review
If you’re only ever going to buy one digital camera in your entire life, then this is the one to buy. 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 clever “Intelligent Auto” mode and makes using the camera easy, and fun, and provides an abundance of scene modes for beginners. For those looking for more creativity the camera features manual white balance, exposure bracketing, rapid continuous shooting, a histogram, and other image options. Add in an impressive widescreen HD video mode (1280×720 at 30fps) that lets you use the optical zoom whilst filming and you have a very impressive all-round package, all squeezed into a stylish, metal camera. Battery life is also good – I was able to take 275 shots on one charge. Highly Recommended.
