Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ5K 9MP Digital Camera with 10x Wide Angle MEGA Optical Image Stabilized Zoom (Black)

Been using this camera for about a month and have taken 500-600 pictures and this camera is just great.

What I like:
The Intelligent Automatic mode gets the scene mode right 9 out of 10 times, face detection focus seems to work very well. Many scene modes to chose from, my favorite being hi-speed. Its able to take 3-4 frames a second at 2.5megapixels. The dial on top is clean and simple, the best part being 2 scene modes that I can "hot-dial" to. Image quality and color is very good on this camera. It also feels very well constructed.

What I dislike:
The camera lacks the fine tuning of manual modes, which I would have really liked. The mic is in a bad spot for video, easily covered by your finger while holding the camera. The door that covers the ports is a cheap plastic and opens very easily if you bump it.

Overall I would buy this camera again and recommend it to others.

I was looking for a camera That I could zoom and carry in my pocket it is every thing I wanted, and easy to use pictures are very good and battery takes at least 100 pictures.

After much research I decided on the Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ5A camera. I received it 5 days before going on vacation. I took many pictures and did some experimenting with different settings and they all turned out great!! I highly recommend this camera to anyone that wants great pictures made easy!

Very nice camera .. easy to set and use.. i love the bust action photos you can take with it...

I love this camera although I am still figuring out all the options. Using different scene modes is very easy and the camera is great for distance shots as well as close ups. Solid product well worth the money
