I took this camera to Hawaii last August, and got some excellent pictures. I used it on the Cruise, for scenery, outdoors at the pool, indoors in the cabin and restaurants. Also used it on a helicopter ride, with amazing...

I'm not one to take thousands of pics at an event, far from it, I get my pics from other people who were also there.

It's not that I don't have a camera...I just forget to get it out...and when my digital camera stopped functioning I couldn't be bothered to get it replaced... but then I got the Lumix TZ5 as a gift.

I LOVE THIS CAMERA!

 It takes incredible video as well as incredible pictures. This is a camera for photography idiots like myself. Yes, it has tons of settings which I have yet to use but I don't have time set up anything when I'm tying to capture my toddler's antics. Point...

I did a lot of research on cameras before I settled on the Panasonic TZ5.  I went to stores and tried out cameras, I researched on forums and I looked for the best deal.  This camera won because of several features.  Large LCD screen, 10X zoom, and the zoom button or controller doesn't cut into your finger like some other cameras, also recharable battery.  I didn't want something that took AA batteries..

This camera is a little larger than a lot of the digitals out there, but you can get a good grip and don't feel like your going to drop it, also take pictures one handed is easy.  Battery...

I've had the camera for over a year and I use it frequently.

It has tons of features, most of which I don't know how to use yet.  For those of us that don't want to be bothered with the manual, there's an IA (intelligent auto) setting, better known as the dummy setting).

I love the 10X zoom.  It really allows you to get some great shots at sporting events or at the zoo.

It takes fabulous outdoor photos, however, my indoor photos don't come out that great.  I guess I need more practice using the various settings.

A good camera.a

This camera takes high quality photos and has a clear 3" LCD to check pictures with after taking them. The general functions on the camera are easy to use, yet it is capable of doing such things as capturing HD Video.

10x zoom, $280, 9mgps, 28-280mm zoom range, small and compact. Very good value.  Picture quality is so so.  Not the greatest but then its a point and shoot.  Great for travelling.
