This is a great little camera, compact and simple to use. You can not go wrong in purchasing the Panasonic DMC-TZ1. It has the lumix glass lense that I find a big plus for this camera.Has its own setting for macro shots. Also has a simple mode which is a big plus. It also has night settings and takes wonderful fire works photos. The macros are clean and crisp and the best most used function for me with the camera. It has a large view screan that make taking pictures so easy. 

Ive owned this camea for 3 years and its alway the first one I grab going out the door I have 3 others. I will be purchasing...
