This is a great little camera. I already have a Canon DSLR, but it's big and bulky and expensive, not something I'm comfortable taking to theme parks where it could fall on a fast ride, and it's too bulky to keep with me all the time for those unexpected shots. So I looked around for something that would fit the bill, something I could put in my pocket to carry all the time, and something that if it were lost or damaged, I wouldn't be throwing away a ton of money. After a lot of research, I chose the Lumix TZ5. I have to say I am very impressed, for being a point and shoot, it takes fantastic pictures....review »
