I love my Panasonic DMC-TZ5 digital camera. this is my first digital camera. it is very easy to use. there are several different settings to use depending on what you want to take pictures of. there are setting for snow scenes, fireworks, scenery, people, babies (who can even key in a babies name that will show up on the screen of the camera, unsure if it'll print on the actual picture), pets, self-portrait, night scenes, fast motion, etc.

so you will be able to take pictures of many different activities and events, and have them come out clearly. if you are looking for a good digital camera, this is the one for you. if i can learn to use it, anyone can.

I love my new Panasonic DMC-TZ5. It has more features than I will ever use. Battery life is very good - i was leary of getting a new camera without rechargable batteries because I like being able to have backup batteries, but so far so good with this camera. I was also a little afraid of not having an actual view finder, but the screen is really big, easy to see, and so very clear. Makes it very easy to share the pics immediately ( you know how you pass the camera around at events ) - well, this screen looks great. I wish digital cameras would get rid of shutter lag - this one is quicker than my last digital camera, but it is still there. I have learned to press while framing the shot, so people don't get annoyed. The burst feature is great and takes a nice succession of shots. The only thing is that if I don't use it, I have to go back to the manual. It is great to have so many features, but it is a pain to have to go back to the manual all the time, but this would be...

GuitarLeFemme says "The Professional Point-and-shoot!" about Panasonic - DMC-TZ5 Digital Camera

After doing weeks of research, and using this camera for about a year, I would have to say that it is the absolute best point-and-shoot that you will ever find! The combination of the Leica lens, 9 megapixels and 10X OPTICAL zoom on a hand-held, pocket-sized camera is absolutely marvelous!

I took this camera with me to Japan on study abroad trip, and it was the envy of everyone! Many of my classmates were lugging around expensive SLRs with far too many lenses to keep up with. What was amazing was that I was able to get some much better shots with my Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ5 than any of my classmates. In fact, this camera helped me get an award-winning shot of Kinkakuji in Kyoto, as well as many more pictures I'm incredibly proud of.

While SLRs can never be replaced for studio and professional filming, this camera is perfect for the avid tourist/traveler who wants an easy way to take amazing shots almost anywhere in the world with ease.

jimmyd19 says "A great camera for few bucks and small footprint." about Panasonic - DMC-TZ5 Digital Camera

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. While it doesn't have the option of manual adjustments, it does have enough predefined options to cover most any situation you run into. It also has the ability to shoot motion images, so you won't miss those priceless moments with the grandchildren, and better still, it has an option to create a still image from the motion video, by combining up to nine frames. Granted, the moving images......

dhp13 says "This is an awesome camera" about Panasonic - DMC-TZ5 Digital Camera

This camera is one of the best. The Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ5 came out in January of 2008, not giving the DMC-TZ3 time to get worn in. The TZ3 is one of the best travel cameras because of its size and ease of use. The TZ3 has a 10x optical zoom lens complete with a 3" screen. It also has an image stabilizer. It was one of the best of 2007.

The new DMC-TZ5 doesn't mess too much with this perfection - by keeping the 10x optical zoom and the stabilizer. It has the additional feature of optically zooming the lens while filming videos, and it updated its resolution from 230k to 460k pixels.

Some of the keys have moved around on the camera for better use of space, but I actually thought the year old version was clever. The new TZ5 took a little getting use to. It also has some more features to its "auto-mode" to make picture taking easier.

It comes in black, silver, and blue.

richmond says "TZ5 with Leica lens is a winner!" about Panasonic - DMC-TZ5 Digital Camera

richmond — Thu, 17 Apr 2008 15:36:06 GMT

The Panasonic TZ5 is a small, fast, digital point-and-shoot with an amazing Leica 10x optical zoom, and a very clear 3 inch high-resolution (470,000 pixel) LCD screen.

The 10x Leica optical zoom (28mm-280mm equiv.) ranging from wide-angle to telephoto is a delight to use, showing no color fringing (truly surprising) that I could see, and amazing detail. The camera is replete with features such as image stabilization (two modes), metering modes, auto-focus modes, three aspects ratios (4:3, 3:2, and 16:9), and HD video.

Following action with people, animals or kids when zoomed-in is NOT easy since there is no viewfinder, but it is a great camera for landscapes, architecture, group shots, close-ups and family videos. The 28mm wide angle is very sharp. Zooming is smooth and speedy. Color rendition is beautiful.

AUTO program prioritizes shutter speed over lens opening (aperture) often setting it to the maximum, and SCENE modes change ISO (increasing noise) frequently to achieve its priority....
