Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ5K 9MP Digital Camera with 10x Wide Angle MEGA Optical Image Stabilized Zoom (Black)
Now you can fit sweeping landscapes into a single frame with the 28mm wide-angle setting. Pull in subjects from far away to capture even subtle facial expressions with the dynamic 280mm telephoto setting. Ideal for traveling, the DMC-TZ5 Lumix 9.1-megapixel digital camera combines a wide-ranging LEICA DC Vario-Elmar lens with a handy, compact body. The Extra Optical Zoom function also extends the zoom to as much as 16.9x, giving you even greater telephoto power. Set the TZ5 to iA mode and let the five Intelligent Auto functions team up to help prevent shooting errors. Intelligent Exposure corrects lighting differences, so images come out just the way you see them; Intelligent Scene Selector chooses the mode that best fits the situation; MEGA Optical Image Stabilization helps prevent blurring from hand-shake; Intelligent ISO Control helps prevent motion blur; and Face Detection helps produce clear portraits by optimizing the focus and exposure settings.

Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ5K 9MP Digital Camera with 10x Wide Angle MEGA Optical Image Stabilized Zoom (Black) Reviews
Most had a ton of blur or a red tint to the pictures. I really didn't have a chance to play around with the camera, so most of the pictures were shot with normal mode or intelligent auto. When I uploaded them to the camera, I deleted over 300 of the pictures on my first pass because they were so bad. Overall, I REALLY wanted this camera, but it has been one of the poorest purchases I've made in some time and I'll be sending this piece of crap back tomorrow morning. Here's an example of nearly every picture I took.
Almost every dance floor picture had people that were so blurred that they looked invisible in certain spots. The pictures from the wedding were disgraceful and there were only a handful that were acceptable. The pictures turned out beyond horrible.
http://pic18.picturetrail.com/VOL875/3165781/7981400/338454544.jpg. Out of the 500+ pictures that I took on the trip, there were only about 50 that I would say were good quality. I bought this camera a last week and it arrived the morning before I left for New York City for a friend's wedding.
I am very pleased with the quality of shots I have taken with my new Panasonic Lumix. It takes a much better shot with little effort. Highly to be recommended and greatly to be enjoyed. The instruction book reads like stereo instructions but most of the features are intuitive. While it is not as lightweight as my Coolpix it still fits easily in my shirt pocket. No problem with my aging shakes and good pictures.
I have only started using this camera, but I really like it so far. However, the TZ5 has done almost everything I've tried to make it do so far and I'm very satisfied with it. I am not an expert on cameras so I won't even try to go into the details. It's small enough to fit in my pocket (or be carried around with one hand) and versatile enough to take pictures of anything within reason. The battery is better than the impression you'd get from the manual, particularly since the camera manages to take good pictures without flash even when it's getting dark. Also, the interaction with the computer is completely painless: unlike my old camera which involved installing its own software, this one works like a USB disk. The 10x zoom is quite powerful and the intelligent auto mode is usually sufficient (though not always it seems to have something against white and red flowers).
And it really is a great camera. :-) I bought it because I read on a camera reviews website that it is a highly recommended camera. This camera has so many options that I am still a little lost.
I'm a DSLR user, but at times when u r at home or even going out for a picnic or a family gathering you feel you have an small pocket camera which could just slide in ur pocket or hang in on ur belt pouch and doesn't let you down to take most important moments in pictures and videos. This camera not only takes brilliant indoor and outdoor pictures but also take amazing HD video with 30 FPS. I like it. It's an ultimate solution to all ur needs; 10x Optical Zoom, 9 MP, HD video and very easy to use and what else you expect from this size of camera. But when its comes to seriuos photography I switch back to my DSLR :).
