Product Description
Panasonic has stepped into the world of high definition videos with the Lumix DMC-TZ5. The Lumix DMC-TZ5 has a 28 mm wide-angle setting to fit sweeping landscapes into a single frame, and a telephoto setting to pull in subjects from far away and capture even the subtlest details in facial expressions. It records video in 720p and is equipped with a 10-megapixel sensor, with a high sensitivity range going up to 6400 ISO and a light detection system with several levels. Gone are the days of problems caused by backlighting and overexposure, because the Panasonic TZ5 comes with a Mega O.I.S image stabiliser and a 9-point AF focus, meaning you can pinpoint faces in photos and ensure subjects' natural skin tones are maintained. For backgrounds, the DMC-TZ5 has an intelligent flash with red-eye reduction and slow synchronisation modes, which help to prevent colour alteration. There is also a number of colour, scene and automatic modes, allowing you to really explore your creative side. As well as being compatible with Pictbrige, the Lumix DMC-TZ5 also has an HD audio/video output so you can enjoy your creations on an HD TV using an optional component video cable.

 SUPERB CAMERA!! July 22, 2008
If you are looking to buy a new camera then this is
the one to buy!!.I cannot believe the quality of the zoom
on this camera, even when zooming in at x10 the picture quality
is superb.
The large lcd dispay is the best ive seen. Crystal clear and brightens it self automatically in bright sunlight handy for beach shots. 3.0 inch & 460,000 pixels!!
I opened the box charged the battery set the time/date and was using the camera immediately its that easy!!.If you purchase a component cable(not supplied)you can view still pictures and movie in HD!(on a HD tv of course!!)
BUY IT!!

Page 13 of the instruction manual with this camera states: "Cards are optional. You can record or play back pictures on the built-in memory when you are not using a card."
No memory card is included with the purchase of the camera.
An excellent camera July 17, 2008

This is perhaps the best compact camera I have owned (and I am familiar with the Sony, Nikon, Olympus and Pentax types). While there are more compact cameras on the market, this is a very elegant and functional one. Pictures tend to be of a very high quality indeed and the power of the zoom is just incredible. It feels good in your hands and its commands are very simple and intuitive. The range of shooting possibilities is really great (that is if you are one of those who prefer setting the camera themselves rather than relying on the automatic controls that, in this camera, are just very simple and effective). Excellent screen. Among other things, the camera allows you to zoom as you film (though the noise of the zoom can be heard, as you consequently watch the film but it is not a problem for me). My only reservation is about the position of the microphone, which is placed on the top left hand corner of the camera - you have to be careful not to put hand/fingers on it, lest you block the sound recording. Highly recommended!!!
Greatest Compact Camera July 9, 2008

Everything about this camera is brilliant. I took a long time searching for a compact camera which was as good as an SLR and this is definately it. The 10 times optical zoom is unrivaled by any other compact and with 9.1 megapixels its capable of taking excellent quality images. The large 3 inch screen enables you to see clearly what you're veiwing and examine in detail pictures you've recorded. The controls can be very easy and take excellent images on the IA (inteligent auto) mode but absolutely everything can be changed and adapted to suit more experienced users. The camera's face detection can easily pick out people and also changes to a block system to take pics of items and things that aren't faces. The camera also has settings for two children, pets and holidays where once on their setting will record the name and the date on which it was taken.
Excellent all rounder - with latest firmware July 9, 2008

We bought this a couple of weeks ago to provide a smaller alternative to our Nikon D40X DLSR. Our criteria were fast response time, SDHC and small size. Looking around, we found the DMC-TZ5 and the 10x zoom and HD video sealed it for us.
We took it home and the pictures were OK, but the auto zoom didn't lock at times. A quick google search later and we found v1.2 of the firmware from Panasonic, after a quick flash the camera is transformed.
It records decent video (With sound being recorded at 5m away!) and will suffice for 85-90% of your needs. My main gripe is the tendency to switch red-eye on and/or change the picture setting in iA mode which sometimes means that you will sometimes miss pictures of the kids running. This can be resolved by switching to Normal mode and having a play (I recommend setting ISO Max400 and auto flash without redeye for best results) but this is a great camera which will do most of what you will want/need for family pics and outside.
In short, there are better cameras for image better, but few better for having everything in one package - the Nikon is not the normal camera we use anymore and that should say something! :)
