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.

Super Camera!!!

I purchased this camera prior to a western states vacation and it performed extremely well! We took over 1200 pictures that all turned out very well. There are several easy options for taking photo's, and we used several that produced outstanding results from scenery, to sports and a special star gazing setting. One of the most surprising features was the incredible power of the zoom. It actually magnifies to 64x and enabled several incredible pictures. We could barely see specs climbing cliffs in Zion National Park, and with the zoom were able to capture views up close of two climbers. The Colorado River rapids were visible from the North Rim of the Grand Canyon-- a site some others with 10x binoculars could not see, let alone capture. This camera is compact, has good battery life, easily fits in a pocket, and enables incredible shots with the zoom. It is our 3rd digital camera, the least expensive, and most powerful and capable. It lives up to Digital Photography highest rating in every way!

Great camera!

I've had this camera for about 2 weeks now. I bought it as a replacement for an older model Kodak digital camera. While not the most compact of cameras, it still is small enough to fit into a pocket and easily carry. The large view screen and 10x zoom were the most attractive features to me and they have proven invaluable. I've taken pictures in several modes including scenery, night scenery, portrait and self-portrait and all seem to be excellent. Uploading pictures to my computer is a snap. I can't wait to see what else this camera can do.

Good camera

Great all around camera. The IQ is generally good, but allow me to clear two things up. The camera doesn't do too well in indoor low light situations, and the video is sub-par with terrible mono audio. Aside from this, the excellent 28mm to 10x zoom is very useful in many situations, and the panasonic camera is unmatched at this time in this regard. Overall i'm glad of the purchase I made for an all-around camera, and highly recommend it!

Amazing

Very nice little camera indeed. I love the zoom and the fast shooting. Also pretty nice definition, good movie mode and nice color.
I would recommend this little camera to anyone that wants flexibility without bulk. I am using a Transcend 16 G card and I think that's what you need if you plan to shoot movies in addition to pics.

The Good and Bad

Was a little hesitant to buy this camera but the pictures are amazing! I was looking for a compact camera with lots of zoom and this does an amazing job. Everyone is impressed with the pictures it takes. My only complaint is the video capturing....if you move the video too quickly or if you are in sunny/bright lighting you will see bands across the video. I don't care too much since I bought camera for its picture quality anyway. Definitely recommend this to everyone.
