Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ5A 9.1MP Digital Camera with 10x Wide Angle MEGA Optical Image Stabilized Zoom (Blue)

I am thrilled with my new camera! In the time I've "played" with it, I've taken some wonderful pictures. Although I still have lots to learn about the camera, the zoom is awesome, pictures sharp and clear, and all features are easy to use. And best yet, the cost was far less on Amazon than anywhere else!

Compré la cámara hace algunas semanas y estoy muy contento... el zoom es fantástico y el menú tiene muchas opciones para tomar las fotografías. Además es muy bonita y su pantalla LCD es perfecta. La recomiendo.

I was expenting something else.
I got this camera i trade for my kodak M1033
AND now i feel bad i did.
I traded because of the 10x zoom.
i dont like the picture quality of this camera.
I only used for 2 days
maybe its me im not doing something right.
I own a Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ7 and it was much better then this one (6 mp)
so i dont know. i may change my mind when i use it more.

Received the camera from AMAZON, loved the price, after pretty good comparative shopping, but the best is the camera itself. LUMIX TZ5 has a hard to find 10x optical zoom, for small digitals, optical stabilization - already seen excellent improvement over my previous Canon 550, in identical conditions. TO top it off, the TZ5 comes with one of the widest wide angles in the market for a digital point and shoot. The choices for programmable preselections are endless and very helpful. Battery life is OK. The user interface is OK, not sure if it is my learning curve as I have been a long time CANON user and I need time to adjust, or whether it is just a bit more complicated. Anyway, I am willing to spend more time in the user interface given the better overall quality and options I am getting. Sticking with the 5 stars, even though the AMAZON service and price demand their own separate 5 stars. NOTE: I ordered the camera with a next day delivery. It arrived 3 days later due to a shipping mix up, but AMAZON refunded me immediately all the shipping charges. I guess bad things happen, but the good response has to be there to make everything better.

nice all the way around. i used it recently to take pictures at the Renaisssance festival in texas...the only complaint i have so far is that the video (during the daytime outside) seems quite over-exposed (bright)...perhaps there is a setting to fix this, but i have yet to find it. Anyway, i'm Incredibly pleased with this camera...i was even able to zoom in far while someone was running around, take the pic almost instantly, and there was no blur with the flailing of his arms and legs. good stuff.
