Photo : Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ5A 9MP Digital Camera with 10x Wide Angle MEGA Optical Image Stabilized Zoom (Blue)

Rating: - Excellent versatile camera!
Excellent quality pictures in all types of lighting, indoor, backlight, outdoor etc. Intuitive menus, good stabilization even at max zoom.

Best feature is the 28mm equivalent lens, which is very hard to find in a point and shoot digital camera. Screen appears to be excellent quality.

The only improvement I would recommend is a view finder.

Rating: - Nice Zoom but Still shutter lag is too long
Nice camera with a great zoom. This is the main reason I purchased the camera. I just wish someone would invent a camera of this class that had a shutter that fired instantly. Battery life is not real impressive. I got about 100 to 150 pictures before the battery started to run low. I never totally depleted the battery, but had to modify my picture taking once I noticed the low battery indicator.

I have only had this camera a short time, but my mom has had hers for almost a year & is very happy with it. Without reading the manual, I've managed to take nice photos with the help of the easy to access settings choices. In the menu there are settings for candle light, sunsets, portraits, etc. that help a lot in getting great pix.
A friend liked my camera so much that he got one for himself & quickly read the manual. He's already made night time videos that turned out very well. I need to sit down & read the booklet myself so that I can discover all the great things it can do.
Finally, I love that such a nice camera fits in my purse!

Great camera for the price. Small enough to be compact yet still has a great zoom. Large LCD screen. I took this camera with me abroad and the charger worked just fine with a plug adapter. I found the flash to work just fine as well in the dark outside and in some bars/nightclubs. The different settings/modes are worth a look at, especially the one for sunsets. Overall extremely satisfied with this purchase.

Rating: - Impressive
What can be said that hasn't already? This little number takes impressive photos right out of the box, with little learning curve. Outdoor photos tend to be the best--indoor photos can tend to be too dim, especially if flash isn't used. There is also a slight lag when taking photos indoors if the ISO max 400 feature is used. The zoom is very impressive--took pictures of a hot air balloon miles away and I could see the people in the basket. Battery life is averge--around 300 pics. Buy along with a large-capacity SDHC card and you're set! No regrets with this purchase for sure! Buy now, and enjoy this camera.
