Product DescriptionNow 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.

Customer Reviews
Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great Picture and video sound not so good on video.
I've had this product about a month. The only complaint thus far regarding the picture quality is sometimes the flash is too bright, but by the second picture it's adjusted perfectly. The colors and density of the images from this camera are amazing. The smart face and antishake technology really puts this unit over the top. The LCD display is phenomenal as well, incredibly detailed.
The surprise based on what I've read here is how great the video quality at 720P 30 FPS is. It creates a .MOV file; I'm using premiere elements to convert it to an .MPeg file to stream to a PS3 and ultimately to a 60" Elite Plasma and a 110' 1080P projector. The image quality is very good and definitely high def. I've got a HDV Sony HC-1 camcorder that records at 1080i and the TZ5's image quality is very good in comparison. I've owned a JVC HD1 720P 30fps HDV camcorder and I find the image quality of the TZ5 much better (I still have footage from the HD1 to compare). The video quality was much better than any DV camcorder that I've seen. If the audio were higher quality (the audio is mono and very compressed) and the record time more than 8 minutes this unit would be a great camcorder substitute.
I am recommending the heck out of this camcorder to friends and colleagues. I absolutely love it.




Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - comments on ebewulf's review
ebeowulf - I guess you reviewed a wrong camera!!! (LOL) not TZ5. Please see my comments to each of the issues you have pointed out and given this camera a miserly 1. There are 179 5 star comments to 7 1 star comments (less than 4%) in this site. So majority reviewers cannot be wrong. Again, we are not having SLR quality or low light performance when reviewing a P&S please.

Problems:
1) Buttons are awkwardly located, making it easy to accidentally press the wrong button.

There is only 1 dial that is out of way from fingers when you use. Other than that it is the shutter and zoom ring combo. there is a e.zoom button that is very tiny. The power switch and play/camera switch are physical toggle switch, that simply by press of a finger cannot be changed!!! What buttons are you talking about?
2) Power options for extending battery life are non-existent - the camera simply runs until it dies (without much advance notice). Please see the above comments to switch of LCD dear or read the manual beofre you write reviews.
3) On-camera menus are not intuitive.
It is one of the easiest menu systems I have come acrros in cameras. The quick menu is a child's play and icon based. A nitwit can understand this easily.
4) Movies are in the quicktime format - nothing plays quicktime except intrusive Apple software.
Agreed...Phew...
5) Pictures are NOT auto-rotated in windows. You have to use panasonic's "special" software, or otherwise rotate all pictures by hand.
Worng again...they are auto-rotated. Not the gyro types, but vertical pictures are display vertically but the camera in horizontal position
6) Tech support is snotty and unhelpful.
I have no experince of this...



Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - From a camera virgin: Photo quality is very poor
PLEASE take the negative reviews for this camera seriously, especially the ones about picture quality. I really don't know much about cameras but even I can notice major noise and lack of quality in photos... especially when compared with my old Olympus camera. This one is just not worth the money, wish I could return it...



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - wow!
This camera makes me look like a pro! I set it to "automatic", frame it the way I like it...and all I get is "ooz and ows! This amazing camera makes my walks and visits an eye-opener 'cause I'm becoming more and more aware of interesting, exciting picture-possibilities to share with others. It allows me to look at what I took for granted, the ordinary things and happenings...and see it with a new, personal and original view. This makes my life more interesting and it can for you! So Panasonic Lumix--I can't thank you enough...And Amazon.com---your price and service are unbeatable...Got it prepaid within a few days! It's probably the best purchase I've made in a very long time!

LONDON (Reuters) - Japan's No.3 bank sought to beef up its capital on Wednesday, markets fretted over the stricken U.S. car industry and Britain's central bank said it considered cutting rates even more dramatically than it did this month.

I've heard it said by Dave Winer and many many others: if only Dean had reinvested half the money raised into the Internet, then ...

OK, so you're the Dean Campaign Chief Information Officer in August 2003. The money starts to roll in. $20 million over six months, $2-4 million per month.

What would you spend the money on?

  1. What does your monthly budget look like?
  2. What is your application and infrastructure portfolio?
  3. How much will you allocate to maintenance?
  4. You're building from scratch, so what problems do you hope to avoid through wise architecture?
  5. What are your big milestones?
  6. Who are your key vendors?

How do you spend in consonance with the campaign strategy?

  1. How will you use the Internet to bring offline voters into the campaign at the same numbers as radio or television broadcasts?
  2. What is your online strategy for responding to attack ads and opposition pundits in radio, television and print?
  3. Online community takes time to build and is very hard to organize geographically. What will you do to match the state-by-state primary schedule?
  4. What can you do with online services to serve the campaign in caucus states?
  5. You are preparing for Bush to launch in Spring 2004. What are your countermeasures to reach out to moderate Republicans online while the GOP uses its advanced voter email systems to barrage 200 million validated email addresses?
  6. How will you lower the cost-per-vote vs. the GOP?
