Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ5 Review
The Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ5 has been taken out for a spin by our friends at Photography BLOG, and here's their summary in a nutshell.
The Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ5 is a marginally better camera than the TZ3, with improved image quality, an excellent LCD screen, useful Intelligent Auto mode for beginners, and the attraction of HD video. It's a shame that Panasonic haven't added any manual exposure modes, as with the recent DMC-LZ10 model, which is the only Panasonic compact camera to offer any control over aperture and shutter speed (apart from the ageing DMC-LX2). If you don't mind sacrificing half the focal length, the 5x zoom DMC-LZ10 is an excellent alternative. But if you're happy to accept the purely point-and-shoot nature of the Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ5, that unchanged combination of huge focal range and compact dimensions is still too liberating to ignore.
All in all, this is a pretty decent point-and-shoot camera that targets beginners, so shutterbugs who want to take that next step up must look elsewhere.
