...digital cameras was slowing down, Panasonic keeps driving forward. Well i do not own this camera .my Sister owns it and i tried using it and found it very interesting .With a volume of 16 cu. inches, it surpasses the Coolpix S4 (16.6) as the smallest ultra zoom camera. Held before by the Olympus C-770 (26.6) which I also own. Even at full zoom the lens extends out only 0.55" (14 mm). I'd recommend visiting the Panasonic product website as they have ... ...would have been nice if Panasonic had built-in a better video codec, like MPEG4 to keep the file size down. If you're inclined, save the video to your computer and run it through an encoder such as Windows Media Encoder or QuickTime 7. You can shrink down the 20 minute video to ~150 MB without much loss in video quality. Granted this does require a CPU with some horsepower. The tradeoff with the lens design is that it does not have a wide range of ...

Advantages: 10x optical zoom, OIS Disadvantages: large file size when taking video
...this Camera I owned the Panasonic LZ3 so when I accidentally dropped that camera breaking the lens, I knew that I would purchase another Panasonic as I had been in love with my old camera.
I know the Panasonics are not all that small and don't fit easily into a woman's pants pocket, but you can't expect such a small size with a 10x optical zoom.
I based my decision to buy this camera on the following functions:
*10x optical Zoom
*Optical Image ... ...a challenge as they rarely hold still, but thanks to O.I.S. I haven't had many blurred photos)
*movie recording mode with sound
*ability to zoom in and out while filming
I use it mostly as a 'point and shoot' and rarely change the settings. But I go to lots of concerts and love the fact that this camera takes quite good pictures in low light situations(with the flash turned off and in 'high sensitivity' mode
There are a few things that might ...

Advantages: Zoom, lens quality, OIS, very robust Disadvantages: Not a lot.
I've been using this camera for over a year and I love it. I don't have a great track record with cameras - I'm clumsy, I drop them, bash them around. This camera has withstood a LOT of abuse - the robust metal body just takes it.
Photo quality is very good, colours come out pretty accurately and the optical image stabiliser works well, although at full zoom image quality is less good (as I would expect, really)
Macro photos are again very good, ... ...again, not a problem because with this number of pixels and the lens quality, you can crop in quite successfully.
It's not the most petite compact camera in the world, but then again most compacts don't do what this camera will do - it fits in a jeans/jacket pocket easily enough though, and as a result I tend to carry this camera with me at all times.
The preset 'programs' on the camera work well and you can usually find one to use for any eventuality. ...

Advantages: Compact, durable, high quality images, good size, easy to navigate Disadvantages: images may appear pixilated when taken in high sensitivity mode
...then i would recommend the panasonic lumix range. I purchased this camera at Christmas 2006 and I've found it does everything I wanted it to and more. The screen is a good size, though with the high sensitive images mode on pictures appear sharper than they may actually be, and it's a pocketable, or at least baggable, size itself. The battery life is very good and the charger is compact, lightweight and easily replaceable online (unfortunately i ...

Manufacturer's product description
The world's first integration of retractive lens with folded optics technology allows the zooming to occur horizontally within the camera. This makes it possible to pack a powerful 10x optical zoom (equivalent to a big 35 to 350mm lens on a 35mm camera) into a compact camera. The Extended Optical Zoom function, which magnifies the image with minimal deterioration by using the center part of the high-resolution CCD, boosts the zoom power to a maximum 12.5x2. The Venus Engine III provides a high sensitivity ISO 800 setting that captures images with minimal noise at full resolution. The higher ISO setting lets you use higher shutter speeds to minimize the motion blur that can occur when you're shooting a moving subject, particularly in dim lighting. Even indoors, you can get crisp, clear, beautiful shots of children, pets and other subjects that won't hold still. Choose from several auto focus modes - spot, 1-point (normal or high-speed), 3-point high-speed, and 9-point - to suit the scene you're shooting. The DMC-TZ1 also introduces a new Linear AF system, which has resulted in the achievement of an industry-leading fast auto focusing time. Not only the speed but also the noise of the motor is reduced and even the zooming while recording motion image is possible. Combined with a startup time of merely 0.95 seconds, this fast focusing lets you catch every shooting opportunity. Plus, the AF Assist Lamp helps when focusing in dimly lit places. Thanks to the Venus Engine III, the DMC-TZ1 has a release time lag as low as 0.006 seconds. The DMC-TZ1 can also fire off consecutive shots at a swift 3 frames per second, and offers Unlimited Consecutive Shooting, so you can keep shooting until the SD Memory Card or built-in memory is full.

A couple of weeks ago I was introduced to this tiny digital camera, now there have been plenty tiny digital cameras in the past but none have been all that good. This one however has an unbelievable amount of features for such a small piece of equipment. more
I bought this camera as a replacement for our "family" camera we have used my wife's old 35mm Cannon for taking holiday snaps and felt it was a good time to replace it with a digital. "We" wanted a camera with a good optical zoom, "I" wanted a camera to... more
I had been after a Digital SLR for some time, and when the opportunity arose to buy one I did just that. Well, that's not actually technically true. By rights this camera is not a digital SLR, but in fact a compact 'superzoom' camera, it looks like a... more

I treated myself to one of these cameras in the sales after Christmas. I was expecting a larger, SLR-sized camera, but was pleasantly surprised at how light and compact the camera is in reality. The quality of the lens is excellent, and good quality... more
