Editorial Reviews:
With both a 32mm wide-angle Leica DC Vario-Elmar lens and a 5x zoom, this is one camera that does it all. You can fit more in the photo than you can with a 35mm lens, so you can get more of a sweeping landscape in a single shot. The 5x zoom is great for capturing dramatic shots of small or distant subjects. There's also an Extra Optical Zoom function that boosts zoom power to 8.9x in 3-megapixel resolution mode. Simply set the Lz8 to iA mode and let the camera do the rest. Intelligent Scene Selector chooses the mode that best fits the situation; MEGA Optical Image Stabilization (O.I.S.) 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. The brightness and contrast of the large 2.5" diagonal LCD adjust automatically in 10 steps as ambient light conditions change, so images are clear, bright and easy to see day or night, indoors or outdoors. f=5.2-26mm (35mm Equiv. - 32-160mm) Focal Length 2.5 Diagonal Polycrystalline TFT LCD Display (230K dots) Focusing Area Normal - Wide 50cm/ Tele 100cm - infinity, Macro / Intelligent AUTO - Wide 5cm / Tele 100cm - infinity 8 - 1/2,000 sec.

A toy camera Bought this camera for christmas and it worked reasonably well. But it takes a long time between shots, the picture quality is not a good as my older 3mp panasonic, and this camera feels cheaply built. It is way too light. After 5 months an error message message appeared when you turned it on, I figured out is was because the lens was not extending fully. With some pulling and wiggling I got it to work again. Now it won't work at all. Seems to be mfg'ed completely of plastic...a toy.
camera This is an excellent camera for the average person.Set to auto and take clean,clear,crisp photos. I love the zoom you can really bring things close.
Over priced camera There is nothing wrong with the camera. The product was way over priced by about $4I don't think I will use your service again.
A unhappy person.
A great little camera Although this camera is somewhat dated, I decided to get it on the strength of previous reviews. It takes great pictures and a plus for me is the ergodynamics which allow me to hold it firmly in spite of having rather large hands. It fires up pretty quickly and the LCD is clear, even on a bright day. It has a nice range of options and the different settings are quickly adjusted. The macro setting is very sharp
I am very happy with it and have already published several pictures.
bad choice This is honestly the worst camera I have ever owned, which is surprising since the higher-end Lumix cameras are really nice. It cannot focus. It takes up to 10 seconds to recycle to shoot another image--even on full battery life. Spend the money to get a better version (the DMC-TZ25 is great, but I dropped mine on concrete and tried to replace it with this inferior camera when I should've spent the money to have the other one repaired.)
