Lumix DMC-TZ5 Rocks!
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.
I was initially looking for a good quality, reasonably priced digital camera to replace a Samsung that I bought abroad a couple of years ago.
I wanted something with a good zoom, decent lens and quick to use, as I've just had a new baby..
I got in touch with a pro photographer friend, who said that a few of his (also pro photographer) pals had got this camera for when they just wanted to take something out that didn't involve a whole bag of tricks.
It doesn't disappoint.
The zoom is great at 10x optical plus it also has a finger tip option to get an extra digital zoom.
With a number of pre-set scene selections that you can play with, there is plenty of flexibility in auto mode. You can also have a selection of manual features that you can play with at your leisure.
The Leica lens is renowned for its quality and holds true to reputation.
Not sure on battery life as yet, as it's not run out after a few weeks of snapping, but I've got a spare that I'll slip in if needed.
When buying, there were a selection of colours, I plumped for the blue which is really cool and unusual looking.
All in all a great cam, that's not cheap, but won't break the bank. Really good pic quality, lens and value for money.
