Now 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.

DMC-TZ5 - Great Camera
»
Been using this camera for about a month and have taken 500-600 pictures and this camera is just great.
What I like:
The Intelligent Automatic mode gets the scene mode right 9 out of 10 times, face detection focus seems to work very well. Many scene modes to chose from, my favorite being hi-speed. Its able to take 3-4 frames a second at 2.5megapixels. The dial on top is clean and simple, the best part being 2 scene modes that I can "hot-dial" to. Image quality and color is very good on this camera. It also feels very well constructed.
What I dislike:
The camera lacks the fine tuning of manual modes, which I would have really liked. The mic is in a bad spot for video, easily covered by your finger while holding the camera. The door that covers the ports is a cheap plastic and opens very easily if you bump it.
Overall I would buy this camera again and recommend it to others.

After much research I decided on the Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ5A camera. I received it 5 days before going on vacation. I took many pictures and did some experimenting with different settings and they all turned out great!! I highly recommend this camera to anyone that wants great pictures made easy!

I love this camera although I am still figuring out all the options. Using different scene modes is very easy and the camera is great for distance shots as well as close ups. Solid product well worth the money
