Description Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ5S 9MP
The 9.1-megapixel Panasonic DMC-TZ5 packs a 28mm wide-angle, 10x optical zoom Leica DC lens in a compact design, ideal for the active photographer who needs a versatile digital camera. By combining a 28mm wide-angle lens, which lets you capture a wider-framed shot when compared to a traditional 35mm camera, with the TZ-Series 10x optical zoom, you're empowered to take expanded shots, both wide and far. Panasonic's Intelligent Auto technologies are also expanded, with new Intelligent Exposure and Digital Red-eye Correction.
With the addition of Intelligent Exposure and Digital Red-eye Correction, Panasonic’s Advanced Intelligent Auto mode consists of seven intuitive technologies, all which are specifically designed to help make photo-taking an enjoyable and seamless process unnoticed by the consumer -- helping them to take clear photos. When in Advanced Intelligent Auto mode, the following technologies all operate automatically; no settings need to be manually changed.
Also new to the TZ5 is the Venus Engine IV, Panasonic’s new high-performance image processing LSI. The Venus Engine IV produces higher-quality pictures than its predecessor, the Venus Engine III, by using a more advanced signal processing system. The new Venus Engine IV also improves noise reduction, elevates the detection accuracy and corrective effects in both Mega O.I.S. and Intelligent ISO and reduces the shutter release time lag. Both models also incorporate Intelligent LCD, which detects the lighting condition and controls the brightness level of the LCD in 11 fine steps, to offer optimal clarity in any situation, whether dark or light; indoors or outdoors. With a newly developed 460,000-dot high resolution in the TZ5’s 3.0-inch LCD, photos can be easily viewed on the display, regardless of the shooting environment.
The TZ5 is also capable of recording 720p high-definition motion pictures, and because of its support of SD memory cards, is easily compatible with Panasonic Viera plasma HDTVs that have an integrated SD memory card slot, so viewing photos is simple. Also, with the newly added HD component output capability, users can also connect the TZ5 to an HDTV and watch a slideshow complete with mood-appropriate music, choosing from natural, slow, urban and swing.
Best Digital Camera! Most for the $$$ by far!
When the time came to replace our 5-year-old Sony Cybershot I did lots of research all the while intending to buy another Sony. When I came across this model I was intrigued. Most of the digital cameras I had considered touted many features I would never use. This digital camera offered everything on my checklist with a unique added bonus in this price range----A REAL lens with incredible zoom and wide shot capabilities.
I bought it about three weeks ago and could not be happier. We have taken many photos and videos during the final weeks of the school year and I am blown away by the difference in quality VS our old Sony. Low-light photos are brilliant. Isn't technology wonderful?!!?!!

Excellent Choice
This is a truly excellent choice for a small digital camera. Pocket sized yet a great 10x optical Leica zoom, excellent auto function and easy to read instructions. Fantastic view finder and wide angle, as well as micro. I highly recommend the TZ5 and TZ4. Simply said, used it over a month with 200 plus photo's of graduation and grandchildren, including crystal clear movies, 10 out of 10.
Love this digital camera
I am so pleased with this inexpensive digital camera. I have a 3 month old son, who generally has red eyes in every picture, but the automatic red eye removal works wonders!! When a picture is first taken I can see he has red eyes in the picture, but after about 2 seconds the best digital camera automatically removes them, no more manually editing every single picture!
