Editors' Comments

The Panasonic Lumix TZ50 grafts WiFi capability and a sweet 1-year access deal onto the existing Lumix TZ5. This capable performer offers a 9.1-megapixel imaging sensor paired with a 10x optically stabilized zoom lens. The lens is wide angle, making it ideal for crowd and landscape shots.

Great camera with loads of capabilities and style (Rita Brohman - 7/16/08)

This little camera is great for those who are interested in good optical zoom and high megapixel options. I rarely shoot above a 4-5 MP because I don't like the storage space and since I'm only printing 4x6 or 8x10 photos - having the 10x optical meets my requirements for clarity at distance... this camera is a great size - has great options for auto and even has an ability to upload pics to the web! The movie mode opts are better than most cameras and I'm quite happy with the new lense that Panasonic has purchased. I've always been a Nikkon person and have thought that Nikkon and Cannon have the only options for digital cameras because of their lenses... this all changes with Panasonic's new lense... I highly recommend this for folks who like high quality pics and photo ability without being a professional photographer!
