Panasonic Lumix TZ5 Details
Editors' Comments
With its 10x optical zoom, huge for its small frame, the Panasonic TZ5 is the brand's new best-in-class for compact superzooms. In addition to the lens, it features a 9.1 megapixel sensor paired with the new Venus IV image processing engine, which aims to significantly reduce image noise. A 28mm wide-angle lens means it's easy to get good shots of landscapes and large groups of people, and a big 3.0-inch LCD screen that adjusts to various lighting conditions makes it easy to review them. The camera does not feature any manual controls, meaning it's strictly a point and shoot affair, but Panasonic's Intelligent Auto mode makes the best of this. The icing on the cake is 720p HD video recording.
