Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ5 Professional Reviews

• Cnet Reviewed the Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ5 and gave out”The good: Attractive, functional design; generally above average photo quality for its class; nice, useful feature set; lens can zoom during movie capture.—The bad: Aggressive smoothing reduces detail in indoor shots, even at low ISO sensitivities; modest performance; poorly placed microphone.—The bottom line: Though it’s not perfect, the Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ5’s compact midrange megazoom feature set puts it in a class with just its sibling, the TZ4, and should deliver a satisfying shooting experience.”

digitalcamerareview reviewed the Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ5 and gave out”At the end of the day, I came away with mixed feelings about the TZ5. It’s a competent package that continues to do something relatively unique, and it will still get the job done with style and speed in most cases. Choosing to break little from the heritage of the TZ line, though, I can’t help but feel that it’s not as outstanding as it easily could have been.”

DigitalCameraResourcePage reviewed the Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ5 and gave out ”The Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ5 is quite an impressive package. It’s not perfect, but it’s arguably the best camera in the “compact” ultra zoom class. From its 28 - 280 mm lens to its 720p movie mode, the TZ5 can do just about everything. If you’re after a point-and-shoot camera with some serious zoom power, then the TZ5 should be high on your list.”

cameraLabs reviewed the Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ5 and gave out ”The lack of manual control can be annoying for enthusiasts, and the performance at higher sensitivities is, like most compacts, nothing to be proud of. But these are about the only real downsides to the TZ5. So if you’re happy to leave your creativity to various scene presets and limit the sensitivity to 100 or 200 ISO then you’ll enjoy some great-looking photos.”
