- Excellent zoom and features.
- The TZ5K is a terrific camera if you like a good zoom. The 10X goes on out to 16.9X with the digital added in. The images are sharp and the response time is acceptable for a point and shoot. Weight and size are good for pocket carrying and the on/off switch is a real plus. You can put this camera into action very quickly.
The field of view is very good and quickly brought in with the great zoom. It is easy to use in a small room for family photos, getting a wide field.
The image stabilization is excellent for sports and family use.
Cons: I miss a view finder even though this camera has an excellent LCD display, it is a bit hard to see in bright sun.
Battery: Life is OK even with Force Flash activated for each photo. I have shot over 100 frames with the flash with power to spare. I would much rather have AA batteries. This takes a special size battery and of course a different charger. I recommend one carry a spare battery and leave another on the charger. I use three and get along fine charging all at night. The supplied charger and the accessory charger I bought seem to refresh the batteries rapidly. I have not timed the recharge, but it would appear less than 4 hours?
Would I buy it again and recommend it? Yes, for my use I would but for general family use the user needs to understand a bit about photography to get the best results. The photos have a high byte count but it is easily reduced for email, etc. with the software supplied with the camera.
The camera ia rugged and seems well constructed. The lens is a work of art, wonderful. - 2008-11-04, 1 of 1 people found this review helpful, Rated:
- Great camera
- I'm very happy with my purchase. The product came with all it said tht it would be included, and it was completly new, withouth any scracth. IT takes great pictures, with great colors, specially in warm mode and vivid that are my favorite modes usually. not a bad thing to say till now. Have a small problem with it, but I think it is realted to the card, as i had the same problem with my last cam, and i'm using the same cards on my new cam.

- Amazing pictures
- I had the earlier model, TZ3 and it was great this one has corrected some of the very few drawbacks of the earlier model. THe pictures are crisp, this is easy to use and the playback set up is more intuitive. I love this camera, the zoom is incredible.

- Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ5S
- I am thrilled with my new camera! In the time I've "played" with it, I've taken some wonderful pictures. Although I still have lots to learn about the camera, the zoom is awesome, pictures sharp and clear, and all features are easy to use. And best yet, the cost was far less on Amazon than anywhere else!
