Strengths: everything about it is great
Weakness: i am used to using a view finder alot. I have a hard time seeing the screen when outside. Miss not having the view finder
This is a wonderful camera. I just bought it mostly to take action shots of my daughter' cheer competitions and my son's running cross country meets. It does an awesome job of taking many pictures fast. Which is what I wanted. And the 10x optical tops it off. Great pictures from a distance with no delay and close up. And I put it in one of those collapsible koozies to protect the lcd screen when...
Strengths: Clarity, 10x optical zoom, hd video, lots of presets
Weakness: sound quality on videos, a tad thick for shirt pocket
This is a wonderful camera! I've had 5 or 6 digitals before this one which all worked fine, but I wanted a 10x optical zoom for trips and didn't want to fuss with changing lenses. This fills the bill and then some! It is affordable and comfortable to use. The image stabilization is extremely good and really effective especially when I use the 10x zoom. The quality of both the stills and the video...
Strengths: 10x optical zoom, 28mm wide angle, 3" high resolution LCD, smart auto mode, 720p HD video
Weakness: a little bigger than most pocket cameras. mono sound recording during movie mode.
I was looking for a camera that fit in my pocket, but yet offers bigger zoom, wide angle, 3" LCD, and good picture quality. I came to TZ5. It has a huge 10x optical zoom that you don't see on any other pocket cameras. The 28mm wide angel is very useful. The 3" LCD with 2x the resolution to all major brand cameras on the market, what that means is you'll get a much better, vivid view on your LCD...
Strengths: 10x zoom, 28mm wide angle lens, 3.0 high resolution lcd, compact body for ultrazoom digital camera, great image and natural color, leica lens, HD video taking, intelligent auto, great build
Weakness: None
I use it as a travel camera while I can't bring around my d300 body and the 17-55 lens. I always carry it with me for some candid shots. The 10x zoom is great, I can take great pictures with iA mode (intelligent auto) when zoom it all the way out. It is great for taking pictures of the animals in the zoo. I took it to the hot-air balloon festival earlier this month in my area, it produced great...
Strengths: Nice looking camera, 10x optical zoom, up to 1280x720 video, 3" 460k pixel lcd, up to 9 megapixels; plentiful automatic modes; decent price; great picture quality
Weakness: poor quality mono microphone, kind of heavy, will probably not please camera enthusiasts with its limited selection of manual controls; significant degradation of picture quality with increased ISO
The pictures I have taken so far have been absolutely beautiful. Even though the video does look good, it still cannot replace the video and audio quality of a camcorder. Given the size of the camera, the video does look great nonetheless. There is a several second lag between taking pictures when not in burst mode. The camera contains almost 50mb of internal memory, which seems almost silly to...
Strengths: 10x zoom, 3"lcd, wide angle, high pixels, HD photo..
Weakness: not that "cute" as sony-T series, little heavy and thick..
Panasonic's digital cameras enjoy really high popularity in Asian market. Unlike Sony series cameras that attract people mostly by their design. Panasonic attracts people by creative functions and economical price. TZ-5 no wonder matches some "middle-level" needs. It is more than a simple camera for beginners whom may just want to take picture for weekend gathering or parties. With tz-5,I can use...
Strengths: Zoom: 10x to 40x with digital, Size: can easily fit into purse, or cargo short pocket, Controls: very simple to use, Wide angle lens a nice plus
Weakness: Heavier than expected, Sound is a bit scratchy, Need to manually turn on digital zoom
I love the Panasonic Lumix series, and this lastest purchase doesn't disappoint. I did buy mainly for the zoom; I have the FZ-5 and love the 12x optical zoom but I wanted something a bit less bulky for travel, so size was another consideration. I think this camera is a little too heavy for a shirt pocket, but will easily fit in mu purse or my husbands khakis w/ the outside pockets. Controls:...

Strengths: Excellent OPTICAL zoom capability Very easy to use
Weakness: Only LCD Screen (i.e. no viewfinder), not a real weakness unless for some reason your LCD screen gets damaged but you camera itself is functioning well.
I found the camera to be very easy to use. I have been using for a couple of weeks at this point and have downloaded pictures which seem to be of great quality. For the price it is a GREAT camera. I previously owned a Cannon Powershot for about 5 years ... and needed a new camera
Strengths: The 10x optical zoom, OIS, a lot more compact then the dmc-tz1, the looks of the camera, beautiful pictures, so many wonderful features!
Weakness: NONE!
I purchased my first digital camera, the panasonic dmc-tz1 from beachcamera.com in 2006. I love that camera and after having it for almost 3 years i told my dad i would give it to him because the camera i got him got stolen and i had seen this model and wanted to get it. So i gave him my tz1 and purchased this tz5. I love this camera, it looks great, i love the color (it has a metallic blue...
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 its not perfect, the Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ5s compact midrange megazoom feature...

The combination of an effective and powerful image stabilizer and a large optical zoom makes a very strong concept. Nothing beats having a camera loose in your inside pocket and being able to capture virtually any moment you want. The ease and user-friendliness of the Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ5 are clearly present and we have no comments on these. If Panasonic works on the aforementioned remarks, in...

Though it has a 10x zoom the Panasonic TZ5 is still quite pocketable, a great digital camera for everyday carry. The Panasonic TZ5 is about the same physically as its predecessor, with a new grip and a few shifted controls. Optical image stabilization gives the 28-280mm lens a little more crispness indoors and in low light, and the Panasonic TZ5's new 9.1-megapixel sensor serves up slightly...

The new Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ5 has a very hard act to follow - its predecessor, the TZ3, was one of the most popular digital cameras of 2007. The DMC-TZ5 retains the same core features - 28-280mm lens in a pocket-sized package - and adds more megapixels, 720p HD video, a higher-res LCD screen and Venus IV Engine processing engine into the mix. Can the Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ5 improve on a winning...
Top
In the introduction to this review, I remarked that the Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ3 was one of my favorite cameras of 2007. I'm pleased to report that this years model, the DMC-TZ5, is even better. It offers a big zoom lens, good photo quality, a stunning 3-inch LCD display, a 720p movie mode, and generally snappy performance, all in a relatively compact body. It has a few downsides, including above...
Top
The Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ5 is one of the most flexible compacts on the market. Like its predecessor, it may not be the slimmest model around, but uniquely packs in a 10x optical zoom lens complete with image stabilisation and a 28mm equivalent wide angle. Of course the earlier Lumix TZ3 had all of that, but with the new TZ5, Panasonic's added a more detailed screen, High Definition video...

Love this camera, highly recommend!
Strengths: 10x optical zoom, ois, more compact then tz1, looks great, a lot of great features, beautiful pictures
Weakness: NONE
I recently bought this camera after giving my dad my panasonic tz1, after his camera that i got him got stolen. i saw this model and i knew i had to have it because it was a 9.1 megapixel and it came in blue (my favorite color). i gave my dad my camera and purchased this one for me! I am so glad I chose this camera, it is so great. I love the fact that it is a lot more compact then the tz1, it...
