Panasonic Lumix DMC TZ5EB-K Overview Normally I use large DSLR or bridge camera, but I wanted a small camera that would fit into my pocket when I don't want to carry a large camera with me, this camera is just about small enough to fit into a large pocket. What attracted me to this particular model was its 10x zoom range from 28mm to 280mm (35mm equivalent) and its reasonable 9.1mp resolution. I went out and took some pictures with this camera, and some more almost identical pictures with a Canon EOS DSLR, Whilst a compact camera can never match a DSLR in image quality, the pictures from the Panasonic fared resonably well in ...  Read the complete review

I bought this camera as a replacement for my Olympus Mju which although took great pictures and video, had no internal microphone so the video footage had no sound! Anyway I was specifically looking for a camera with a high pixel quality, that shot pretty much unlimited video footage WITH sound and that also had a high spec optical zoom for when you can't get as close to a subject as you would like - anyone who has been to a Disney parade will know what I mean!

Are you in the market for a compact camera with excellent picture quality and possessing a better than average zoom lens range? Then the DMC-TZ5 could be just what you are looking for. For me, there has always been two troubling element to taking pictures - finding a camera that has a decent zoom lens range and having a decent stabiliser to eliminate shake when taking pictures. I love to go to concerts and my original camera just didn't cut it. After a fair bit of research in the web, I tested three cameras - the Canon SX10 IS, Panasonic FZ28 and Panasonic DMC-T5. Both the SX10 and FZ28 both had fantastic zoom ranges but they were just too bulky. Seriously, ...  Read the complete review
