WOW!! I have never spent a lot of money on a digital camera as photography has never really interested me that much and i'm a yorkshire man so spending money isin't my thing! After having our first baby a short time ago, me and the wife decided to splash out on an expensive camera. After much carefull research and reading reviews we decided on the Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ5. If i was being a little modest i would say that it was a very inspired choice on my part, but the wife wouldn't have none of it! The picture quality is amazing, the features on it are amazing and it takes a picture really quickly, none of this delay rubbish! If i was to recommend a digital camera this one would be it for the beginners out there like me and the wife! Another great feature of this camera is the size, it easily fits into a pocket!
