I have been waiting on the Panasonic Lumix TZ6 to finally drop in price and guess what.. it has! So I am now the proud owner of one of these bad boys.

The camera is pretty much the same as it's bigger brother (the TZ7) but without features such as the larger screen and high definition video recording. I read some comments about the TZ7 screen being very prone to cracking due to the way it was manufactured so I stayed away from this and for the fact I don't require the high def recording.

The camera comes with a rechargable battery and mains charger. The battery life seems very good but I don't like the fact that you have to buy Panasonic batteries as other brands no longer work due to updated software which blocks the use of them.

The camera packs fantastic features like a wide angle lense and a 48x digital zoom. I have tried maxing out the zoom and it gets very tricky to control as the slightest movement throws you right off the target but very cool to have if you get a steady hand!

I can't wait to go on holiday soon and take some great snaps with it!
