TestSeek's Expert Reviews Summary   

The Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ5 is unique in the fact that it is heavier and larger than most other products in its range. Where most makers are trying to reduce the size of the camera and make it compact, the DMC TZ-25 goes exactly opposite to this trend. It has a measure of 103.3 x 59.3 x 36.5mm and a weight of 240 gms, making it almost double the normal compact camera weight.

The camera has a 9.1 megapixel resolution CCD sensor, a 4x digital zooming; it has a shutter speed of 1/2000 sec to 60 sec, face recognition software with self-timer, a 3inch TFT LCD display, and an automatic focal adjustment. In addition to all these, it has a 1280x720-pixel movie-capture quality, which is higher than most cameras. However, due to the large resolution and size, the camera does take more time in shots and between shots.

The editors liked

  • Movie-capture zoom ability
  • Good photo quality and resolution
  • 10x optical zoom
  • User friendly interface
  • Comfortable handgrip slot
  • 3 inch screen and high resolution
  • Wide lens with good quality
  • Excellent colour balance.

The editors didn't like

  • Microphone placing is not proper
  • Less detail in shots taken indoors
  • Low ISO capacity
  • Lower performance as compared to most others in its range.

TestSeek's Conclusion

The Panasonic Lumix DMC TZ5 is not entirely perfect, but does have most of its good points. The mega-zoom facility and the comfortable handling puts it among the top league of cameras in its range. All in all, the camera is a good buy if you overlook its bulk and low sensitivity.

  • A noi non è piaciuto il lieve sfarfallio del display in diverse condizioni di luce, poca cosa, ma sempre fastidiosa. Oltre al motore di ripresa che, specialmente nel caso di scatti multipli (circa 3 al secondo), lascia un po a desiderare. Positive in...

  • Abstract:  Panasonic DMC-TZ5 er et allsidig og funksjonsrikt kamera som har greid å kombinere hele 10x optisk zoom med en formfaktor som gjør at det - selv om det ikke passer i en skjortelomme - helt klart fremstår som et kompaktkamera og ikke et krympet speilref...

  • Abstract:  Det som derimot har endret seg markant i forhold til tidligere kameraer, er mengden støy – eller rettere sagt støyredusering. Tidligere støynivå holdes vitterlig nede, men bakdelen er at bildene har blitt mer pastellaktige.

  • Abstract:  Its not big, but it goes a long way. A great lens and screen for a pocket-sized unit. The idea behind the TZ5 is simple and brilliant: its barely bigger than most compact cameras, and slim enough to slip into a pocket, yet its lens has a 10x zoom t...

  • In these days of fuel and baggage surcharges, gadgets have to earn their place in your hand luggage. The TZ5 goes straight to business class, boasting a 10x (28-280mm) zoom lens that has the width to capture wide-open landscapes and the legroom to snap te...
  • There’s always another cabin slightly closer to the front of the plane. While colourful and well-exposed, the 10MP images from the Lumix aren’t quite as sharp as those from Canon’s PowerShot S5 IS, for instance. Grainy digital noise is a...
  • The TZ5 costs a chunk more than an economy class camera but the upgrade is well worth it. This all-in-one camera has a superb lens, great ease of use and one of the best LCDs you’ll find on any compact.Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ5 is tagged with camera...

  • Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ5 er utvilsomt blant de beste kameraene i sin klasse, kompaktkameraer med stort zoomomfang. Ettersom optikken ikke er krympet til det ekstreme, er bildekvaliteten ganske høy. Panasonic sliter riktignok fortsatt litt med at bildes...

  • Abstract:  Optical zoom at its optimum A good choice if you want some serious optical power and features, but the size and price may put you off.Although it’s not the most compact of compacts – it’ll only fit into your jeans back pocket if you’re not planning to ...

  • Abstract:  Das zweite Weitwinkel-Modell von Panasonic sieht trotz seines 10-fach-Zoomobjektiv mit 28 bis 280 mm Brennweite (Kleinbild) aus wie eine etwas größere Standardkompakte. Der 3-Zoll-Monitor löst mit 3 x 153 333 Pixeln außer­­gewöhnlich hoch auf und zeig...

  • Abstract:  Panasonics Travel Zoom (TZ) cameras have consistently impressed us over the past two years. The concept is simple: a wide-angle, 10x-zoom camera thats compact enough to slip into a jacket pocket or handbag. Dimensions and zoom range are arguably t...

  • Bildqualität auch bei wenig Umgebungslicht und ISO 400 durchaus noch brauchbar, Sehr interessanter Brennweitenbereich: 28mm Weitwinkel bis 280mm Tele (10x Zoom), Guter Bildstabilisator, verwacklungsfreie Bilder auch bei 10x Zoom möglich, Kamerag...
  • Relativ langsam beim scharfstellen vor allem im Telebereich, Kein optischer Sucher vorhanden, Keine Blenden/Zeitvorwahl, kein Manueller Modus, Kein RAW Bildformat, MindestMakroabstand mit 5cm zwar akzeptabel, dieser könnte aber auch geringer sein, St...
  • Der große und weitwinklige Brennweitenbereich der Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ und der sehr klare aber speicherhungrige HD Videomodus bei 1.280 x 720 Pixel und 30 Bildern pro Sekunde, der optische Bildstabilisator, der auch bei 10fach Zoom verwacklungsfrei...
