TestSeek's Expert Reviews Summary
Staff at TestSeek has read all the expert reviews (so you don't have to) for this product and written a summary of what the editors think about the product.
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.

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.
Abstract: Back in April I reviewed the Lumix DMC-TZ4 , Panasonic's then-new 8.1-megapixel, 10x zoom travel camera, and I stated at the time that I also hoped to get its more powerful sibling the TZ5 in for review soon after. Well it's taken a little longer than I'd...

Abstract: Den dejligt store 3 tommers LCD-skærm dominerer naturligvis kameraets bagside. Det gør nu ikke spor. Især ikke fordi skærmens 460.000 pixels giver en dobbelt så høj opløsning som dagens standard på 230.000 pixels eller tilbyder. Klik for at se et størr...
