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.
Very good photo quality, less noise reduction than previous models (though see issues below), 10X, 28 280 mm lens in a relatively small package, Optical image stabilization, Incredible 3inch, super high resolution LCD display; great outdoor visibility,...
Images on the noisy side, especially in shadows; still some noise reduction artifacting, Lens is "slow" at the wide end, Sluggish low light focusing, More manual controls would be nice, No optical viewfinder, Small buttons on back of camera; ...
In the introduction to this review, I remarked that the Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ3 was one of my favorite cameras of 2007. Im pleased to report that this years model, the DMC-TZ5, is even better. It offers a big zoom lens, good photo quality, a stunning ...
Grand angle et téléobjectif, autofocus intelligent, qualité photo et vidéo, écran superbe, gestion supérieur à la moyenne du bruit en haute sensibilité.
Absence de réglages manuels, absence de viseur optique, connectiques non standards, look classique.
Lhéritage du TZ3 est lourd à porter. Avec le Lumix TZ5, Panasonic améliore la définition et la sensibilité, en proposant un appareil photo à la frontière du compact et du bridge.

vom letzten Mal können wir eigentlich nicht bekräftigen. Mittlerweile sind HD-Camcorder im Preis so deutlich gesunken, dass die zusätzliche Bildqualität den geringen Aufpreis schnell rechtfertigt: Bereits für 500 Euro bekommt man mittlerweile aus dem ...

While the step from the TZ1 to the TZ3 was quite a big one the upgrade from TZ3 to TZ5 is more evolutionary. The main changes are an increased megapixel count, a higher resolution screen, and an improved movie mode, now offering HD quality output. The...
