- focus slowly, at high zoom it doesn't focus at all
I've had this camera since August 08.Overall I like the look of it (the blue looks fine and cost less than the black) and solid feel.It's portable enough to be put in my waistpack when I travel.However, this camera focuses slowly and thus not suitable for taking kids' pictures since they tend to be on the move all the time.Also last week at the school concert, I stood in the back and had to use the 10x zoom.Well that was the worst experience of using any camera.I took half a dozen pictures ...

- I Don't Get It
Prices on this camera have dropped nicely, so I bought it based on the good reviews, with attention to the decent video quality.
The camera has a nice feel, and I do like the menu system.
Many of our photos came out very grainy and noisy, even at the 9MB size (which I feel is really an unnecessary number). These are usually in lower light or shadowy images, but seem moreso than strikes me as reasonable compared to our other point and shoot camera (a Coolpix).

- Among the best point-and-shoot cameras
I purchased Panasonic DMC-TZ5A to complement my DSLR. As much as I love my DSLR, it's simply not convenient/practical under some circumstances.
Needless to say, I had high expectations when I bought the Panasonic TZ5A. So far, I have been pleasantly surprised by its capabilities. It's relatively compact, given its range of focal lengths (all the way from a nice 28mm wide angle to an impressive 280mm telephoto). The image quality is very good. The only major complaint I have is the long shutter ... Read More

- It's everything I had hoped for!!!
Although I had been using and loving a small Canon ELPH camera for several years, I was beginning to feel that the kinds of photos I could take with it were limited. I looked at a lot of other pocket-sized cameras (including the delightful Lumix DFX-37, perfect in almost every way!!!!)before I decided that I would trade tiny-ness for the super 10x optical zoom lens. For me, the great lens has opened up many opportunities. It took a little while to get used to the un-zoomed, wide angle(28mm)view, but I am very ... Read More
Rating: - Great camera
Great pics. Very versatile. Not for a carry in the pocket user but good vacation/special event camera.
