Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ5 (Silver) review
Attractive, functional design ; generally above-average photo quality for its class ; nice, useful feature set ; lens can zoom during movie capture
Aggressive smoothing reduces detail in indoor shots, even at low ISO sensitivities ; modest performance ; poorly placed microphone
Though it's not perfect, the Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ5's compact midrange megazoom feature set puts it in a class with just its sibling, the TZ4, and should deliver a satisfying shooting experience.

While there are less expensive long-zoom consumer compacts on the market, they don't deliver the overall build quality and level of performance of the DMC-TZ5. The all-metal body, excellent Leica lens and host of features set this camera apart from ...

Panasonic managed to improve battery life by about 10% on the DMC-TZ5, with the Venus Engine IV having a lot to do with that. In the group as a whole, the TZ5 is just slightly below average.

"Not disappointed at all!"
By no means am I any photo pro, im just here ...
Excellent color and detail in photos, decent HD video for a PAS cam, manual settings as well as auto, doesn't look like a girly camera.
1)Battery Battery Battery life sucks!!!! due to a mah rating of only 1000. Newer high tech devices like these really need 2000 in order to last.
"Great ultra zoom camera."
Great image quality
Battery life for about 300 shots

10Xoptical lens (leica) fast flash, long lasting battery, wide selection of auto settings,huge display, compact size, good lens cover, outstanding quality of pictures, (people are always amazed)
When I was looking to buy, I insisted on a separate viewfinder. Finding very few that had one, I opted for the biggest and best display from the lumix. So while it is not a real "con" (I've grown to like it) I do sometimes miss the viewfinder
