Review Verdict: Most cameras have built-in memory these days, and the DMC-TZ5 is no exception. Panasonic supplies a decent amount of built-in memory on the TZ5 -- 50MB to be exact. While that's a lot more than you usually get, it still holds ten photos at the highest qua

Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ5 Review

by David Rasnake

Comments:
Panasonic arguably invented the compact ultrazoom class of digicams with the release of the TZ1 in 2006, and each successive TZ model, including the new flagship Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ5, has been a highly anticipated released.

Review Verdict: As much as I like the design of the camera and the fact that I have a fondness for Panasonic as the FX1 was my first digital compact, I'm still unhappy with the TZ5. I've always liked the designs of the cameras and the Leica branded lens collaboration mus

#3 Best Digital Camera under $400

by Online Shopper

Comments:
A compact digital camera with an extremely long 10x optical zoom lens that can produce great wide-angle and telephoto shots. Its 9.1MP resolution yields big prints, and image quality on this camera is excellent. Much more compact than its competitors. If

Comments:
Image quality is very good at ISO 100, with low noise and good image detail. Image quality is good at ISO 200 but, as is common with all consumer digicams, tend to suffer from noise and loss of detail at higher ISOs.
