Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ5S 9MP Digital Camera with 10x Wide Angle MEGA Optical Image Stabilized Zoom (Silver)

Everything was great about this camera except the sound during videos. It was awful. I returned the camera.

This was purchased as a gift 4 our oldest granddaughter who wants 2 produce better photography. It has enough menu items 4 her 2 increase her knowledge, without being 2 complicated. During a summer vacation this year she used her grandfathers nikon 4300, showing quick study skills as well as good composition. We liked this camera as a upgrade from the lesser point, without purchasing a more expensive SLR types.

This was a birthday present 4 my girlfriend. She loves it. The 10x zoom & compact design are a great combination. This is a big upgrade from her 2mp camera.

Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ5K 9MP Digital Camera with 10x Wide Angle MEGA Optical Image Stabilized Zoom (Black)

I'm in love with this camera. It is small in size with a large LCD screen. It's nice 2 really see the picture you want 2 take. Menu screens are simple,straightforward & uncomplicated 2 access & use. Other controls are easily manipulated. It's very simple 2 delete a photo.

The photos that this camera takes are fabulous. Very sharp & clear...color is wonderful. The lense is extraordinary. My only very small regret is the zoom isn't as good as on my Canon. It's okay but not great.

I'd highly recommend this camera 4 the beginner or intermediate user. Also 4 those who are baffled by technology. This is camera is very user friendly.

5 stars 4 this Panasonic.

My daughter is a cheerleader & all I ever got were the same pictures & blurry at that. They are just too far away. Now I can have choices of shots & CLEAR beautiful pictures. Has lots of neat features. Love the size, fits well in my hands. Very easy 2 use with computer. Best camera I have ever had.
