 Nearly perfect in every way. June 30, 2008

Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ5K 9MP Digital Camera with 10x Wide Angle MEGA Optical Image Stabilized Zoom (Black)
I've had and used my new TZ5 for a month. While I'm not entirely comfortable with using the digital view screen instead of an optical view port, my pictures haven't suffered at all. Accurate exposures, detailed images rich with natural color, all without any fussing at all has made taking pictures fun again. I'm sure the various scene choices and all the other automation do help the camera make appropriate exposure and focus decisions. But, I'd be hard pressed to prove it true or untrue. Everything simply looks great.
I'm recommending the TX5 to anyone who asks, and I do get questions because of that large cyclops-like lens and the attractive black body. It's not your average looking camera.
Outstanding camera w/excellent features June 30, 2008
Have used this little wonder for the past 6 weeks -- the wide angle lens with the 10x optical zoom are amazing, controls are easily found in the menu's-- feature rich camera in a very compact media. this is a camera I will use for quite sometime-- it has every ability to photograph that I can utilize for years to come.

This camera is fantastic. The Intelligent Auto feature works very well. Though I suggest turning if off for nighttime photos and instead fiddling with whatever setting works best in your lighting environment.
The zoom is incredible for a camera of this price that doesn't require a lens. You're not going to find a better zoom. Trust me. And it comes in extremely handy.
The video records well enough. The autofocus can cause some temporary blurring, but whatever, it's a photo camera, not a video camera.
The LCD screen is very big. I've had lots of people comment on how big it is. (The LCD screen.)
The only draw back is it is bigger than other similar cameras; as a guy, this is no problem, as it still fits comfortably in my jean pocket. If you are a girl and want something that is cute & tiny, this isn't for you.
I recommend getting the 16GB Transcend card with it. There is probably a link on this page. I bought it just because I was going on a two-week vacation and didn't want to have to worry about running out of space. For the price, you can't beat the convenience of knowing that even if you are shooting lots of video on vacation you probably won't run out of memory.
Battery life is fine. I'd go out for a day with a full battery and take hundreds of pics and wouldn't have to worry about conserving battery. Just make sure you buy a spare though for if you have a day outing on a non-full battery. I bought one of the non-Panasonic spares here on Amazon and it was sufficient.
I highly recommend this product. I can't imagine a better camera in this price range. It's about as good as you'll get without going SLR.
Panasonic DMC-TZ5 June 26, 2008

Great little camera, easy to use, and great feature set. Very compact for a camera with a 10X optical zoom. Operation is quite intuitive. A little larger than my compact Canon, but, a lot more lens (10X vs. 3X). Significantly smaller and easier to use than my Nikon 8800. Just about the perfect combination of lens (wide-angle to 10X Optical zoom) for me.
Superior Compact Point and Shoot June 26, 2008

I have owned many digital cameras, and the DMC-TZ5 is the best yet.
Practically NO SHUTTER LAG. With 10X optical zoom or even with the 64X zoom(digital enhanced), the mega optical image stabilization is absolutely amazing. I have not taken one blurry picture yet at either optical or digital max zoom.
The intelligent auto (iA) system is the best automatic system I have ever used, as it even selects the proper scene mode automatically (with almost perfect accuracy).
HD VIDEO at 720p is awesome for a point and shoot. My only complaint is that the microphone is not stereo, and is in the top of the camera, where it can easily and inadvertently be covered by a finger.
The camera is pocketable, and nearly as light in my hand as my tiny Casio exilim seven mpixel.
The battery is only 1000 mAh, but it lasts me about 3 hours of constant use (with sleep mode enabled - again - close to no lag for power up from sleep).
I have owned mine for about two weeks, and I am VERY SATISFIED because of the following features: the 10x zoom with ABSOLUTELY NO BLUR; an extremely intelligent automatic system; lcd that is viewable in direct sun; NO BLUR; NO BLUR; NO BLUR (not a typo - it is AMAZING).
If you are interested in this camera, go for it, you WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED!!
