 Great August 25, 2008

I bought this camera for my girlfriend for her birthday. She likes to take tons of pictures in different conditions, and the intelligent auto feature handles them all. I have a little more expertise with cameras than her, and found that all the features I would want and could use out of a camera such as this are there. Someone who has never taken a picture before could start taking great pictures with this camera. Anyone with more experience will appreciate the simplicity of this camera and its amazing features. If I was looking for a much higher quality camera, I would expect more features and adjustment, but one would be sacrificing much quality and simplicity which most consumers are looking for in this range. If you are looking for a camera in this price range, this is it. 10x zoom is great.
Great compact digital camera August 25, 2008

This has been a superb camera for all of my adventures. It is small enough to take camping, and on long range vacations. One place that it really shines is underwater. With the Panasonic waterproof case, and the special color setting to balance out the blue, my underwater photos are brighter, and more colorful than ever before. The programmed settings for scenery, self-portrait, soft skin, the beach, fireworks, etc. really bring out the best in the pictures.
I highly recommend this camera, and - in fact - purchased a second as a wedding goft for my friends. That's how highly I regard this camera!
The shake compensation feature effectively extends my capabilities for telephoto and low-light photography. Close up nature photos are so crisp and clear that you clearly can see the eyelashes on a Gecko. The image quality is superb, and color rendition rarely needs any tweaking in Photoshop. The photos that I took while on vacation, copmpared side-to-side with my friends, with their other cameras (even one with a major brand SLR) were brighter, clearer, and more detailed. My friend, to whom I gave a matching camera captured great pictures, also - with ease!
I love the video feature which allows you to zoom - an upgrade to other Panasonic cameras - and capture great moments. With the waterproof case, this is the perfect compact camera.
I love this camera!

Pros:
- Awesome Zoom for its size
- Well Built
- Great LCD
- Easy to use
- Nice Picture quality
- Great Intelligent Auto feature
Cons
- Needs more capability to store longer videos
Why a five? Because its shortcomings, in my opinion, are on the video camera side...which is a complete bonus for me.
 Much better than TZ3 August 20, 2008
There is a very good improvement compare to the TZ3, with a new backlight tool, less possiblities on the rotating button (too much in the TZ3), more natural colors, and finally with the maximum digital zoom, we still have a good picture (3M).
