I have had this camera replaced 2x, both times because the lens cover stops retracting or only partially opens. The fact that the seller is willing to replace the camera is not offset by the fact that on two vacations I have suddenly been unable to take pictures. I strongly recommend looking at alternative options - I am!

I'VE CONVERTED TO THE PANASONIC DIGITAL CAMERA, AFTER MANY, MANY YEARS OF WORKING WITH THE 35MM FILM CAMERAS. THE PANASONIC DIGITAL TZ5 HAS MANY PLEASING FEATURES....SMALL, LIGHT WEIGHT AND VERSITAL....AS FOR A QUICK POINT AND SHOOT, THIS CAMERA OUT PERFORMS OLYMPUS, CANON, SAMSUNG, AND SONY....THE WIDE ANGLE SHOT CAPABILITY OF THE PANASONIC SOLD ME ON THIS UNIT. I BOUGHT MINE FROM AMAZON.COM AND WAS VERY PLEASED WITH THE TRANSACTION AND THE CAMERA WAS DELIVERED ON TIME AND IN PERFECT CONDITION...
Almost Perfect October 24, 2008
Superb photos with very little effort. The only shortcoming is that its weather resistance is quite poor.
Great point & shoot camera October 24, 2008
I was looking for a less bulky camera that I can carry with me all the time, and saw great reviews for this camera. So far it has been giving me decent pictures in IA mode. Auto-focus is fast and allowed me to take clear pictures in an airshow. The low-light performance is not the best (e.g. grainy for anything above ISO100) , but I didn't expect very much in low-light for this type of camera. Overall great value for the price.

I purchased this camera prior to a western states vacation and it performed extremely well! We took over 1200 pictures that all turned out very well. There are several easy options for taking photo's, and we used several that produced outstanding results from scenery, to sports and a special star gazing setting. One of the most surprising features was the incredible power of the zoom. It actually magnifies to 64x and enabled several incredible pictures. We could barely see specs climbing cliffs in Zion National Park, and with the zoom were able to capture views up close of two climbers. The Colorado River rapids were visible from the North Rim of the Grand Canyon-- a site some others with 10x binoculars could not see, let alone capture. This camera is compact, has good battery life, easily fits in a pocket, and enables incredible shots with the zoom. It is our 3rd digital camera, the least expensive, and most powerful and capable. It lives up to Digital Photography highest rating in every way!
