Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ5

Panasonic follows up last year's compact megazoom Lumix DMC-TZ3 with two models. The DMC-TZ4 and DMC-TZ5 have similar feature sets, which include an optically stabilized 28mm-280mm 10x zoom lens and the next-generation Venus Engine IV image processing; Panasonic claims the latter provides improved noise reduction, faster performance, and more responsive stabilization.

The cameras differ mostly by resolution and LCD size. The TZ4 incorporates an 8.1-megapixel CCD and 2.5-inch display, while the TZ5 uses a 9.1-megapixel CCD and 3-inch display. The latter also supports 1280x720 30 frames-per-second movie capture.

Color choices for the $299.95 TZ4 are silver or black, while the $349.95 TZ5 will come in silver, black, and blue. Both cameras are scheduled to ship in March.

    Summary: It's a bit of a shame that even at this price, neither camera offers manual exposure or support for shooting Raw images. Nevertheless, both cameras are worthy upgrades with good images and an otherwise healthy dose of features. The better screen and ...

    Summary: If it pushes the limits of what could be termed "pocket sized," the latest Lumix still packs quite a punch for its size where features are concerned. While it generally embraces the performance-focused philosophy that underpins most of Panasonic's ...
