Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ5K 9MP Digital Camera with 10x Wide Angle MEGA Optical Image Stabilized Zoom (Black)
Customer Review: Fine camera, but some ease-of-use issues
Summary: 3 Stars
The camera takes quality photos, but I'm quite disappointed in two areas. First, the "flash" button is not apparent to users, especially first-time users. A silver icon on silver background was a poor choice of engineering here; people who use our camera always have trouble finding the flash. It's a shame such a simple task is so hard.
Also, there is not a simple way to transfer pictures from the camera to a PC. Oh sure, there is a cord that allows the connection, but it does not appear to be any type of standard USB or mini-USB cable. If you lose it, you cannot just use a standard USB that you probably own for your other devices. A bluetooth option or a standard USB connection would have made this review much more positive.
Overall, the camera is just okay. These two poor choices of implementing basic features are a two-star deduction.

Description of Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ5K 9MP Digital Camera with 10x Wide Angle MEGA Optical Image Stabilized Zoom (Black)
Now you can fit sweeping landscapes into a single frame with the 28mm wide-angle setting. Pull in subjects from far away to capture even subtle facial expressions with the dynamic 280mm telephoto setting. Ideal for traveling, the DMC-TZ5 Lumix 9.1-megapixel digital camera combines a wide-ranging LEICA DC Vario-Elmar lens with a handy, compact body. The Extra Optical Zoom function also extends the zoom to as much as 16.9x, giving you even greater telephoto power. Set the TZ5 to iA mode and let the five Intelligent Auto functions team up to help prevent shooting errors. Intelligent Exposure corrects lighting differences, so images come out just the way you see them; Intelligent Scene Selector chooses the mode that best fits the situation; MEGA Optical Image Stabilization helps prevent blurring from hand-shake; Intelligent ISO Control helps prevent motion blur; and Face Detection helps produce clear portraits by optimizing the focus and exposure settings. The TZ5 can record motion images with sensational 1280 x 720 HD resolution at 30 frames per second (fps). f=4.6-46mm (35mm equiv - 28-280mm) Focal Length 3.0 Diagonal Polycrystalline TFT LCD Display (460K dots) Focusing Area Normal - Wide 50cm/Tele 200cm - infinity, Macro/Intelligent AUTO / Clipboard - Wide 5cm / Max 200cm / Tele 100cm - infinity 8 - 1/2,000 sec.
