 Mediocre, not up to the hype. October 6, 2008

I have been looking for a point and shoot camera that would take decent pictures of my daughter's volleyball games inside a fairly well lit high school gym. My Canon SD750 failed miserably. Before purchasing my TZ5, I read up all the stuff about sensors and ISO settings and it seemed Sony had the best technology. Nope. It went back the same day. Tried a Kodak, it lasted fifteen minutes! The Olympus Stylus 1010 was useless in both the gym and a restaurant.
Finally I ponied up $300 and bought the TZ5. It can't take a decent shot in the gym of anything over eight feet away! Every picture is either filled with noise or blurry. Trying to use the zoom, anyone across the gym is unrecognizable.
I am beginning to wonder if I need to buy a D-SLR with an external flash.
Pretty sad.
The Panasonic Lumix TZ5 does not deliver. My wife's Canon SD400 takes as good of a picture if not better in most lighting situations. Great features, poor pictures.
I have had digital cameras for about ten years now and never saw such poor quality as the recent ones.

I am not a professional photographer by any stretch of the imagination, but I take a lot of photos, some of which I am paid for. I have had a point and shoot digital camera for years, and the Panasonic DMC-TX5 is the best I have ever used. It is my "always with me" camera. I also have an Olympus E500 DSLR that I use for special occasions. I was attracted to the TX5 because of the zoom capabilities, and I have not been disappointed. I would say the Olympus takes "better" pictures, but it is bigger, heavier, and definitely not a camera I want to lug with me everywhere. The high resolution and zoom capabilities, coupled with the price, make the TX5 a great value.

I've had this camera a month now. Have had only one other digital camera before, and it was/is a Panasonic DMC LZ2. Both purchases were because I rated Zoom ability most important. I loved the old camera, and I love this camera even more. The TZ5 focus's faster, has a WONDERFUL 3" monitor, is a bit smaller and seems to do everything better. It's a lot of camera for the money.

Bought it for mom and dad.
They found it very easy to operate.
10x optical zoom in a small package is amazing.
Have bought 2 Lumix products FZ15K and TZ5K and both have been very satisfactory.
 great for quick-snapshots-and-run October 2, 2008

Hmmm, since I have a Cannon, I guess that pretty much says something. Panasonic Lumix is not bad, I really like how it adjusts everything for you in a way that this is almost like a dummy-can-use camera. Really user-friendly. But since I need more freedom to adjust for shutter speed, flash, aperture...etc, this easy-to-use camera's features all of a sudden become an obstacle.
So if you're not a Canon user, that's great! This is a good start-up for new comers. If you are, I guess there's no need to buy this one.
