Image Quality

The dynamic range on TZ15 is impressive. In a high-contrast image, the shooter managed to generate an image rich in details without blowing the highlights or blotching the shadows.

We can probably credit the new Venus IV image-processing engine for producing relatively clean images even at high ISO sensitivity. At ISO 800, we detected a slight hint of noise in the darker region. The image got a tad blotchy when we further increased the ISO to 1,600, but was still acceptable for making prints smaller than A4 size.

White balance was also accurate under different lighting conditions. The automatic white balance managed to detect a mixture of candlelight and tinge of fluorescent lamp, producing accurate colors.

The camera comes with two night scene modes--Starry sky and Night landscape. The former will automatically set the ISO to 100 and let you choose an exposure time (15, 30 or 60 seconds). This mode gave us a noise-free image of a night scene, which is usually quite rare in a compact camera.
