great zoom with ois

Jan 12, 2007

Rating: 8 out of 10 (Excellent)
Pros: handy
Cons: big and heavy
Opinion:
if you are willing to close an eye of the 5.0 mega pixels, go for this camera if you want a camera with great zoom.

digital zoom up to 40x
if u try to stabilize yr hand, it will nt gives you blur image.

although not a wide angle, but it is close to it already.

great feeling holding it beside of the weight.

 

Awesome zoom for its size

Rating: 9 out of 10 (Spectacular)

Brilliant advanced point-and-shoot camera

Rating: 9 out of 10 (Spectacular)
Pros: Great 10x optical zoom with optical image stabilization, quality Leica lenses, compact size
Cons: Nothing worth mentioning
Opinion:
People need to remember this is an advanced point-and-shoot camera, designed for happy snappers and perhaps photo enthusiasts, not professionals.

When you look at it in this context, this camera is brilliant - crisp images, great auto focus, image stabilization that works, 5MP of sensor, accurate metering, a very impressive 10 optical zoom plus digital zoom, etc etc. And compact enough to slip into a small pouch and wear on your belt.

I've had enough of lugging heavy SLRs and lenses - with this camera, you dont miss a photo opportunity. The only compact digital that comes close is the brilliant Canon S3IS, but that camera is getting chunky in comparison. The TZI is SO easy to carry, and you don't really miss the manual settings - the choice of inbuilt exposure modes give you enough lattitude, once you've learnt them. (Maybe the TZ2 will have shutter and aperture priority settings?) Anyhow, this is a terrific camera ... Read more

Opinion:
A very good photo quality, great movie mode, bright LCD, very good O.I.S and lenses, very good AF capabilyties. All that in a medium compact camera.

 

noise an issue?

Jul 9, 2006

Rating: 8 out of 10 (Excellent)
Pros: smallest 10x anti-shake camera
Cons: noise
Opinion:
Since there's no digital camera forum, I hope I can pose some questions here. Is noise a significant issue with this camera? Is noise a significant issue with most Lumix? Thanks.
