New camera: Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ5
So I finally have a new camera after cracking the LCD on my last Canon point and click.
I’m excited to use it during my golf outings and Cubs games! There reason why I chose this camera is the features that it boasts. Panasonic isn’t as well known as Canon for digital point and clicks. I was actually looking specifically at Canons only and I was thinking of purchasing the SD1100 IS.
I then stumbled onto the Panasonic TZ5 series. After reading through the features list, I was amazed.
- 10X optical zoom. Most cameras only supports up to 4X optical zoom and the rest digital. I never ever use the digital zoom.
- 28mm wide-angle lens.
- the ability to shoot 720p HD video resolution with 30fps.
The rest of the features are pretty standard on today’s cameras like Image Stabilization and a huge LCD screen. I’ll play with it more and let you know what I think of it. For now, you can view image and video samples on Steve’s Digicams.
There are no comments made so far.
