Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ1

And here is another top rated digital camera just about to be released on May 1st., 2006 : The top rated Panasonic Lumix DMCTZ1K 5 MegapixelDigital Camera with 10x Optical Zoom, MEGA Optical Image Stabilizer & HighSensitivity Mode (Black)ASlim 10x Optical Zoom Using a Unique Prism - LEICA DC VARIO-ELMARIT LENS. The world’s first integration of retractive lens withfolded optics technology allows the zooming to occur horizontally within thecamera. This makes it possible to pack a powerful 10x optical zoom (equivalentto a big 35 to 350mm lens on a 35mm camera) into a compact camera. The ExtendedOptical Zoom function, which magnifies the image with minimal deterioration byusing the center part of the high-resolution CCD, boosts the zoom power to amaximum 12.5x.Crisp,Clear Shots of Moving SubjectsThe Venus Engine III provides a high sensitivityISO 800 setting that captures images with minimal noise at full resolution. Thehigher ISO setting lets you use higher shutter speeds to minimize the motionblur that can occur when you’re shooting a moving subject, particularly in dimlighting. Even indoors, you can get crisp, clear, beautiful shots of children,pets and other subjects that won’t hold still.Taking Hand Movement Outof the Picturewith MEGA Optical Image StabilizationAll of us have taken a shot that we thought was focused perfectly, only to haveit turn out blurry. The most common cause of this is hand movement. Digitalcameras are wonderfully light and compact — but for the same reason they canalso be hard to hold still. Even pressing the shutter button can cause thecamera to move. And most people use the LCD monitor (with arms outstretched)toframe a shot — great for getting the shot you want, but most likely adds to thelikelihood of hand movement. Basically, hand movement is a real concern anytimeyou’re taking a handheld telephoto shot, macro shot or self-portrait, or whenshooting at night or in dim lighting.The answer to the hand movement problem? Anadvanced optical image stabilizing system that we call MEGA Optical ImageStabilization. This system uses built-in gyrose.
