Product Description
Now you can fit sweeping landscapes into a single frame with the 28mm wide-angle setting. Pull in subjects from far away to capture even subtle facial expressions with the dynamic 280mm telephoto setting. Ideal for traveling, Panasonic's DMC-TZ4 Lumix 8.1-megapixel digital camera combines a wide-ranging LEICA DC Vario-Elmar lens with a handy, compact body. The Extra Optical Zoom function also extends the zoom to as much as 15.9x, giving you even greater telephoto power. Set the TZ4 to iA mode and let the five Intelligent Auto functions team up to help prevent shooting errors. Intelligent Exposure corrects lighting differences, so images come out just the way you see them; Intelligent Scene Selector chooses the mode that best fits the situation; MEGA Optical Image Stabilization helps prevent blurring from hand-shake; Intelligent ISO Control helps prevent motion blur; and Face Detection helps produce clear portraits by optimizing the focus and exposure settings. The Intelligent big bright 2.5" LCD adjusts brightness automatically as the ambient light level changes, so images are clear, bright and easy to see. f=4.6-46mm (35mm equiv - 28-280mm) Focal Length 2.5 Diagonal Polycrystalline TFT LCD Display (230K dots) Focusing Area Normal - Wide 50cm/Tele 200cm - infinity, Macro/Intelligent AUTO / Clipboard - Wide 5cm / Max 200cm / Tele 100cm - infinity 8 - 1/2,000 sec.

 This Is A Very Good Camera! July 25, 2008
After reading many reviews mainly from people who cant resist comparing this camera with a 700 dollar DSLR.
It is better than I was expecting.
The build quality is top notch. Good quality buttons, nice looking and still small enough to fit in a shirt pocket.
Several people gave this camera high marks but complained the indoor performance was lacking.
I am getting very good indoor results. The camera overall is very easy to use. With a little practice you should be taking nice photo's.
In movie mode this camera rivals my dedicated camcorder in most ways except in sound quality.
The sound recording with this camera is not so prominent that you hear every little sound. With my camcorder recording in stereo the sound is so prominent, that is it distracting.
I've been using a standard 2 gig SD card which seems to work good. I do think one of the faster write cards would be a good idea especially if your doing a lot of Video.
The video in highest quality mode does use some space. With a 2 gig SD card you will get about 20 minutes of video, which for me is all I've needed so far.
Bottom line I would recommend this camera. It does what Panasonic advertises it should do.
It takes great photo's and video, and seems to be a very high quality camera that should give good service.
So for the great price that Amazon is offering this camera for, I would say go for it.
I ordered this camera on Monday morning, and received it Thursday morning. Which is typical top notch service from Amazon.
One final thought, comparing this camera with the TZ5. The TZ4 is the best bang for the buck.
The TZ5 does offer a few extras, but I have a feeling you will find this camera very feature rich and probably all the camera you will need.

Very very good camera, I am very impressed. I purchased it for my girlfriend who originally had a canon sd1000 which she managed to drop after 2 months of owning it. However, it seems like it was a turn for the better. I am far more impressed with the features of this camera, the zoom is amazing and the scenery pre-sets are great as well. overall I would say it out performs the sd1000 in many areas. However there is one little disappointment and its the darkness of the pictures when using the AI features, but that can easily be overcome with the backlight setting. All in all, she is very happy with it and so am I so I decided to purchase the Z5 for myself. That will come with another review when I take a couple hundred pictures with it haha.
 Descent July 21, 2008
No frills, feels really solid, pretty compact for a 10x. But I think if I had to do it over I would get the TZ5K, the manual is annoying when it says it can do a certian function then has a * saying TZ5 only....
Great Little Camera July 20, 2008

I was looking for a camera small enough to fit into a pocket during kayaking expeditions or hikes but that still had more than a 3X zoom!! Hard to come by! This camera finally fit the bill and I couldn't be happier with it! The Intelligent Auto mode is amazing! I thought just AUTO was easy but this is even easier and more precise. The wide angle lens by Leica is also a plus and the 10X zoom allows me to take closer shots of wildlife I see on my outings. So far, I'm very happy with this camera. The price was incredibly reasonable as well!
