 Great little zoom camera September 4, 2008
I purchased this camera for my wife to use on a trip to Africa because of its zoom capability. Detail and color on pics was right on (set to bright mode). Once you learn to use all of the features (of which there are many) it is a gem! Only down side was the lack of a viewfinder. When in bright light it was hard to see image on the screen and at max zoom, hard to compose picture and hold the camera steady.
 Best features, worst picture quality! September 3, 2008

Best features:
Wide angle, 10x+ zoom, HD video recording, best screen resolution.
Worst picture quality:
In comparison to my old Canon and Casio, the picture quality is the worst especially under low light. Video quality is poor also. It is only OK under bright daylight.
I bought this because of the nice features but unaware the picture quality is so poor. Beware!
BTW, I have the latest firmware installed.
 Great option for the price and 10x ZOOM! September 3, 2008
My cousin recommended this camera to me. It's great! for the price and options and easy to use. I am impressed with 10x zoom, dial options can be preset to specific scene, large LCD - 3", battery life is good and it is still fitting your pocket.
Perfect for Real Estate agents! September 2, 2008
It's wide angle lens and small size make it a perfect choice for Real Estate photo's. Interior shots are so difficult to convey the size and openess of even large rooms, and I had to retake shots of all listings after I saw what it can do. The zoom lens allows me to frame the shot, eliminating unwanted background images without changing positions. I haven't taken the camera off intelligent automatic yet, don't see a need to. Just the best camera on the market for my purposes after researching and trying them all. Get the extra battery and the leather Panasonic case with it.
Best camera ever had September 2, 2008
I was looking to buy a nice, easy to handle, good price camera, and after reading a lot of reviews (eg: http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/panasonictz5/ http://www.dcresource.com/buyersguide/), I decided to buy this one. I originally planned to buy the Olympus Stylus 1030SW, then the stylus 1020, but I bought the Panasonic because:
It did fit the 8GB MicroSD card I already had without any problem.
Great video.(Hi def)
Great Zoom. ( 10x)
Size,
Easy to handle(lots of scene settings ready to use)
I also bought the underwater Housing, and after testing it, I was more than satisfied. I think I am still missing an underwater strobe for deep dives, but besides that, I am very pleased with my purchase.
