Panasonics Lumix DMC-TZ1 is a 5 megapixel compact camera with a difference: underneath its relatively plain-looking exterior hides a massive 10x optical zoom lens. Until now, if youd wanted this kind of optical range, youd need to have carried aroun...

The Panasonic DMC-TZ1 is a 5 megapixel compact camera with a 10x Leica optical zoom with image stabilisation. The focal length range of the lens is 35 to 350mm in film terms. Panasonic boast that the TZ1 is a camera with ?high sensitivity mode? with I...

The Leica lens is optically excellent with effective vibration reduction. Resolution is very good for a 5 megapixel camera. Skin tones at low ISO speeds are especially agreeable. Controls are logical and well placed. The TZ1 is a pleasant camera in the...
The picture noise at medium to high ISO settings is characteristic of Panasonic cameras. The “high sensitivity mode” at ISO1600 has aggressive noise reduction activated and it not only removes noise but in the process eliminates surface detail...
The Panasonic DMC-TZ1 is a good camera that boasts of more than it can deliver. The lens, image stabilisation and useability are very good and the zoom range is a marvel in such a compact body. In real life ISO200 must be regarded as its top speed. If...

The TZ1 is a hard camera to pigeon-hole into one category. Its a high zoom camera like a bridge camera but doesnt have the large and chunky body like others in that family. At the same time you can hardly call the TZ1 a compact, being a bit too wide...

This Coolpix camera has a 36-126mm equivalent f/2.7-5.3 zoom with wide apertures at short zoom settings for faster shutter speeds. Surprisingly, the highest ISO level is only 400. Hence, this would not be the best choice for someone who wants to shoot...

When introduced back in February, the was the world's smallest 10x optical zoom camera. It has since lost that title to the Kodak Easyshare V610. However, it's still very compact and the benefit of Panasonic's MEGA O.I.S. (optical image stabilizatio...

Bottom line, the Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ1 is a joy to use, but with a few downsides. It's an easy to use camera and has a nice 10x optical zoom with image stabilization, especially given its size. A nice set of scene modes provides plenty of options fo...

The DMC-TZ1, announced in February 2006, takes the successful big zoom formula established with the FZ series of cameras and squeezes it into a much more compact body. The result is the worlds smallest optically stabilized 10x zoom camera (on a techn...
