Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ5 video tour

We're pleased to present a short video tour of the Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ5. This demonstrates the TZ5's design, controls, coverage, image stabilisation and menu system.

There's no need to download any new software - just press the play button in the middle of the screen below and wait for the video to start; you may need to press the button twice. The quality and any delay before playing may vary depending on your internet connection.

If the video says unavailable, please try again later - this is due to YouTube maintenance.




Panasonic TZ5 - dual display Panasonic TZ5 - screen Panasonic TZ5 - multi aspect ratio


Good points
10x optical zoom with 28mm and stabilisation.
Large detailed 3in screen with 460k pixels.
HD movies and zooming when filming.
Uncannily good automatic mode.

Bad points
Noise becomes a problem above 200 ISO.
Little or no manual control.
HD movies still no match for a camcorder.
Extra screen detail only seen in playback.
