Exactly as described. Camera works very well. It was super easy to use right out of the box. I did not have to read instructions on any of it and was using it within minutes. The camera doesn't keep a charge for as long as I would like, but that's to be expected for a camera this age. I think I will replace the battery, but other than that, I really like this camera a lot.

It is used and although everything seems to work it has some issues. When you want to view pictures you have taken you can't go through them without long time delays. I also took some pic's and several in the middle of a series did not save. Error reported that there was a problem with the SD Card. Turned the camera off then on and retook the pics. saved the second time

This camera is the photographic equivalent of an all terrain ski. It has traveled with me to ski, tour Europe, ziplining in the rain, and with the underwater housing, been diving. This versatility comes with a price, but overall Panasonic has done a fine job. In the bright sun, this camera is superb and good in low light. As with most cameras today, the chips have too many pixels. This means that you get noisy images and lens aberrations because you cannot stopdown the lens iris or you go past the resolving power of the lens. This is a general complaint, not a fault with this camera specifically. This rugged camera's sharp lens' zoom range is excellent, the anti shake is useful, the flash is good, and the intelligent auto feature is excellent. Expect bright, colorful images and decent HD video. This camera and its Canon competitor represent a real breakthrough for the casual photographer and a great addition to the "prosumer's" arsenal.Read full review
Im happy because its my first camera but a little dissapointed because it havent manual operation. Its too automatic. Perfect size, perfect weight, nice desing, impresive look specially when you use the 10x zoom because the lens grows up. The image stabilizer doesnt mean much help to your photos. Its the same if you put this option on or off. It has face recognition but i can live without it. Excellent battery. The bads: When you take a picture with low light you get too much noise with high ISO. The good: Fast, excellent zoom and good auto configurations.
I already have several cameras, one Digital DSLR and one SLR amongst them, several lens etc. etc. When yow just go for a walk, DSLR is too heavy for bear, especially when you plan to go 25-30 kilometers - then TZ5 is that camera you should see at. It is fairly small and light, have great zoom range - 28mm is near perfect for wide photos and 280 is very impressive for tele. When I've choosen for small light camera for an every day bag bearing, I've seen many reviews and many photos. Panasonic TZ3 was beaten by new Venus IV processor, which leaves more information on the screen and does not such agressive noise killer. Nice feature - HD video. Canon SX100 is too big and have too smearing photos, thanks to overdo in noise killing. Pros: Compact All metall body No lens cap OK image quality, especially when ISO 100, NATURAL settings, then downsized by Lanzsosh filter to 6 megapixels. 9 megapixels, be sure, too much for such a tiny sensor, but 6 is OK. Great focal ranges - 28-280. Excelent display - big and bright. Good usability. OK battery. Snappy autofocus. Contras: Hardly usable 400 ISO, but downsized to 5MP OK. Unusable 800+ ISO. Why marketing people sell megapixels and ISO. No manual controls. Very unimpressive Macro.Read full review
