Panasonic Lumix TZ1 Review
Posted on 2006-10-13 00:47:02 by LSDsmurfAs already mentioned, the TZ1 has the Venus Engine III as its image processor. Colours are quite vibrant, although the yellows can look a bit garish - you can change the saturation easily in-camera to fix this. Noise is higher than we would expect - even at ISO 80 there is visible noise in the shadows and once you get over ISO 200 you can really forget about printing large pictures. The Venus engine's “High Sensitivity” mode helps a little but this is prone to produce smearing where the noise used to be - it would be much better if the sensor produced less noise for it to deal with. Metering works quite well on the whole, even on tricky scenes, but backlighting can trick it into over-exposure making the pictures appear misty.
