Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ1 Review

Posted on 2007-02-08 19:24:39 by Thomas De Maesschalck

The Panasonic TZ1 digital camera is based around a 5 megapixel imager coupled to a prism-folded (and Leica-branded) 10x optical zoom lens with MEGA O.I.S. image stabilization. With effective focal lengths from 35 to 350mm, the DC Vario-Elmarit lens offers from a moderate wide-angle to a very useful telephoto -- impressive given that the camera still remains fairly pocket-friendly. ISO sensitivity ranges from 80 to 800, with the option to extend this to ISO 1,600 in high sensitivity mode. Images can be previewed, or reviewed on a 2.5 inch LCD display with a higher than average resolution of 207,000 pixels. Unfortunately (but perhaps not surprisingly, given the range of the lens) there's no optical viewfinder..
