| Product DescriptionNow you can fit sweeping landscapes into a single frame with the 28mm wide-angle setting. Pull in subjects from far away to capture even subtle facial expressions with the dynamic 280mm telephoto setting. Ideal for traveling, Panasonic's DMC-TZ4 Lumix 8.1-megapixel digital camera combines a wide-ranging LEICA DC Vario-Elmar lens with a handy, compact body. The Extra Optical Zoom function also extends the zoom to as much as 15.9x, giving you even greater telephoto power. Set the TZ4 to iA mode and let the five Intelligent Auto functions team up to help prevent shooting errors. Intelligent Exposure corrects lighting differences, so images come out just the way you see them; Intelligent Scene Selector chooses the mode that best fits the situation; MEGA Optical Image Stabilization helps prevent blurring from hand-shake; Intelligent ISO Control helps prevent motion blur; and Face Detection helps produce clear portraits by optimizing the focus and exposure settings.

Great Camera
I'm very happy with this camera. It was the most megapixels and zoom that I could find for this price. My pictures have come out great and it is easy to use. |  | Reviewed on 2008-07-18 
Panasonic TZ4S
I own a Panasonic LZ3 5MP far superior to the TZ4S. So I thought I would upgrade to 8MP and 10optical zoom instead of the 6X optical zoom. I will definitely return this camera. Ugh! Like the earlier reviewer said great stats poor camera. Controls are a little sharp with rough edges for starters. Secondly, the offset placement of the lens leaves no room to place your fingers to steady the camera. Forget the other reviews and this camera as it is very poor. Leica lens you say.. if you have to put your fingers over it to steady camera where is the rub... | | Reviewed on 2008-06-17
Great Point & Shoot without loosing quality.
I previously had a much larger Fuji that seemed to always take blurry pics. I wanted to keep the amount of zoom and have a much more compact camera and get a perfect picture quality that my Fuji lacked. I've only had this camera one week but have taken many different pics in many different lighting/places. These include baseball game, restaurants, work/office, home (& others' homes) and just driving down the road. I have to say this totally meets my requirements for easy to use and still GREAT quality photos. I would definitely recommend this for someone looking for the same in a compact package. I did note this is heavier than it looks (not too heavy) but I'm sure that is b/c the good quality parts. Buy this camera!! | | Reviewed on 2008-06-14
Tempting specs; bad product! Really bad.
It looks great on paper - wide angle Leica lens, 10x zoom, 8.1MP, wide screen modes, image stabilization. What a disappointment though.
1. Pictures come out grainy (noisy). And it is VERY obvious; you don't have to use a magnifier to see it.
2. Bad performance in low light.
3. The camera stopped working within minutes of receiving it. Kept displaying message "shutdown camera and start it again" - but to no avail.
4. Somewhat bulky for a compact.
I'll stick with Canon thank you.
(This review is for the product. Amazon was GREAT with their no fuss return policy!) | | Reviewed on 2008-06-08
One Pretty Good Camera.
Thus far, this has been one very good camera! It is easy to use. I have taken some very good pictures of sports events, dimly lit indoor events, and even a self-portrait. It seems to be just the right camera for point-and-shoot, amateur photographers such as myself. Since I'm not a serious photographer, I can not attest to the specific perks of owning this camera. Yet, I would suggest this camera to a friend. | |
