I had a panasonic luminix in the past. I love the zoom in a small camara. The pic quality is not always consistant. And theres a lag between shots

After 30 years of trying to find the perfect all around travel/family pic camera
this is it!
I have owned 12 film cameras 14 lenses amature to pro. Own 2 DSLR's EOS 10d and Rebel xt as well as a Kodak z730 and Panasonic dmc-fs5. This dmc-tz4 is the ONLY camera that you need in 90% of photo opportunities you will run across. The Leica 28-280mm lens is sharper than any Canon L series in production (well maybe equal to the $5,000 200mm f1.8). I tested it last week against the decent sigma 18-200mm on a rebet xt body and the tz4 is MUCH sharper at all focal lenghts and gives you great wide screen video. It even edges out my Canon 100-300 f5.6L and that lens in considered one of the sharpest ever in that range!
The only reccomendation if you do much enlarging is to download Neatimage, it's free
noise reduction software and gives images that smooth DSLR look.
Go buy one!!!
"Compact camera with a big hearted optics"

Replaced the TZ3 with this camera after a very good experience with the TZ3. Due to the higher price of the TZ5 opted for the TZ4 and believe i did not loose out on much.
The camera is very portable, though its not really a pocket friendly camera, but fits in perfect if you are wearing a denim.
Missed the larger screen that was there with the TZ3, as the 2.5" screen can be a bit small to one's liking, and its performance in bright sunlight is not that great. It also has a tendency to show a purple vertical line when shooting in bright sun.
The Intelligent Auto mode is pretty good, and is far better an option for most uses than using the screen modes or the limited manual mode. However the autofocus in auto mode is very slow even after the firmware upgrade, and can be very irritating when you miss the moment due to the delay. The work around is to select "Sport" mode, but here the flash is disabled and is not ideal for indoor use.
The pictures taken in daylight is superb, and is further enriched by the wide screen optics that makes it an ideal trip camera. Pictures of people in groups come out well, but when the number of people increase the faces get distorted. Landscapes and buildings come out superb, though the color reproduction is somewhat not natural (very noticeable when you take sunset/sunrise shots).
The biggest issues is that the indoor photos are not that great, specially in low light conditions. The flash can be overpowering for close proximity shots, but does a fair job for group photos. However indoor shots in low light without the flash are very grainy.
The superb zoom of 10X (extended to 15.9X when set to 3 mega pixel) is very useful and helps you takes some great photos. However the focus at maximum zoom is a bit slow and you need to plan your shots. A tripod is recommended as even with the great optical stabilization, its hard to keep the camera steady when shooting at full zoom.
The issue with indoor performance impacts the movie mode badly, as the videos even with decent light are dark and lacking in detail. However videos taken in daylight are pretty decent for a digital camera and is more than enough to share with friends and family :) However VGA or WVGA seems to be a bit small compared to the current cameras :( The ability to zoom while recording video is an asset, and is something you want in a camera once you use it. The zoom is rather slow in video mode to reduce the noise from the mechanics. The audio quality of recordings is rather poor and limited to mono.
One more feature i really missed over the TZ3 was the ability to use the single click context menu and change from normal to wide screen. With the TZ4 (and the TZ5) you have to select the menu option and navigate to change the form factor.
Overall its a decent buy with good quality photos in most cases, and the true wide screen optics makes it a wonderful trip camera. Add the superzoom it makes the camera truly useful for trips to get pictures and videos of items far away.

I shopped for awhile before buying this camera--I was happy when I found all the features I was hoping for in a moderately priced camera. I took it on vacation and found it easy to use, small enough to carry in my purse, and it takes great pictures. I kept it on the auto setting, and was able to get some great photos of birds and other wildlife--really, the photos were better than what I could see myself, plus great shots of friends even in less-than-ideal light settings. This is a great camera for someone who wants to take good pictures but isn't really into all the tech-y stuff--the camera does it all for you.
"GREAT camera."
