The 25mm wide angle end of the zoom range makes this an ideal travel camera. The 300mm end is not bad
But even with the optical image stabilisation it is hard to get ultimate sharpness at this focal length. Exposure
Focus and resolution are good and ...
Big lens
Lovely bokeh effect
Great for macros
Built-in GPS
Dedicated exposure button
Full manual controls. GPS tagging. AVCHD Lite recording. HDMI out. Solid build
The editors didn't like
There is no printed instruction manual – it is in pdf form on the accompanying disc. This is ridiculous for a camera with a full set of user functions. The printed “Basic Operating Instructions” seem to assume that the average customer c...
Images look soft
Images get noisy above ISO 200
Maximum aperture of only f/6.3
Screen could be higher resolution. No RAW capture. Expensive
Despite the softness of its images and the poor definition when you examine the photos closely, the LUMIX DMC-TZ10 is a much better camera than the DMC-TZ8 and the inclusion of a GPS device makes it an even better proposition for travellers than previ...
The long-zoom area in the compact camera market is a keenly contested marketplace. With the the Canon SX20 IS, Fujifilm Finepix F80 EXR, Casio EX-FH100 and Ricoh CX3 among the strong offerings on show, the TZ10 has some tough competition.Rising to the ...
Abstract: These days, it seems like ever other compact camera has a 10x or 20x zoom, but this wasn’t always the case. The term "travel zoom" is less than five years old, and this entire class of camera owes its name -- and arguably its existence -- to the origin...
Confusing and dubious zoom modes; some unexpected purple fringing
The Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ10 is a great camera, but its new 'intelligent' image processing isn't especially convincing, and the 'intelligent zoom' and 'extra optical zoom' are an insult to the intelligence. The GPS and manual exposure modes are import...
Excellent image quality and beautifully built, but the poor battery life is a real deal breaker and renders the GPS as a bit of a nuisance rather than anything useful...
Abstract: The Panasonic Lumix DMC TZ10 is an excellent choice for holidaymakers and tourists. It has 12 megapixels and a 12x wide angle zoom lens packed into a relatively small body. When shooting at lower resolutions you can increase the zoom available up to a...
Pluses, Good quality photos up to 400 ISO, Priority modes and autofocus that follows the subject, Powerul optical stabilisation, 720p HD video, with stereo sound, optical zoom and builtin HDMI, Great 12x zoom in a small camera
Minuses, Struggles with higher sensitivities. Who needs 14 Megapixels?, Onscreen interface looks a little outdated, Disappointing i.Zoom mode, Proprietrary USB connection, GPS burns through the battery quickly
I really enjoyed using the Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ10. As a compact camera there are a few areas where it is compromised compared to a DSLR. It also has a smaller sensor than cameras like the Canon PowerShot G11, although this is the reason that a 12x fo...
