 Panasonic Lumix DMC TZ1 review at DigiCamReview : Our friend Joshua Waller from DigiCamReview has published his Panasonic Lumix TZ1 digital compact Megazoom camera. The powerful 10x optical zoom Leica DC lens is incorporated into a compact, easy-to-carry body, made possible by the world’s first example of the integration of a retractable lens system with folded optics technology. The Panasonic Lumix TZ1, of course, features Mega O.I.S. (Optical Image Stabilizer), which has now become a standard feature for all digital cameras in the market. The Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ1 digital camera has an intuitively bright 2.5 inch large, high resolution (207.000 pixels) LCD which offers clear and easy viewing.

 Panasonic TZ1 - Ergonomics
According to Joshua Waller: "The buttons are fairly easy to use, and they are in a good position and in easy reach for using the camera with one hand. There seems to be the right amount of buttons. The buttons feel okay; the shutter release is quite decent. The buttons are labelled fairly well. I thought the camera felt very good ergonomically, and was the correct weight. The hand grip seemed good, with a decent sized front grip and a decent sized thumb grip on the back."
Panasonic Lumix TZ1 review - Operation
Joshua continues: "The camera is easy to use, the menu system is easy to use and there is a good layout of buttons and controls. There is a good choice of features and options although the majority are aimed at beginners, rather than experts, however there are manual white balance, a live histogram, and high speed shooting. The camera speed is good, with a good switch on time, good focusing time, good shutter response, and a fast continuous shooting mode."
Panasonic Lumix DMC TZ1 - Image quality
"Image quality is very good, the images have good colour (rich colours, highly saturated), with good contrast and generally good detail, although noise is high and detail is lost when ISO settings are increased. Images were slightly softer than I would have liked, however isn't a major problem. Best results were achieved outside on sunny days, but inside noise were noticeably high. Purple fringing was quite low unless the full zoom was used, and red-eye was not a problem," concludes Joshua. You want to learn more about the Panasonic Lumix digital camera?
