Looking for one of the best compact Digital Camera's money can
buy? Then this award Winning TZ10 from Lumix could be the perfect
thing for you.
There is a list of the specifications that this camera has but
I'll try to get to the most important ones here. It has what Lumix
call 'super zoom', an intelligent auto mode and an optical image
stabiliser. I think all this basically just means that if you zoom
in and take a picture it will still be clear unlike other camera's
where the image becomes blurred and the resolution drops
dramatically. It has an impressive 12.1 Mega pixels and a 25mm
Wide-angle 12x optical zoom with LEICA DC lens. It also has
'Intelligent resolution technology' and 16 x intelligent zoom. It
can also record HD movies in AVCHD lite, and with the camera having
HDMI and Viera television link technology it means you can hook the
camera up to your TV and watch your videos straight away without a
computer. One other little touch that I find quite appealing is
that the travel mode has a GPS system built in to it which
organises all the snaps you take on your holiday for you in terms
of what day of your holiday they were taken on and where you
were.
On Amazon.co.uk the camera receives an average customer rating
of 4.5 stars and 194 out of the 269 customers who bought the
product and left their own review gave it 5 stars with the majority
of the rest being 4 and 3 stars. Some of the customers who gave
lesser ratings commented on things such as the picture quality.
They said it was not as good as they expected. It is possible that
these people are experienced photographers and are use to using
excessively expensive SLR cameras. You need to remember that
although this camera has an impressive resolution it is still a
digital camera. Remember that and you'll be very impressed with the
results that you get from it. Other customers commented on a dust
problem with the lens. Apparently if the lens gets dust on it you
need to get it cleaned otherwise the pictures you take will be
blotchy, this can cost up to £50. However if your careful and use a
case and so on it should be fine.
For the price of £179.99, a 48% reduction from the recommended
retail price of £349.00, this camera makes itself very hard to turn
down. You get a lot for your money so buy now before they sell
out.
