As was Achilles.......2007-06-19

This is not a bad camera--especially for indoor use--but it lacks an optical viewfinder, and the LCD is useless in sunlight. Certainly one can find a tree to stand under or hold a hat above the camera to put it in shade, etc., but usability is definitely this camera's weak suit.

Also, the cost of the camera is just the beginning: the lithium-ion batteries are expensive. The device also requires an SD card, which is a bit hard to justify from a consumer's point of view since SD protects media companies, not consumers, and the photos you take are your own. When this camera came out, SD was very expensive--more profit for Panasonic. Fortunately, more manufacturers have entered the market and prices aren't so bad.

Rather than buying this, I'd hunt around for something similar with a real viewfinder.

Wish I'd bought a Canon.......2007-06-19

After 10 months I've decided to sell my Panasonic DMC-TZ1. There are too many things I don't like about this camera--the noisy (grainy) photos, the slow USB 1.0 interface, and the fact that I can't hold onto the camera without my thumb changing settings. I had no problem dealing with the lens cap, and the larger size and weight were tolerable. I'm just not happy with the quality of the photos, and I'm going back to my old flame Canon.

Great Camera.......2007-06-11

I bought this camera for the 10X zoom, anti-shaking features. It takes great clear pictures in the dark and light.

I couldn't be happier and amazed with this camera........2007-06-10

First off I ordered from 'my_cybershops' and received it with 48 hours (from internet order to my front door), thank you for that. I am amazed at the ease of use and brillance/clarity of these photos. Straight out of the box its been a brease. I read all 128 customer comments (before purchasing) and the same 2 comments kept popping up: noise and lens cap. The past 3 nights I've been playing around with it from the inside, to out, well lit areas to dark. I haven't experienced any noises louder then the standard motorized camera. The lens cap truely isn't a problem. You take it off, you put it on. Your order comes along with a string to attach the lens and camera so it won't get lost. I could see there being a problem if your trying to catch a rushed spur of the moment photo and forget its on. In the break down they mention several preset modes for ease of use. There are 19 modes in all. The lithium battery so far has been great. The indicator charge has barely moved and like a cell phone it take very little time to charge. Best feature is definately the zoom! With this zoom you would expect the camera to easily be 4 times the size. I would definately refer this camera to every one I know.

A very fantastic camera. .......2007-06-02

I love this little thing. It travels with me wherever I go, and I use it often. At 5 mgp, you get crystal clear and sharp pictures. There's a bit of a learning curve when it comes to focusing in and out, but it isn't too bad and once you adjust to the camera, taking quick shots with this thing is easy.
My only complaint is that the camera is very easy to scratch - It's outer casing is very soft, and I scratched the paint on the first day.
5 out of 5, though. I love this sleek little thing.
