Panasonic TZ4

Compact and solid design ; Good feature set ; Takes great pictures

It's tempting to opt for it's slightly more expensive sibling, the TZ5

The TZ4 offers the best of both worlds in a camera that can take on practically any task you throw at it and still slide back into your pocket when you’ve finished. Unless you absolutely have to have a super-slim body or advanced PASM exposure modes,...

ideal for everyday use if you're a snapper but also has features for those wishing to develop photography skills. Powersaving device for those of us that forget to switch it off!

A little bulky but a trade-off with the zoom lens facility

Nice Build, Good Battery & Lens Quality. Superb zoom and easy to use. High speed Burst function very useful.

No Designated "indoor" mode for high resolution indoor shots but modes for every other possible scenario some unlikely to ever be needed or are too similar to each other.

Pointing & shooting is a breeze. The image stabilisation is the main reason I bought this, though. Picture quality is fine (much as I'd expect from a Lumix).

Not the most user-friendly of instruction books - sometimes a product can do too much!

Small and light enough to fit in your pocket and yet extremely versatile with the 10 times zoom facility. The perfect camera for everyday use.

The tripod fitting point is at one end of the camera. Consequently when trying to use it with my mini tripod, the camera easily topples over.

Big screen, fantastic zoom.

None so far.

lovely camera, with long battery life

its start ready to go time is great, battery life after being charged is good, its automatic function works well with the automatic red eye and portrait auto settings. its good all round a lot better than our last camera.

we liked the function on our last camera that you could leave the date showing on the picture if you wanted, we cant do that on this camera, and the price of a tailored fitting case.

Absolutely fantastic
