Summary: Got LIGHT?
Comment: This Camera is Certaintly not the "Low Light KIng of Compact Digit Cameras. HOwever, relating back to my title, Got Light? Well if you have Light shinning on your Subject or Background, then you can get Pretty good shoots out of this Revelutionary Camera. The OIS system and Extra long Zoom should be your Main reason and deciding factor for purchasing this Outstanding Camera. I do not recommend purchasing this Camera for Outstanding picture qualty. I myself won't be too "fussy" with the Image Qualty for the simple fact that I purchased this gem at Ritz Camera on Clearance for[...]. This camera could have better audio but having mono tone audio is better then no audio at all on a Camera. Digital Cameras have come a Long way since thier First release on the market. This Panasonic Camera definatly proves that.

Summary: Amazing
Comment: I have had this camera for almost 3 years now and I have put it through hell. I am in the military, I take it snow boarding, have dropped it repeatedly, taken it camping, you name it. It really is the most amazing camera on earth. I have had 3 other digital camera's and have used many more and this one is the best. I guarantee you will not be disappointed with this camera. Incredible picture quality, decent zoom, large picture display, extremely fast start up time, and the rechargeable battery lasts "FOREVER" on one charge, and even the most electronic illiterate person will have no problem using it.

Summary: I should have upgraded far sooner!
Comment: I love this camera! I had an old Sony Cybershot before, and it can't even hold a candle to Lumix's image stability, clarity, LOVELY Leica lens, and well, just about EVERYTHING this camera has to offer. Incredibly quick picture response, variety of modes to choose from, and just amazing! Hah, even the USB cable from my old Sony fits into the same slot as my Lumix :) And, I don't have to buy some rip-off "special" memory card that only fits Panasonic (I spent 50 dollars on a 1GB card for my Sony... So convenient that the 'special' Sony memory card cost 3x as much as regular 1GB memory cards...) I LOVE this camera! :)

Summary: Sync problem between flash and shutter
Comment: I own this camera since september2 2006, works just fine until less than a year after I got it starts to work all wrong when flash is used.
At outdoors is exceptional, great pictures when the light is good.
Bad really dark and black pictures at indoors when the place has low light. The flash forced on, and still the pictures came dark, because the flash shut way before the lens, a syncronization problem. And it's a pity because I was really pleased with it. But now I'm very dissapointed and I want to buy another camera because I can't trust the DMC-TZ1 anymore at nights or indoor situations, and I don't want to have a camera I can use just in some situations when daylight or good light is on.

Summary: Great simple camera
Comment: Bought this camera a couple of years ago and it is still working well. Great picture quality and so very easy to use. Will have an occasional slightly blurry pic, but for a simple to use camera I would def recommend.

Editorial Review for Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ1S 5MP Compact Digital Camera with 10x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom (Silver):
The world's first integration of retractive lens with folded optics technology allows the zooming to occur horizontally within the camera. This makes it possible to pack a powerful 10x optical zoom (equivalent to a big 35 to 350mm lens on a 35mm camera) into a compact camera. The Extended Optical Zoom function, which magnifies the image with minimal deterioration by using the center part of the high-resolution CCD, boosts the zoom power to a maximum 12.5x2.The Venus Engine III provides a high sensitivity ISO 800 setting that captures images with minimal noise at full resolution. The higher ISO setting lets you use higher shutter speeds to minimize the motion blur that can occur when you're shooting a moving subject, particularly in dim lighting. Even indoors, you can get crisp, clear, beautiful shots of children, pets and other subjects that won't hold still.Choose from several auto focus modes - spot, 1-point (normal or high-speed), 3-point high-speed, and 9-point - to suit the scene you're shooting. The DMC-TZ1 also introduces a new Linear AF system, which has resulted in the achievement of an industry-leading fast auto focusing time. Not only the speed but also the noise of the motor is reduced and even the zooming while recording motion image is possible. Combined with a startup time of merely 0.95 seconds, this fast focusing lets you catch every shooting opportunity. Plus, the AF Assist Lamp helps when focusing in dimly lit places.Thanks to the Venus Engine III, the DMC-TZ1 has a release time lag as low as 0.006 seconds. The DMC-TZ1 can also fire off consecutive shots at a swift 3 frames per second, and offers Unlimited Consecutive Shooting, so you can keep shooting until the SD Memory Card or built-in memory is full.
