Panasonic TZ5 ‘in a class of its own’
28 Aug 2008
The Panasonic TZ5 is an ideal companion for those looking for a travel camera, according to a new review.
Trusted Reviews notes that although there are a number of other compact cameras available that sport similar prices and specification - none can do both at the same time.
It states that the eight-megapixel Canon PowerShot SX100 IS is one model which competes with the Panasonic TZ5 on price and adds that the ten-megapixel Ricoh R8 does so in performance, but adds that Panasonic’s camera is a perfect blend of both.
“In fact the closest competitor is its own stablemate the TZ4, currently selling for around £150, but the TZ5’s larger 3.0-inch monitor and the extra megapixel of resolution are big selling points,” the site notes.
The reviewer goes on to note that having used the Panasonic TZ5 for a week, he has grown attached to its design and performance and adds that he will be hard-pushed to give it back.
Both the Panasonic TZ5 and its TZ4 sibling are available now from UKDigital Cameras.
