Huge 10x optical zoom for a compact, Optical Image Stabilisation, Good build quality, Widescreen videos with anamorphic TV output
Noise levels high even at low sensitivity, Little or no manual control, Smearing on High Sensitivity mode, Ultimate image quality beaten by some compacts
Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ1 verdict While the Lumix TZ1’s neither the slimmest nor sexiest compact on the market, it’s nothing short of remarkable to find a 10x optical zoom lens in there. The flexibility and convenience of having such a long reac...

10X optical zoom; optical image stabilization; cool flip-book movie mode.
No manual exposure controls; lots of noise in pictures taken at middle and high ISO levels; auto white balance produces warm shots under tungsten lighting.
With a big 10X zoom lens and optical image stabilization, Panasonics DMC-TZ1 looks enticing, but image-quality issues keep it from making the grade.

The Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ1 is a unique camera in a crowded market-place, thanks solely to its combination of a 10x zoom lens and compact dimensions. Using such a small camera with such a large zoom range opens up lots of photographic opportunities th...

Abstract: Claimed as the smallest 10x zoom digital camera on the market, Panasonics 5-megapixel DMC-TZ1 recently received the T.I.P.A. Award for the best Superzoom digital camera in Europe. Among the reasons cited for the win are the cameras Optical Image St...
The Leica lens is optically excellent with effective vibration reduction. Resolution is very good for a 5 megapixel camera. Skin tones at low ISO speeds are especially agreeable. Controls are logical and well placed. The TZ1 is a pleasant camera in the...
The picture noise at medium to high ISO settings is characteristic of Panasonic cameras. The “high sensitivity mode” at ISO1600 has aggressive noise reduction activated and it not only removes noise but in the process eliminates surface detail...
The Panasonic DMC-TZ1 is a good camera that boasts of more than it can deliver. The lens, image stabilisation and useability are very good and the zoom range is a marvel in such a compact body. In real life ISO200 must be regarded as its top speed. If ...
