Panasonic DMC-TZ6 Reviews: Lumix Digital Compact Camera

+ The Zoom, optical & digital enhancement.
The ability to automatically select the setting to suit the picture you want to take.

- The dial can get nudged onto the wrong setting easily unintentionally.

+ Not only does the Panasonic look great but it really delivers in terms of picture quality and ease of use. The viewiing screen is really clear and the features are easy to find (without even reading the manual).

- Sometimes when I put my camera back into it's case the off switch turns to on, so it would be good to have a more positive off switch or way of locking the camera once it has been switched off.

+ Easy to use for every day use.

- Slips of automatic very easily, however, camera lets you know

+ Camera is exactly what I wanted, and the memory card is good

- The case, the camera is a tight squeeze into this case and it seems bulky. Keep undoing the Velcro to get at the camera, which is in the zip pocket, very annoying.

+ Light weight and ease of handling. Good size of display coupled with sharp images and information.
Wide angle lens coupled with zoom range is excellent for landscape photography.
The operating instructions are very explicit and comprehensive. These comments are initial impressions due to lack of time for operational experience.

- Digital display can be difficult to use in bright sunlight. Absence of optical viewfinder makes this critical under
certain conditions.
The Mode dial is too easily moved inadvertantly and would benefit from being slightly stiffer to operate.

+ Very easy to get first class pictures even if. like me, you are not a camera buff.

- There are a lot of, opyions programmed into the camera, but it is not alweays obvious how to utilise them quickly and consulting ther handbook takes quite a long time because it dodges from one page to another to complete a process.

+ Compact size, great zoom feature and standard wide angle gives nice panoramic outdoors shots. Video quality ok for playback on a PC monitor. Sound quality very good for a compact unit. Brought this for a holiday in Norway to capture the views and not dissapointed with the results. Still finding out how to use all the fancy modes but the intelligent auto does a good job if your in a hurry and just want to capture the moment.

- mode dial turns itself round as noted by most reviews

+ easy to use, combines both camera and video. slow for quick shooting.

- slow shutter speed, bit difficult to constantly shoot - auto focus sometimes means due to time delay,subject moves whilst focusing!

+ wide angle lense, best make of lense you can get, settings for all sorts such as beaches, starry sky etc. amazing zoom n focus. etc etc etc

- like most compact cameras its hard to get a really good night time photos without using the flash but not a big problem, i still need to learn more about the camera
