Now you can fit sweeping landscapes into a single frame with the 28mm wide-angle setting. Pull in subjects from far away to capture even subtle facial expressions with the dynamic 280mm telephoto setting. Ideal for traveling, Panasonic's DMC-TZ4 Lumix 8.1-megapixel digital camera combines a wide-ranging LEICA DC Vario-Elmar lens with a handy, compact body. The Extra Optical Zoom function also extends the zoom to as much as 15.9x, giving you even greater telephoto power. Set the TZ4 to iA mode and let the five Intelligent Auto functions team up to help prevent shooting errors. Intelligent Exposure corrects lighting differences, so images come out just the way you see them; Intelligent Scene Selector chooses the mode that best fits the situation; MEGA Optical Image Stabilization helps prevent blurring from hand-shake; Intelligent ISO Control helps prevent motion blur; and Face Detection helps produce clear portraits by optimizing the focus and exposure settings. The Intelligent big bright 2.5" LCD adjusts brightness automatically as the ambient light level changes, so images are clear, bright and easy to see. f=4.6-46mm (35mm equiv - 28-280mm) Focal Length 2.5 Diagonal Polycrystalline TFT LCD Display (230K dots) Focusing Area Normal - Wide 50cm/Tele 200cm - infinity, Macro/Intelligent AUTO / Clipboard - Wide 5cm / Max 200cm / Tele 100cm - infinity 8 - 1/2,000 sec.

Excellent Camera
Pros: Easy to use; easy to view & erase pictures already taken; nice size - comfortable to grip; great zoom & lens; takes excellent photos ie. clear & accurate
Cons: we still prefer an viewfinder. The monitor is difficult to see in bright light, and you cannot know if the photo is properly composed. However, I guess this is the standard with most smaller travel cameras.
Great Camera
I owen three Panasonic Cameras.
One of the best on the market.
The lense, made by Leica, makes a big difference in regards to the picture quality.
This one was a gift for my sister.
She really likes it.

I purchased this camera after using one belonging to a friend. I'm very satisfied with the picture quality and the ease of use. I like the zoom capabilites the 10X combined with the digital zoom allows me to take decent pictures even at a far distance.
Two things I find annoying at times. In bright sunlight, the monitor is hard to see and on ocassion I find myself pushing the menu button with my thumb while handing the camera. Neither one of these things are major issues for me and I would recommend purchasing this camera.

Well designed camera. Has alot of features if you know how to use them.
It's intimidating at first, but with some experience with it, it will be worth having. Good price well designed to navigate through the screen.
... but AWFUL audio noise / quality
i got this set from a club store and im really impressed on pic quality.
But when i used movie mode, i was surprised when i heard the audio. I thought it was the settings but after reading the manual, it says its audio is on fixed mono.
My other cams kodak mx1063, and sony dsc w80, sounded so much better.
