## Description

Manufacturer's Description Panasonic's multiple award winning TZ series is pleased to welcome a new addition to the family. Sporting key features fundamental to the TZ success story – including AVCHD Lite HD movie recording capability, a 25mm ultra wide angle and powerful 12x optical zoom in a compact body – the TZ10 goes one step further to offer users built-in GPS and full manual control. The Lumix TZ10 has been awarded the Best Travel Compact Camera 2010/11 EISA AwardLumix TZ10 Winner of the Best Travel Compact Camera 2010/11 EISA AwardThe Lumix TZ10 has been awarded the prestigious Best Travel Compact Camera 2010/11 EISA (European Imaging Sound Association) Award. The panel stated: "The Panasonic LUMIX DMC-TZ10 represents a big step forward for the company’s TZ series. Beyond all the auto and user-selectable specialised scene options - with new Pinhole and Film Grain modes - the TZ10 offers the more traditional P/S/A/M shooting modes for greater control and increased creativity. As a travel camera, the inclusion of GPS and geo-tagging is very welcome, while the 12x 25-300mm Leica DC Vario-Elmar zoom lens offers focal lengths for every occasion. The feature set is completed with AVCHD Lite video recording. And, better still, it all fits very easily into your pocket".Ultra Compact Zoom With a strong heritage, this fourth generation TZ model features a high-quality LEICA DC VARIO ELMAR 25mm ultra-wide-angle lens with a 12x optical zoom. A high quality lens like this, with a range from 25mm to 300mm[1], is almost inconceivable in such a small, lightweight camera.The new model has a 14.5-megapixel CCD and shoots with up to 12.1-megapixel resolution. This enables multi-aspect shooting that can reproduce images taken with the lens set from 25mm to 300mm in any of three aspect ratios - 4:3, 3:2 or 16:9 - so you can always capture dynamic, richly expressive shots with a wide perspective. The Multi Aspect mode lets you to take an image in all three aspect ratios simultaneously then choose the one that best suits your scene after shooting -perfect for when you want to take a picture for widescreen TV use but also to make conventional prints.Never Forget your Location with Built-in GPS Function Panasonic’s TZ series has received world wide acclaim as an excellent travel companion because of a wide shooting range and hybrid recording capability of high quality photo and movie. The new TZ10 further enhances its value by adding a built-in GPS unit into the camera.Manual Exposure for More Control The TZ10's iA mode is the perfect camera for every user to be able to take beautiful shots effortlessly. Going one step further, the TZ10 also features manual control for advanced expressive photo shooting. It has A(Aperture Priority) / S(Shutter Speed Priority) / M (Manual Exposure) modes for advanced users to enjoy the creative shots depending on the subject or the scene by controlling the shutter speed and aperture. Each of these modes and iA mode can be quickly set by the mode dial on the top of the camera unit.HD Movie In addition to Motion JPEG images[4], the DMC-TZ10 can record high-definition motion picture in AVCHD Lite. It allows almost doubling of the recording time in HD quality compared with the conventional Motion JPEG format. The picture quality is greatly enhanced thanks to the newly added Intelligent Resolution technology. The TZ10 also features Dolby Digital Stereo Creator to record high quality audio, so you can match the beautiful motion images with outstanding stereo sound, and further offers a one-touch movie button for instant recording of videos.Introducing new POWER O.I.S Panasonic has incorporated Intelligent Auto mode in pursuit of the ultimate ease of operation and the reduction of misshots. In iA mode the camera does all the work, leaving you free to compose shots and capture moments. Just press, aim and shoot. This mode is now further advanced with the inclusion of r advanced image stabilization system POWER O.I.S. and Intelligent Resolution technology for the DMC-TZ10.A 3.0-inch, Super High Resolution 460,000-dot Intelligent LCD for Easy Viewing The TZ10 is equipped with a 3.0-inch, super high resolution 460,000-dot Intelligent LCD with a wide viewing angle and AR (Anti-Reflection) coating. The screen brightness automatically adjusts in 11 steps as the surrounding brightness level changes, ensuring easy visibility at all times. The big screen reflects fine details, making it easy to check the focus before shooting. It also serves as a small photo and video viewer, allowing the user and friends to enjoy viewing the still and motion images together.Continuing to push the boundaries and providing consumers with additional features to be proud of, such as GPS and manual control, users will be finding more reasons to go on holiday to enjoy the new model than ever before.

Review: Panasonic TZ10 - a Great Camera - I wanted to supplement my Fuji S9500, with which I am still well pleased, with a smaller digital camera. I was nearly seduced by a cheaper Fuji XP30 waterproof but went for the Panasonic in the end partly because of the 12 reviews I read, partly because of their photo samples (picture quality is what I buy a camera for) and partly because it is basically a Leica. I've had it only a few days and am delighted - ignore the negative reviews you might find. It is intuitive in use, has all the options a keen amateur (and for all I know, a keen professional) might want including easy and high quality video (even in mpg format, which I'll mostly stick with)and a great lens. It's actually given me a problem, because the picture quality is better, just, than my Fuji so it may supplant rather than supplement it. Thanks, Leica. There have been complaints about battery life and it certainly needs replacing more often than the 4 AAs in the Fuji; but I bought a spare (NOT a Panasonic one) which works perfectly and recharges faster than the original - I have just ordered a second spare, at £12.95 inc delivery. I can take 200 pix a day when out walking, so I don't want to be short of battery. If I find a battery with more than 895 mAh, I'll grab it. The GPS is certainly a drain on the battery but you'll rarely need it; I have a handheld GPS anyway, so I can always backtrack and compare the timings of photo and route waypoint. I've had a Canon AE1 Program for over 25 years and my first digital 8 years ago was a very good Nikon until the shutter delay became a nuisance, but the Panasonic TZ10 is easily the best camera I have handled. I cannot imagine needing to replace it until they make the same package available in a credit-card sized camera. It's also good value now that the replacement TZ20 has come along - I doubt it will be much better. PS - I don't work for desertcart, Panasonic, Leica or anybody in the photographic business!

Review: Superb compact camera - Far too much to write about this product, so I'll keep it short. Few points - on board memory is not enough so you'll need to invest in an extra memory card that's generation 6 or above, although I'm doing fine with a 16GB generation 4 card. The battery takes about 1.5 hours or less to charge and believe me, you'll probably want to invest in an extra Panasonic battery as it can drain fairly swiftly with lots of use. Lifting off static pictures to your PC is easy, however if lifting off video, you have to install the software that comes on a CD to do this. At the moment Youtube can't recognise the video format wich is an M2TS file, so you need to convert the file to MPEG for Youtube uploads. To edit HD video your PC needs to be very fast, at least 2.3Ghz even higher I think. Software to handle M2TS files is sparse too at the moment so check what software you need and if your PC is even fast enough to handle this. I edit my videos using a stand-alone Panasonic DVD recorder/Freeview/hard-drive box and not a PC myself as my laptop is not fast enough until I upgrade. Although you can use the automatic function to take pics, this utterly defeats the object in owning a camera like this. I learnt how to control the ISO, shutter and exposure manually and this is where this camera comes into it's own. When I was controlling everything manually, the results were far superior to auto, so I suggest you go off and learn what ISO, shutter speeds and different exposures can do. I found using auto simply wasn't delivering good results for me and if you learn a bit of this, you'll take amazing pics in low level light situations without having to use a flash for instance, where the results are far more atmospheric than bleaching everything out using the flash. The pics are lush and awesome as well as the video. The zoom is simply amazing as well as the macro (I photographed a bee on a flower petal and you can clearly see grains on pollen on it's legs, when viewed back on a PC screen) Slight annoyance when videoing and zooming in as the motor noise gets recorded too but barely noticable. Pics get recorded with all properties which is great, ie, right click the pic on your PC and select details to see all information of that single picture. This camera also has GPS to geo-tag holiday pictures but keep it in the off mode as it drains the battery even when switched off. Overall, this is an awesome piece of kit and truly amazing at how much technology they can compact in such a small unit with absolutely stunning pictures. However, you will not get amazing pics if you do not learn how to control ISO, shutter speed and exposures, imho.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Great Specification Supports the High-Quality Images You Can Take with this Compact Gem
*by M***S on 27 March 2011*

*** Note that this model has now been superseded by the TZ20, which appears to offer improvements without affecting quality; however, it sells for some £100 more so you have to decide if the 'extras' are worth it (until the price inevitably drops !). Panasonic Lumix TZ20 Digital Camera - Black (14.1MP MOS, 16x Optical Zoom) 3 inch Touchscreen LCD As an alternative, you might also be interested in the Samsung WB600: Samsung WB600 Digital Camera - Black (12MP, 15x Optical Zoom) 3.0 inch LCD for which I've written a comparison review vs the TZ10; it is dated 14 Jun 11. I've also added a customer discussion post, viewable at the base of this product page, about a tip/trick regarding initialising the GPS; observations on a case and spare battery are at the end of this review. --- I bought my TZ10 only a few months ago but am already very impressed with it and, despite relying quite heavily on a digital SLR with a wide-range zoom, make use of it far more than I thought I would since it is so well specified, takes such good pictures and (most notably) is capable of recording high quality HD video. For me, it has one significant 'issue', related to that video mode, which I expand on in the negative points section of my review. --- A few months later and I've just got back from a month in the USA where I took some 2200 photos/video (shared with my EOS as that has a polarising filter which takes much better photos in bright/blue-sky conditions). The video capability proved to be as good as I have already hinted at below. However, I also found the panorama-assist function to be absolutely priceless. With a bit of effort you can produce stunning wide-vista shots of scenery etc. For the best chance of a seamless panorama, the trick is to use the zoom no wider than a 4x setting, so that the joining photos are not distorted by being at wide-angle and so they merge perfectly since they are all 'flat' views.... Then, use the included software to automatically collate the related photos together and then produce a seamless large/panoramic photo. Left alone to do it's stuff, it takes the software about a minute or so to produce the result, whereas doing it yourself manually could take hours ! Poster enlargements I've had printed of my panorama 'collations' are extremely impressive. My trip also showed that I STILL haven't mastered all the functions of the camera. I completely forgot/was ignorant about the multitude of vital exposure settings you can make via the '+/-' button which sits above the 'Menu/Set' button. I'm used to using exposure compensation/auto-bracketing on my SLR but should have realised that the TZ10 also has those capabilities. See pages 53-55 of the user guide to ensure you don't make the same mistake that I did ! --- Suffice to say that like most relatively high-end compact digital cameras it has more features than you can shake a stick at, but the notable ones are : The enormous maximum and minimum range of the optically-stabilized (NOT the far less desirable digitally stabilized) zoom lens - it's made by Leica. The quality of the 'AVCHD Lite' video footage it can take - it is astonishingly good. Unrestricted access to the zoom range whilst taking video (a LOT of cameras inhibit/freeze the optical zoom setting once you are recording video or only allow digital zoom to be used, which will be inferior). *** The 3 above features are the pivotal reason I bought the TZ10. The (potential) still-picture quality - you obviously may need to fiddle with settings to achieve your aim !. An excellent panorama-assist function which has 4 recording-direction modes (Left-Right, R-L, Up-Down, D-U) and a useful 're-take last shot' option (eg if the picture alignment could be improved). Program, shutter and aperture priority program modes (these are NOT a given even on highly-specified compacts...) - plus the usual array of custom/'scene' modes. The clarity of the operating screen. It is small, well-built, sturdy (the case is predominantly made of metal) and fairly lightweight - considering metal is used in the construction !. Regarding HD video : - It is playable using the provided software (which also has limited editing functions). - If you download a 'm2ts' codec you can also playback in windows media player. - It imports into my Sony Vegas Movie Studio HD Platinum 10.0 - hurray ! - I can't speak for all makes, but the media player in Panasonic Blu-ray players (with an SD card slot) supports playback of TZ10 photos/HD video - check the user guide to confirm. For me, the second-tier plus points are : Built-in GPS (I thought this was a questionable feature but can see it being very useful when touring as you can lose track of where you've been or what the photo is of !). The provided software is, for once, not the usual 'Mickey Mouse' offering but operates well and also gives access to GPS data, playback, a very effective panorama 'stitch' facility (which automatically collates al the related panorama-assist photos you're taken to produce a single, completely seamless panorama 'photo'), file export/conversion and copy to other folder capabilities (good for archiving, especially as it moves the associated GPS data files - you would lost that information if you copied the image files using Explorer for example). The handy placement of the dedicated video record button. The flexible GPS settings, not just always on or off but it also includes an 'activate when camera is turned on' mode. Ability to change GPS location data for individual images/videos. The worldwide GPS co-ordinate/map data is built into the firmware of the camera, so there is no need to download and install it (like some other cameras...). The handy quick-menu (eg easily change the battery-sapping GPS setting). Utilization of an external battery charger (supplied) - I prefer this as you can use the camera/charge spare batteries at the same time, but also it doesn't expose the camera to potential damage from mains-sourced electricity (spikes etc, I've been there !). No camera is perfect, so despite my laudatory comments above there are some gripes (one quite significant) : *** The screen temporarily goes blank after selecting video record. This can be a nightmare if you are tracking something (especially if zoomed-in), as your subject is VERY likely to not be in the frame anymore once recording starts and the display 're-activates' - this often causes missed coverage or having to re-acquire your subject (which may also require you to zoom back out to achieve this !); B_A_D ! Auto-preview is mandatory in 'IA' mode. I dislike auto-preview as it takes up valuable time to generate the display of your last shot, which therefore delays when you can next press the shutter - useless for action shots ! The instruction manual is a shambles. It caters for 3 different models, so you have to permanently check you're reading relevant information. Also, despite often being very (too ?) comprehensive it is prone to omitting pertinent information eg the panorama-assist section doesn't mention what orientation modes are available, merely that a choice exists ! The 'My Scene' mode (allocate a specific scene-mode to a dedicated control dial position, saving you having to select it from the very 'populated' scene-mode menu) doesn't allow the panorama-assist mode to display the initial recording-direction menu which appears if it is selected manually from the scene-mode menu. The zoom control can be very sensitive/erratic/laggy - this makes achieving a precise zoom setting first-time quite tricky, almost impossible in fact. Even with my relatively small fingers it can be difficult to select the desired button on the rear menu/cursor button array - I often select the wrong one by mistake..... So, you can hopefully see that my plus points far outweigh the negative; although the video blank-screen 'feature' really can limit functionality, making a camcorder preferable in certain situations as they usually maintain the lens 'feed' to the screen during the transition to recording - if Amazon ratings could be made in 1/2 point increments, this aspect would make me lean to giving a score of 4-1/2, not 5, as it is so relevant for me. In summary: the HD video, zoom range/functionality and GPS aspects are 'killer' features which make this camera both versatile and highly-capable, elevating it well above the 'norm' of other compact digitals. --------- A case and spare battery usually essential accessories for a camera. I have generated an Amazon Discussion (dated 30 Mar 11) with details of a suitable hard case and higher-capacity battery bought on eBay. I also got another case on Amazon (which has better accy storage), perfect for the TZ10 and competitor WB600 - see my review and usage photos : Hama Sorento 70M Bag - Black/Orange
