DigitalCameraInfo likes the image stabilization of the 5 megapixel Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ1 and they continue to write - “The Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ1 was released last year at a time when the ultra-zoom market was beginning to expand and consumers were looking for compact options. The 5-megapixel TZ1 filled that niche, but since its release better cameras have stepped into the market. Snapshooters should be very happy to have a long zoom lens that can fit in a coat pocket. We like the lens quality, but we think Panasonic’s excellent image stabilization takes much of the credit for making the long zoom useful for casual shooters. Though it’s not the camera for enthusiasts who want to experiment and take control of the process, at a budget price, it doesn’t need to be. This easy to use digital camera doesn’t provide stellar image quality, but has a good interface and concept.”
