Product Description
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.

5 out of 5 stars Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ4S is a great little camera.   December 21, 2008

We received the camera very quickly and all was well. It's easy to use and the photos look very good (haven't had any printed as yet, but on the screen they look good). We recommend the seller and the camera.


4 out of 5 stars GREAT camera!!!   November 4, 2008

I've owned this camera for about 6 months and, for the price, it is one of the best deals out there.

Lowering the megapixels to 5 allows for 12x zoom. OIS works very well.

Takes great pictures in almost all lighting conditions. Only indoors (low light) could be better but not at all bad. Night shots are AMAZING (as long as you use a tripod for the long exposure).

Size is a little bulky compared to other compact cameras but other compacts don't feature 10x zoom.

iA works pretty well for taking pictures on the fly but they can get a little grainy. I prefer to keep the ISO @ 100 but it isn't ideal for all situations.

The display is big and bright and one of the best features is being able to zoom while shooting a video. Also love the positioning of the tripod mount to the door for the memory. I can easily swap memory cards without removing the camera from the tripod.

I had a Fujifilm Finepix F50fd 12MP Digital Camera with 3 x Optical Image Stabilization and that had the edge in detail and low light shooting but only had a 3x zoom. It was dropped during a trip and quit functioning. I've dropped the TZ4 twice (not as hard as the Fuji though) and it is still going strong.

I would not hesitate to recommend this camera to a friend.

This camera is fantastic. I bought a TZ1 several years ago and really loved the small size and 10X optical zoom. It was great for vacation shooting. I decided to give it to my daughter so I could get the "same" camera with 8 Mega Pixels.

There's no other point and shoot camera this small with 10x optical zoom.
I recommend it completely.



4 out of 5 stars Great value, wide-angle lens   September 1, 2008

This camera is performing very well, especially the 28mm lens. It makes all the different for interior shots of real estate.


5 out of 5 stars Best little camera AND a fantastic price   August 22, 2008

This camera is what I have been waiting for. It does it all. Easy to follow instructions. Easy to follow menus on the camera. Super photos and videos . And a price that did not hurt my budget.
