  • 10x Zoom
  • HD Movie Mode
  • Smart Camera Controls
  • 3.0-inch LCD; Mega O.I.S. and Intelligent ISO

Just over $200 for one heck of a camera. I think I will let the review of jayzee77 at dpreview.com do most of the honors “I have been searching for years for the perfect compact point and shoot camera. I probably buy three cameras a year and resell the others. I can honestly say I have owned atleast one model camera of every major camera manufacturer. This is the best all around compact camera I have ever used.” And his praise matches up with what many are saying. This camera has very high reviews on man sites. You are getting an awesome zoom (10x), Smart camera controls and auto intelligent focusing along with HD movie clips. And it will still fit in your pocket. Downsides are very small. HD clips are limited to just over 8 minutes in length and you need a faster type of SD Cardto capture smoothly. Also the microphone placement seems to be in a place that some accidentally cover with a finger while filming. All in all one of the best cameras on the entire point and shoot list regardless of price.

The reviews are consistent. This camera is currently one of the best you can buy in this price range (higher even). The huge LCD screen and HD movie clips are icing on the cake

Buy the Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ5K 9MP
