The Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ5 Digital Camera is remarkable in that it contains a 10x wide-angle optical zoom lens in a compact stylish body for the ultimate in picture performance and user convenience. With 9.0 effective megapixels of resolution for incredibly detailed images and a wide-angle Leica DC lens (equivalent to 28 - 280mm on a 35mm film camera) this versatile camera is well suited to a broad range of shooting opportunities. You can easily capture a large group of people or expansive architectural structures and landscapes with the wide end of the zoom range or zoom in for sports wildlife and event photography. In addition the Optical Image Stabilizer feature (Mega O.I.S) minimizes the jitter from shaky hands that causes many photos to look blurred ensuring that your images are always beautifully clear. The DMC-TZ5 is incredibly fast thanks to the Venus Engine IV processor which provides fast consecutive shooting and boasts outstanding response time thus enabling easy capture of spur-of-the-moment shots. The image processor also provides for efficient power consumption contributing to the camera's ability to take 300 pictures on a single charge of the included lithium-ion battery. The camera also includes a huge bright and high resolution 3.0 LCD display to easily frame and view your images. 9.0 Megapixel, 10x Wide-angle Leica Zoom Lens, 3.0" Intelligent LCD Display, MEGA O.I.S.
