Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ5 Review
 TrustedReviews have reviewed the Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ5, a 9 megapixel update of Panasonic’s best-selling camera ever, the TZ3.
“Panasonic’s recent cameras have shown significant improvement in image quality, and the TZ5 continues this trend, although image noise is still something of a problem at higher ISO settings. There is a noise-like pattern visible in darker areas even at 100 ISO, although this may be an artefact of the image processing. Oddly shots at 200 ISO actually appear slightly cleaner, but the noise reduction kicks in at 400 ISO and fine detail begins to deteriorate. At 800 ISO the image looks like it’s been blurred and re-sharpened a few times, and at the maximum 1600 ISO colour reproduction is very poor and the image quality is very poor.”

Is TrustedReviews a bit partial towards Panasonic, because despite the critic they awarded such good grades to the TZ5?

No idea, since I never bother reading much about compact cameras. All except fuji are almost all equally bad.
But especially Panasonic is "renouned" for their (high) noise levels and artifacts in postprocessing, especially thanks to their useless megapixel race. So I wonder how they got the:
"However as long as you stay under 400 ISO the TZ5 is capable of producing excellent shots, with good colour, above average dynamic range and plenty of fine detail."
They really are improving these days?

Hello Panasonic!
So funny how you are able to put down your own company!
