Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ1On a recent press trip to Lisbon, Portugal, I was given the opportunity to try out the new 10x zoom, 5 megapixel, compact Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ1 digital camera. Here are some sample images taken with a pre-production version of the TZ1 - please note that they do not represent the quality of the final production version of the camera.

Can this be? I hardly see any noise or purple fringing. I just hope the
production units are this good. smile

I wonder how noisy the zoom is.

Probably less noisy than other 10x zooms due to its integrated folded
optics design.

Great pictures.......especially IF they came straight from the camera without having been "cleaned up". If they look this good I'll/we will be happy campers!

Man I finally thought I figured out which digital camera I wanted, then I find this one! These pics are amazing - next to no fringing and hardly any noise! Although, as mentioned, I hope the pics aren't too noisy at higher ISO levels.
I hope this camera is the real deal.

Jen, I agree with you; however, before you get too excited, you may
want to check out the discussion about Mark's Panasonic FX01 photos,
much of which would apply here.

Anyone know where I can purchase one of these cameras slightly ahead of official distribution? I'm taking a big personal trip to India at the very end of March and I want to buy this camera especially for it, but I fear that it will be in the retail stores too late. Is it being distributed is Asia? Are there any personal websites offering it for sale?

Thanks a bunch!

How did you like using the ultimate camera without a viewfinder? Everything about this camera looks perfect with that exception.

Your photos look very good, albeit at a small size with respect to their maximum pixel count. I could not determine any exposure information from EXIFs, though. Are any of your shots taken at ISO 800? What's your experience with that, if you're allowed to comment on a pre-production camera?

How about posting a short, 4-8sec, Videoclip!
The TZ1 is supose to be able to zoom while recording. If that is the case.....and one can live with the quality of 640×680/840x840 at 30fps......only one piece would do it.
i.e. leave the Camcorder at home and only have a small piece in the pocket!
