Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ30

What's not to like? The TZ30 has taken everything that made the TZ20 good and made it one step better. As follow-ups go they don't come much better. However, battery life could be longer and image quality could be improved further – though that's common for most, if not all, compact cameras.
Pros:
  • 20x optical zoom
  • excellent image stabilisation
  • very fast autofocus
Cons:
  • Battery life okay at best
  • GPS eats battery life
  • image quality good but not exceptional

Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ30: Trigger happy.

PRICE **** The camera is a very reasonable £230.00 isn (depending on where you get the camera from) though I would usually not pay this amount for a camera, it was a present to me and I'm very glad I got it as it is worth every penny.

Best balance at the bargain price I paid.

This camera was purchased cheaply, due to a closing down sale. I would not have bought this camera otherwise. It has won a lot of reviews, though the TZ25 has edged it in some. The image stabilizer is very good.
Pros:
  • This camera was purchased cheaply, due to a closing down sale
  • I would not have bought this camera otherwise
  • It has won a lot of reviews, though the TZ25 has edged it in some
  • The image stabilizer is very good.
Cons:
  • Typical of Panasonic cameras is make sure you leave the mode selector on shoot
  • The delay is long in review mode
  • No post red-eye removal in camera like my Canon SX200is.

Brilliant Christmas present

My husband was thrilled when he opened this and hasn't stopped using it since as so easy and picture quality superb. Good price from John Lewis coupled with cash back made this a 5 star purchase.

Certainly a good buy and very compact

I had a Nikon Coolpix S9100 prior to this but found the Auto focussing to slow resulting many pictures being out of focus as I wear glasses for reading and they are not always available, this camera is much better!
Pros:
  • Durable
  • Great Features
  • Great Picture Quality
  • Lightweight
  • Simple Controls
Cons:
  • None Found So Far
