One of the best point and shoots!!!
I own a Nikon 5600 point and shoot and was satisfied with it... Later I upgraded to an entry level SLR (Nikon D60)..
However, it was not possible for me to take the D60 everywhere and so was in need of a point n shoot that could give me good pictures and a good optical zoom in any lighting conditions..
After reading a lot of reviews about the Tz4K I finally bought one...
I am very satisfied with the purchase

Not for pics of kids indoors
I used to have the FX01 and everyday that I used it, which was close to every day, I would say how much I loved this camera. Then it fatally broke and I "upgraded" to the TZ4. Every other day that I use this camera, I say how much I hate it!!!
I know I should give it 3 stars because for outdoor shots it is 5 stars but candid indoors a 1 star might be too generous.
I feel as though I was ripped off by several hundred dollars. When I first got the camera 2 years ago, I took tons of outdoor pictures of Chicago buildings in the bright summer sunlight. The zoom would take a clear picture over 50 stories high (check out my Jetsons Chicago video on Youtube ruthejp13). But once I brought the camera indoors after it was too late to return it, I discovered the horrible flaws. People in the corners and background of bad lighting shots looked like they were Coneheads. If the main subject wasn't blurred, which was often the case, the further depth subjects looked like something in a carnival house of mirrors. Now I don't even carry the camera with me anymore because I hate it so much. One of the reasons I liked my first Panasonic is because I could do so much with it. I knew all the settings and best way to capture what I wanted. With this camera it doesn't matter what setting, it won't take good pictures of moving kids indoors. I know, I've tried everything for the past two years.
They upgraded the firmware once for better focusing and it helped but not enough. I would love to compare it to an old fashion film camera because I think the processor is messing up the pictures instead of improving them. What good is a "image stabilization" if round-faced baby looks like her head was pulled to a point with forceps? It might be a nice clear picture but not accurate by any means.
I'm thinking about getting something without image stabilization or focus just so if the picture is bad, I know it's my fault. Not really but that's how bad it is. Seriously though, one picture the kid was in the upper corner and the next picture that same kid was in the center. You could not tell he was that same child and the picture was taken a second later. When framed artwork in a background corner looks curved, you know there is something wrong.

Very Nice all Around Camera
You don't need to do much to get a good picture just click the button and it Takes great pictures 99% of the time. The zoom is great also,has come in handy many times. The only down side to this camera is that it is kinda bulky to just stick in your purse, but that's about it.

Panasonic Cameras HistoryPanasonic Corporation (formerly known as Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd.) is a multinational corporation based in Kadoma, Japan.
Panasonic was founded in 1918 by Konosuke Matsushita. The company was first selling duplex lamp sockets.
In 1931 began the production of radios. But earlier, in 1927, it produced a bicycle lamp, and it was their first product marketed under the brand name National – meaning for people, for nation. The production of road and touring bicycles and their components composed a substantial portion of the goods manufactured by National/Panasonic Corporation from 1945 through the end of the 1980s.
In 1955, the company labeled its export audio speakers "PanaSonic", which was the first time it used its "Panasonic" brand name. This name was created from the elements "pan" meaning "all" combined with "sonic" meaning "sound”.
After Konosuke Matsushita traveled to the United States in 1961, Panasonic began producing television sets for the U.S. market under the Panasonic brand name, and expanded the use of the brand to Europe in 1979. The company began opening its plants around the world. It quickly developed a reputation for its reliable products - televisions, radios, and home appliances.
In the 1980-s, Panasonic continued to produce <... More About Panasonic Cameras |
