From black to brown TZ5 TZ10 - a rewarding transition

I admit reluctantly five stars, but the camera is highly recommended except for some details. After more than a thousand images I draw a very positive conclusion. I've thought long whether me the switch from the TZ5 is really worth that much but ultimately I am more than convinced. The good processing, together with the technical equipment into perspective the price.

However, on some points of criticism I would like to:

- More generally, the image quality is certainly still air compared to other 'compact' is the TZ10 While above average, it may absolutely no comparison with an SLR are made at higher ISO values. From ISO 400 should be something small look at the pictures better.

- A word of advice for 'Polarized' eyeglass wearers: The display itself seems to be already polarized, so it can not be used with such glasses in vertical format. So in short glasses pushed up to recognize the image '(no problem in landscape mode)

- I-Zoom can not be issued in IA mode

- Image stabilizer and Aspect ratios (16: 9, etc.) a little longer is no longer in the Q Menu, ie the last changes

- Battery life with GPS could be better

- Standard microUSB would be desirable

The GPS works quite well. Best 'always on' waiting in the function, once in the morning on a fixed signal and the day to go. The Panasonic has really well done! In the evening we will drive for about 150 pictures but to the power outlet. Who does not ever want to be dependent on the current traveling should rather turn off the GPS completely and / or set a second battery (possibly generic batteries).

The manual mode works well overwhelming. Once the light is not so good, I use the camera almost exclusively manually.

Also very beautiful is the Panorama Assist. The videos are very good (incl. Sound) and zooming can be heard when shooting with little or no.

To the varnish still be to say that he apparently at least as good as the smooth variant. My TZ5 looked after a year of fairly zerkratz, the TZ10 seems almost as resistant.

All in all, the transition from the TZ5 has absolutely worth it.
