Having had a TZ7 that dropped us after less than three years, we did not want put too expensive. So we opted for this one. Now we are really disappointed. Certainly, we are not experts, but our pictures too often tend to be dark, blurry or with red eyes ... The sensitivity is extreme. The videos are of poor quality since the zoom is used (also very slow). Some options are interesting but unnecessary since one can rework photos directly on the camera. Incomparable facing Tz! In addition, the notice given is short, we must look on the internet for more information of use. The device is certainly very compact but the photos are not up to our expectations.
