This device is quite what I was looking for macro photography: light, very powerful. Note especially the ability to use the telephoto macro (this function as the "telemacro" already existed in the TZ20 and TZ35). Very useful to make the macro "remote" with unsuspecting insects. The first snapshot shot with this camera are of high quality. For more shots "classic" c''st also a good device. Little more the handy viewfinder when there is plenty of light. By cons, telephoto (bird photography for example), despite a large zoom range, less powerful than apparatus) interchangeable lenses
