Customer Review

The TZ61 has replaced my TZ3, with the years I was very satisfied. I take pictures with as much automatic, usually in the mode P with as little as possible individual settings.
Now for my experience:

Interior shots led almost exclusively to frustration.
In general, the camera tries to get hold automatic ISO numbers as low as possible. This leads sec when shooting indoors at shutter speeds of 1/5 and 1/8. The no one can without shaking hammer out of his hand (I say just anyway). Since then have been all standing quite still as in the early days of photography, otherwise blurred the image (with and without flash). Setting flash sync slows the absorption even further. Without SYNC has extremely fast red eyes.
For people shots with the flash at close range people really see this look like zombies.
From ISO 800, the images are too very pixelated.
These experiences I made at two weddings (in the registry office and at the celebration afterwards and in the Church and the subsequent celebration). It really was not a single photo useful. And that was not just me - Luckily I also took pictures with my old TZ3 the images were all significantly better.

But now for the better:
Then we went to Australia for 4 weeks. And for this trip I had actually purchased the camera. 4,000 photos all without exception TOLL !!!
All photos taken outdoors in good or at least not bad weather.
Even A3 enlargements for a calendar were inspiring beautiful.
Especially helpful were the insane zoom range (land based whale and other animals seen shots from a distance) and the viewfinder at blinding sunlight (well usable even with glasses).
The ability to prove the lens ring personalized with funct ons was helpful for me.
The fact that the Panasonic menu is self-explanatory and easy to use, meets again at the TZ61. The same applies to the key assignment.

Conclusion:
++ Super-travel camera in nice weather (5 Stars without compromising)
catastrophic indoors (with moving subjects such as humans) = max. 1 Star
