I (! In my opinion) a good snapshot maker, but no photographer am, I am - as I often am back at home - decided on a Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ18EG-S Digital Camera. Previously I had the TZ4 and was very happy with it, but on the new camera irritated me the push and the different ways to work independently and creatively with the camera. Well, I have only two weeks ago and am still learning to handle the camera with him, but can say already that the light weight I like about (for travel), and the long battery life. The apparatus makes the usual clear shots and zoom meets all expectations. In my opinion, the built-in flash responds more precisely than in my old camera, objects and portraits are good and not brightly lit. For me, a very good buy!
