Camera is unfortunately not the "best travel zoom camera" in my view,

Until now I had with the Panasonic Lumix models always good cameras with on holiday. Now I wanted a newer model. Decided I signed up for the TZ71 for the very good test results and reports, which stated, inter alia, this is the best travel zoom camera.

Maybe I caught a Monday camera, but the camera I got was, unfortunately partially "very blurred / mushy" pictures. In particular, recorded in Intelligent Auto Mode (iA) pictures indoors are not sharp. Not even if the room is brightly lit. For exteriors it was partially better but also because image quality is not always convincing and therefore the camera is not worth 399 for me. Since the cheap camera from discounters makes my mother equally good photos.

I myself do not want to first make several manual settings at any photo I want to say right now. Mir is an intelligent automatic mode therefore quite important. I can imagine that if you do not use the iA, possibly to better pictures come about. I tried also some manual settings, but with the image quality, the result is always a "half and half". Partial normal and useful photos, partially noisy.
However, I myself need a for snapshots at any time ready camera and there is my old Panasonic of the image quality was better than the TZ71.
