Not interest me the manual possibilities of a compact camera. The automatic has to work well. And that, the TZ8 particularly well. An example photo I put in the picture gallery that particularly fascinates me. The photo shows a mini-helicopter just before the start, so at maximum speed. In P mode photographed with factory settings under fluorescent lighting without zoom. The pictures are so sharp, as if the rotors have stopped. For macro shooting with Zoom Camera is unbeatable.
