With this camera, you have to take little compromises, many meaningful Szenenmodis, plus the quick dial for Programmmodis (the same as in SLR cameras) and the well-known quality of Leica optics and all this with a pocket camera. Photographers heart what you wilster more. After a repair of my Canon Ixus has no longer profitable, I was looking for a new Snapkamera forever on the go, with this camera, I have found more than a substitute. If I need more I access my Nikon SLR back but with the Panasonic TZ25 EG-K the Great is now probably remain more often than usual in the closet. I will not go into too much detail now that others have already done before me, yet absulut recommended for beginners and advanced. Strong buy recommendation what price in terms of performance. Addendum interesting for divers After some time, I have the right underwater housing put on me (to 40 meters) from Panasonic and I have to say also underwater just perfect. Through the underwater scene modes that can be set in the camera of the annoying white balance is eliminated. The image quality is also excellent underwater.
